Cold Air Intake for Mercedes-Benz ML320 (1998-2003) 3.2L Engine

Maximize Induction Efficiency for your Mercedes-Benz M112 & M113 Powered Chassis

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz owners running the M112 V6 and M113 V8 engine families who want to improve throttle response and hear that signature German engineering work.

The Problem: The factory intake tract on the M112 engine is designed primarily for sound suppression and manufacturing cost. The stock corrugated plastic tubes create significant air turbulence and are prone to heat-soaking, which pulls timing and kills power. Furthermore, after two decades of heat cycles, the original plastic often becomes brittle, leading to micro-cracks and unmetered air leaks.

The Solution: This system replaces the restrictive factory air box with mandrel-bent T304 lightweight aluminum piping. By providing a smooth, high-velocity path for oxygen, we’ve corrected the airflow bottlenecks of the M112, delivering a more aggressive induction note and a noticeable improvement in mid-range torque.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Airflow Dynamics: The T304 aluminum construction maintains a consistent inner diameter, reducing the air-drag found in the ribbed factory hoses for better throttle sensitivity.
• High-Efficiency Filtration: Includes a washable, reusable synthetic media filter that offers superior debris capture while increasing the total surface area for air intake compared to flat paper filters.
• Bolt-On Integration: This kit is a direct replacement for the stock plumbing, requiring no permanent modifications or ECU flashing to see immediate results in drivability.
