Cold Air Intake for Mercedes Benz CLK320 (1998-2003) 3.2L Engine

Upgrade your CLK320's breathing with a performance cold air intake engineered to deliver noticeable gains in power, throttle response, and that signature Mercedes sporty exhaust note—all in under an hour of installation.

Give Your CLK320 the Air It Deserves

The W208 CLK320 represents Mercedes-Benz's golden era of grand touring coupes—a time when V6 engines were smooth, interiors were plush, and the drive was all about refined performance. But let's be honest: the factory air intake system was designed for silence and emissions compliance, not for maximizing what that M112 V6 can really do.

This cold air intake system replaces your restrictive factory air box with a free-flowing T304 aluminum intake tube and high-performance washable filter. The result? More air reaches your engine, throttle response sharpens, and you'll notice improved acceleration when merging or passing. Plus, you'll hear that subtle but satisfying intake growl that reminds you there's a performance engine under the hood.

Key Features at a Glance

• Power Gains You'll Feel: Engineered to boost horsepower and torque by up to 10%, giving your CLK320 a noticeable kick when you need it
• Premium T304 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant piping built to last in all weather conditions
• High-Flow Filtration: Captures contaminants while maximizing airflow—no compromise between protection and performance
• Enhanced Engine Sound: Experience a deeper, sportier intake note that complements the CLK's character without being obnoxious
• Low Maintenance Design: Washable filter only needs cleaning every 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions

Installation & Fitment

This is a direct bolt-on upgrade designed for DIY enthusiasts. Using basic hand tools—screwdrivers and socket wrenches—you'll remove the factory air box and install this system in under 60 minutes. No cutting, drilling, or fabrication required. After installation, disconnect your battery terminal for a few seconds to allow your ECU to adapt to the increased airflow.

Built for Mercedes Durability

Constructed from T304 aluminum, this intake tube resists corrosion and heat soak while keeping weight minimal. The high-flow filter is engineered for exceptional filtration performance, protecting your M112 V6 from harmful debris while delivering maximum airflow. It's designed to withstand the engine bay conditions of your CLK320—heat, vibration, and daily driving demands.

• Better Acceleration: Improved throttle response makes your CLK feel more eager and responsive
