What It Helps Address

• Air leaks between the body and air cleaner housing
• Reduced engine response from restricted or damaged intake routing
• Check engine concerns related to intake tract sealing
• Loss of fuel economy caused by compromised airflow management

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inlet and outlet diameters, centerline length, and right-side body-to-air-cleaner-housing routing before installation. Because clamps are not included, reuse or source the correct clamps separately if required by the vehicle setup. Confirm the hose path and connection points on the specific Mercedes-Benz GL450, GL550, ML350, ML550, or ML500 application before final assembly.
