W205 C63 / C63 S Front-Mount Air Intakes — Performance-focused intake system for the M177 (hot-V). Front-mount ducting feeds the boxes directly for lower restriction and cooler charge air under sustained pull. Track-biased; best results with hood liner removed. Works with stock boxes or TunedMercedes sealed boxes. Rain-safe options available.

Description

TunedMercedes C63 / C63 S Front-Mount Air Intakes (W205 • M177)

Track-leaning system that feeds the airboxes directly from the front of the car for lower restriction and cooler inlet temps during sustained pulls. Best results with the hood liner removed; daily-driver setups can retain liner with our low-profile hardware.

Why It Works

  • Direct path: front-mounted inlets shorten the path and reduce turns before the airboxes.
  • Velocity stacks: blended bellmouths smooth entry and reduce separation at the duct mouth.
  • Thermal bias: more fresh air to the boxes helps keep IAT rise in check on back-to-back pulls.
  • Hood-liner note: removing the liner reduces pressure build-up at speed and frees clearance for our low-profile top section.

Build & Options

  • Construction: Aluminum, 3D Printed possible on request.
  • Noise: expect more turbo spool/woosh under load, and VTA blow off sounds when off of throttle.

Compatibility

  • Engines: M177 4.0TT (W205 C63 / C63 S).
  • Years: 2015–2018;
  • Not for: M178 AMG GT (different front structure).

What’s Included

  • Left + right front-mount ducts.
  • MAP Sensor Extenders
  • K&N Filters

FAQs

Do I need a tune?
No—system is compatible with stock calibration. A tune can further optimize torque limits and transient response.
Will this trigger a CEL?
No—no sensors are changed. If you see a MAP plausibility code after install, re-seat clamps and verify there are no post-sensor leaks.
How does it compare to stock routing?
Stock feeds are conservative for noise and packaging. Our front-mount path shortens the tract and smooths the entry, reducing pressure drop into the boxes—especially noticeable on repeated high-speed pulls.
Is water ingestion a risk?
Please do not drive car into standing water.

Lead time: typically 5 business days. Hand-finished; minor surface variation is normal.

These have been tested on TunedMercedes shop car and are designed to provide a significant power and performance lift over stock air intakes.

These are available with either K&N filters but can be made to fit other filters with integral MAP port.K&N RD-0720 air filter
