Under heavy load or increased boost pressures, this OEM configuration suffers from severe airflow turbulence and heat soak. The proximity of the factory intake tract to the M274 engine block allows ambient under-hood temperatures to negatively impact air density, ultimately capping horsepower output and causing sluggish throttle transitions, particularly in ECU-tuned applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis aftermarket induction kit re-engineers the intake pathway by eliminating the corrugated factory tubing and restrictive panel filter. Utilizing a high-flow conical air filter and smooth-bore piping, the system drastically reduces restriction and minimizes turbulence. An integrated heat shield effectively partitions the intake element from radiant engine heat, ensuring the M274 ingests a denser, cooler air charge. This thermal management is critical for sustaining consistent power delivery across the rev range. Dyno testing validates a maximum gain of +9.5 horsepower and +13.7 Nm of torque at 4900 RPM. A durable black finish provides long-lasting corrosion resistance and a clean, stealthy engine bay aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2014-2018 Mercedes Benz C-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eM274 2.0L \/ W205\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e241 hp \/ 273 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n \n  \u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2014-2018 Mercedes Benz W205 C180 2.0L\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2014-2018 Mercedes Benz W205 C200 2.0L\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2014-2018 Mercedes Benz W205 C300 2.0L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Mercedes Benz Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEngineered for strict European vehicle tolerances, this intake system delivers an aggressive, sporty induction sound while maintaining precise MAF sensor parameters to prevent Check Engine Lights (CEL).
