Your Mercedes-AMG E63, E63S, GT63, GT63S or GLE63S deserves better than a flimsy plastic box fitted as standard. The ENDURA Air Intake System is the most comprehensive Intake upgrade available for the M177 4.0T V8 biturbo. Two black powder-coated aluminium housings, dual high-flow filters, transparent acrylic panels so everyone can see what’s under that bonnet, and an instant boost of 12 to 20 hp without even touching the ECU. This is the upgrade your AMG should have come with straight from the factory.
Many Intake kits for the M177 use rotomoulded plastic housings, which are functional but prone to warping due to the high engine temperatures of a biturbo V8. At ENDURA, we deliberately opted for aluminium housings with a black powder-coated finish – a material that withstands the heat, retains its shape and still looks just as sharp after thousands of kilometres as it did on day one. When you open the bonnet, you’ll immediately see those robust red high-flow filters behind the transparent acrylic panels. That’s the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why aluminium housings and not plastic, as with other kits?
Many Intake kits use rotomoulded plastic housings, which are functional but susceptible to warping due to the high engine temperatures of a twin-turbo V8. At ENDURA, we deliberately chose aluminium with a black powder coating – a material that withstands the heat, retains its shape and still looks just as sharp after thousands of kilometres as it did on day one.
What are those transparent panels?
They’re included for a reason. The transparent acrylic panels fit over the aluminium housings like a lid, ensuring the red high-flow filters remain visible whenever you open the bonnet. Engine porn at its best.
Is any additional tuning required after installation?
No. Without any modifications, peak power gains range from 12 to 20 hp, depending on fuel and altitude. With a tune, you’ll naturally get even more out of it.
Is this system a direct replacement for the OEM system?
Yes. The ENDURA Air Intake System replaces the entire original Intake system and fits exactly in the original position – no hassle, no modifications.
