Aerospace-Grade Induction Aesthetics: Premium Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber
Elevate the engine bay of your M178-powered Mercedes-AMG GT with a visual upgrade that matches its world-class performance. The PTG M178 Carbon Airboxes are engineered by Premier Tuning Group to provide an elite, aerospace-level “Pre-Preg” carbon fiber finish to your induction system. These airbox lids serve as a direct replacement for the original black plastic factory units, utilizing the exact same high-quality material found in the factory carbon engine covers of GT-R and newer GT models.
Designed with a focus on aesthetic perfection and structural integrity, these carbon components transform the appearance of the “Hot-V” engine valley. This is the definitive choice for owners who demand a cohesive, motorsport-inspired look without compromising the sophisticated engineering of the original Mercedes-AMG induction architecture.
Engineered for Intentional Performance
A common question in high-horsepower builds is whether the factory airbox and panel filter are sufficient for increased performance targets. On the C190 chassis, the factory air intake system is a highly complex assembly designed with specific intent.
- Optimized Airbox Volume: The airbox lid itself is not a point of restriction in the M178 platform; rather, the factory limitations exist within the inlet tubes and the original air filter elements.
- Seamless Integration: These lids maintain the intentional design of the factory system while replacing the dull plastic aesthetic with high-gloss, autoclave-cured carbon fiber.
- The Ultimate Combination: For maximum performance results, pair these lids with our M178 Carbon Air Inlets and M178 High Flow Filters. Together, this trio creates an optimized induction suite capable of supporting all your horsepower needs.
