This dry carbon cold air intake kit is custom built for Mercedes M276 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine for AMG C43 W205 and GLC43 X253. The stock intake housing has limited space. M276 engine generates plenty of heat from turbos and cylinder block during aggressive driving. OEM plastic intake has poor thermal insulation. Heat soak under hood increases intake temperature, reduces air density, slows turbo spool and causes power drop in mid-to-high range. Our prepreg dry carbon intake comes with dedicated cold air duct to draw cool air from front end and block thermal radiation from V6 engine. Enlarged intake chamber and tubes reduce intake restriction and boost airflow, improve twin-turbo spool response, unleash M276 V6 power reserve and deliver rich & delicate V6 turbo induction sound. Direct bolt-on replacement, all OEM MAF sensor and vacuum line mounting points preserved. No cutting required. It works without ECU tuning. Better power gain can be achieved with Stage 1 ECU remap, popular upgrade for street driving and mountain road enthusiasts.

1.Prepreg dry carbon one-piece housing, lightweight and high rigidity. Superior thermal insulation reduces heat soak, stabilizes intake temperature during hard driving and mitigates mid-range power loss of M276.
2.Custom enlarged intake runners reduce intake vacuum and increase air flow, speed up twin turbo spool, deliver sharper throttle response and stronger mid-range punch.
3.Reusable high-flow air filter balances reliable dust filtration and maximum airflow. Suitable for daily commute and aggressive mountain driving, reduces long-term replacement cost.
4.Independent cold air duct bypasses engine heat source, continuously supplies cool ambient air and maintains stable power during prolonged hard driving.
5.3D scanned moulding compatible with both W205 and X253 chassis, perfectly fits engine bay layout for two models. All OEM mounting points for sensors and vacuum hoses reserved, plug & play without modifying stock parts.
6.Premium woven carbon finish greatly upgrades engine bay appearance. Distinctive V6 turbo induction sound on acceleration, balances performance upgrade and engine bay styling.
