MST Performance Air Intake Kit – Mercedes C, E & GLC Class 2.0T M270 Engine
This intake kit from MST Performance is a straightforward upgrade for Mercedes-Benz models fitted with the 2.0T M270 petrol engine. It replaces the standard airbox with a free-flowing induction setup, giving the engine a better supply of cold air and improving performance in the process.
The M270 engine’s factory air intake is designed with noise reduction and emissions compliance in mind, which means airflow is somewhat restricted. Swapping it for this MST kit opens things up, with measurable gains in power and a more responsive throttle – particularly noticeable when accelerating at mid to high revs.
What Are the Performance Benefits?
Dyno testing (testing on a rolling road to measure power output) has shown gains of up to 12-14bhp on the M270 engine. These figures can vary depending on your vehicle’s condition, existing modifications, and other factors – but real-world improvements in throttle response and engine pull are consistently reported. You’ll also notice a more audible induction sound, which many drivers appreciate as a sign the engine is breathing more freely.
What’s Included?
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep intake air cool and away from engine heat
- Black powder-coated inlet pipe – replaces the standard restrictive pipe
- Red dry pleated performance air filter – easy to clean and maintain, no oiling required
- Full fitting hardware and step-by-step installation instructions
Build Quality
MST Performance use solid, well-finished components throughout. The powder-coated metalwork looks clean under the bonnet and holds up well over time. The dry pleated filter is simple to maintain – just remove and clean it when needed, with no messy oil treatment required.
