This dry carbon cold air intake kit is custom built for Mercedes M260 2.0T turbo engine for AMG A35/A35L W177 and CLA35 C118. As entry-level AMG performance vehicles, W177 and C118 have compact engine bays with limited space for the stock sealed air box. The stock plastic intake has average thermal insulation. During prolonged aggressive driving, high temperature around the turbo causes heat soak, raising intake temperature and limiting sustained engine output. Our prepreg dry carbon intake is equipped with dedicated cold air scoop, drawing cool air from front grille and blocking thermal radiation from turbo and cylinder head. Enlarged intake chamber and optimized air path reduce turbulence and intake restriction, boost airflow, improve turbo spool and unlock M260 engine power, delivering smooth full-bodied 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 and throttle response gain can be achieved with Stage 1 ECU remap, an ideal entry performance upgrade for A35 / CLA35 owners.

1.Prepreg dry carbon one-piece housing, lightweight & high rigidity. Excellent thermal insulation reduces heat soak, stabilizes intake temperature under hard driving and maintains consistent power output of M260.
2.Optimized enlarged intake runners streamline airflow, minimize turbulence and raise airflow, reduce turbo lag, deliver snappier throttle response, earlier turbo spool and linear acceleration.
3.Reusable washable high-flow air filter balances dust filtration and maximum airflow, suitable for daily commuting and aggressive mountain driving, cuts long-term maintenance expense.
4.Dedicated front cold air duct bypasses hot engine zone, continuously supplies cool ambient air and mitigates power heat loss during prolonged aggressive driving.
5.3D scanned moulding compatible with W177 and C118 chassis, perfectly fits compact engine bay layout. All OEM mounting points for sensors and vacuum hoses reserved, plug & play without modifying stock parts.
6.Premium woven carbon finish upgrades engine bay appearance. Full and smooth turbo induction sound during acceleration, combines performance improvement with engine bay styling.
