Mercedes Benz W205/W213/C253, C43/E43/GLC43 Inlet Pipe

Open up the path into both turbochargers. This Turbo Inlet Pipe kit replaces the restrictive factory inlets on the Mercedes-AMG C43, E43 and GLC43 with a pair of smooth, oversized reinforced silicone elbows and billet aluminium adapter flanges.

The factory inlets are the tightest point between the airbox and the compressor, and they are shaped around packaging rather than flow. Because the M276 runs a turbocharger per bank, both sides are restricted - and freeing them is one of the cheapest genuine gains available on the engine, particularly once a tune is raising boost.

The silicone elbows are multi-ply and reinforced, so they hold their shape under vacuum instead of collapsing the way a soft hose would. The billet adapters locate them precisely against the compressor housings and carry a mounting tab so the assembly sits exactly where the factory parts did.

Supplied complete as a twin kit - two elbows, two billet adapters, four stainless clamps and the mounting hardware.

Key Features

Supplied as a Twin Kit

The M276 is a V6 with a turbocharger on each bank, so it takes two inlets. This kit replaces both - changing only one leaves half the restriction in place.

Oversized Smooth-Bore Elbows

A larger, smoother path into each compressor than the factory inlet, removing the step and the turbulence that come with it.

Reinforced Multi-Ply Silicone

Holds its shape under vacuum rather than collapsing under high airflow, and shrugs off the under-bonnet heat that hardens a factory rubber inlet over time.

Billet Aluminium Adapter Flanges

Black anodised billet adapters locate each elbow precisely against the compressor housing, with a mounting tab so the assembly sits exactly where the factory part did.

Complete Kit Supplied

Two elbows, two billet adapters, four stainless steel clamps and the mounting bolts - nothing further to source.

Direct Bolt-On Fitment

Uses the factory mounting points and connections. No cutting and no fabrication.

Performance Benefits

When paired with supporting modifications and tuning, this kit can provide:

Reduced intake restriction into both turbochargers
Faster spool and sharper throttle response
More consistent airflow at higher boost
A more audible turbo note
One of the best value gains available on the M276

Performance gains may vary depending on tuning and supporting modifications.

Vehicle Fitment

Mercedes-AMG C43 (W205, 2016-2021)
Mercedes-AMG E43 (W213, 2017-2019)
Mercedes-AMG GLC43 (C253 Coupe and X253 SUV, 2016-2022)

3.0L Twin-Turbocharged M276 V6 Engine

Supplied as a complete twin kit. All three cars share the same M276 engine and inlet layout, which is why one kit covers the range.

Please Note

Professional installation is recommended.

Turbo inlets are a supporting modification. They are at their most effective alongside an intake and a tune, where the extra airflow can actually be used.
