GEN 2 Cold Air Intake System, M157

The BlackBoost USA Cold Air Intake System Gen 2 is meticulously crafted for Mercedes AMG CLS 63(S) M157 engines, offering enthusiasts a pathway to enhanced power, improved efficiency, and a visually striking engine bay. Constructed from precision laser-cut, high-strength aluminum, the airboxes are finished in a durable black powder coating and assembled with stainless steel fasteners. This robust design ensures optimal performance even under extreme conditions. This system features newly designed twin high-flow synthetic dry oval air filters, providing a larger surface area for superior airflow and filtration, ensuring your engine receives cleaner air for improved performance. The molded composite intake tubes are engineered for peak efficiency and include integrated 1/8th NPT ports, allowing for easy pre-turbo methanol injection upgrades to reduce intake temperatures and optimize airflow. Oversized inlet ducts and heat-resistant couplers further enhance airflow and ensure durability. The BlackBoost Generation 2 Cold Air Intake System is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, requiring no ECU tuning or additional modifications for installation. It seamlessly integrates with other performance components and is compatible with the following vehicles: E63(S) AMG (W212/S212) M157 5.5L V8 BiTurbo (2013–2016), CLS63(S) AMG (C218/W218/X218) M157 5.5L V8 BiTurbo (2012–2018), E500 (W212/S212) M278 4.7L V8 BiTurbo (2013–2016), CLS 500 (C218/W218/X218) M278 4.7L V8 BiTurbo (2012–2018), E550 (W212/S212) M278 4.7L V8 BiTurbo (2013–2016), and CLS 550 (C218/W218/X218) M278 4.7L V8 BiTurbo (2012–2018). This system has shown proven gains of 8-30+ HP on stock vehicles, improved throttle response, and supports airflow for builds up to 1000+ WHP, all while ensuring no check engine light is triggered.
