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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied complete as a twin kit - two elbows, two billet adapters, four stainless clamps and the mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplied as a Twin Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M276 is a V6 with a turbocharger on each bank, so it takes two inlets.
