M272 High-Flow Induction Upgrade for C230, C300, E350, C350, CLK350

If you own a Mercedes equipped with the M272 V6 engine, you already know the platform has untapped potential. The challenge isn’t adding noise or a marginal bolt-on—it’s removing the factory airflow limitations that hold the engine back.

The M272 High-Flow Induction Upgrade Kit is a true performance solution engineered for enthusiasts who want real, measurable gains and and a nice induction sound. Designed for C230, C280, C300, C350, E350, and CLK350 models, this kit delivers meaningful horsepower and torque improvements and better fuel economy, especially when paired with proper ECU tuning.

What Makes This M272 Induction Upgrade Different

Intake systems offer limited performance gains on the M272. They do little to address the primary restriction points in the factory induction system.

This kit goes further by targeting airflow at its source.

• High-Flow Intake Manifold Upgrade: Engineered to improve airflow across the entire RPM range, this manifold eliminates restrictive factory runner flaps—well-known weak points on the M272 platform. The result is improved high-RPM horsepower without sacrificing the low-end torque needed for daily driving.

• 82mm Performance Throttle Body: Larger than the factory throttle body, this upgrade reduces airflow restriction and improves throttle response. When combined with tuning, it allows the ECU to fully take advantage of the increased airflow.

Why This Upgrade Outperforms Typical Intake Mods

Unlike basic intake kits that primarily change sound characteristics, the M272 High-Flow Induction Upgrade is designed to support actual engine demand. By improving airflow where it matters most, this system lays the foundation for real performance gains—especially when paired with ECU calibration.

With proper tuning, gains of up to 30 horsepower are achievable, along with stronger mid-range pull, improved throttle response, and smoother power delivery.

Key Benefits for M272 Owners

• Real Performance Gains: Supports meaningful horsepower increases rather than marginal improvements.
• Preserves Low-End Torque: Unlike some high-RPM-focused mods, this kit maintains drivability.
• Solves Known M272 Weak Points: Eliminates factory runner flap issues that can lead to long-term problems.
• Ideal for Tuned Setups: Unlocks its full potential when paired with ECU tuning.
• Cleaner, More Efficient Airflow: Improves engine efficiency without compromising reliability.
• DIY-Friendly Installation: Designed for straightforward installation with common tools.
