AMG GT Intake | Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System for Mercedes-AMG (2019-2021)
Upgrade the intake system of the Mercedes-AMG GT with a lightweight carbon fiber solution developed for the M178 4.0T V8 Biturbo engine. This AMG GT intake is manufactured from pre-preg carbon fiber and cured using autoclave technology to achieve consistent laminate quality, dimensional stability, and a precise OEM-replacement fit.
The system is designed for Mercedes-AMG GT, GT R, and GT C models from 2019 to 2021. With a 6-piece configuration, 3K twill carbon fiber finish, and a dedicated M178 application, it provides an alternative to the original intake system for performance-focused builds and aftermarket applications.
For distributors, tuning companies, performance brands, and other B2B buyers, the product is also available with OEM, ODM, and private-label support.
AMG GT Intake Designed for the M178 4.0T V8
The Mercedes-AMG M178 V8 engine requires an intake system that can work within a tightly packaged engine bay while maintaining reliable connections between the air filter, intake tubing, and engine-side components. This carbon fiber intake was developed specifically around the M178 platform rather than being adapted from a universal intake design.
The AMG GT intake uses a multi-piece configuration to accommodate the original engine-bay layout and provide a practical installation solution. The components are produced using precision molds and controlled composite manufacturing processes to maintain consistent dimensions between production batches.
Compared with conventional metal or plastic intake components, carbon fiber also provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and a distinctive appearance. The standard 3K twill weave finish is suitable for performance vehicles where both under-hood appearance and component weight are important considerations.
The intake is intended to provide a smoother and more performance-oriented airflow path while maintaining compatibility with the specified vehicle application. Actual power, airflow, and intake-temperature changes can vary depending on the vehicle configuration, calibration, ambient conditions, and other modifications.
Direct OEM-Replacement Configuration
This M178 intake uses product number WK-BCM178-1921-4.0T and is developed for Mercedes-AMG GT, GT R, and GT C applications from the 2019–2021 model years.
The components are CAD-verified during development and dimensional checks are performed during production to help maintain repeatable fitment. The application is intended for vehicles using the specified M178 4.0T V8 Biturbo configuration.
Before ordering, B2B buyers should confirm the vehicle model year, engine configuration, and existing intake components to ensure application compatibility.

Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber and Autoclave Manufacturing
Material selection and manufacturing consistency are important for carbon fiber intake components because the parts must maintain their shape and connection dimensions under engine-bay operating conditions.
This AMG GT intake is manufactured using pre-preg carbon fiber. During production, the carbon fiber material is positioned according to the component’s designed laminate structure before being placed into precision tooling. The components are then cured under controlled temperature and pressure in an industrial autoclave.
Autoclave molding allows the curing process to be controlled more consistently than conventional room-temperature composite processes. It also helps produce a dense, rigid laminate with repeatable surface quality and dimensional stability.
For aftermarket manufacturers and distributors, production consistency is particularly important because replacement components need to maintain the same basic dimensions and connection positions from batch to batch.
3K Twill Carbon Fiber Finish
The standard configuration uses a 3K twill weave carbon fiber surface, giving the intake a recognizable motorsport-inspired appearance.
For private-label and OEM/ODM projects, alternative surface specifications can be discussed according to the requirements of the target market. Available options may include:
- Gloss or matte clear coating
- Alternative carbon fiber weave patterns
- 12K carbon fiber appearance
- Forged carbon appearance
- Custom logo application
- Custom packaging and labeling
Custom specifications should be confirmed during the quotation and sample-development stage.
OEM, ODM and Private-Label Support
This product is available not only as a finished aftermarket component but also as a starting point for B2B development projects.
Performance parts distributors, tuning companies, workshops, and automotive brands can request OEM or ODM cooperation based on their market requirements. Our manufacturing support can cover product configuration, carbon fiber finish, branding, packaging, and production quantities.
For private-label projects, buyers can provide their own brand identity and packaging requirements. We can also support sample production before moving to larger-volume manufacturing.
Typical B2B cooperation options include:
- OEM production for established product specifications
- ODM development for customized intake projects
- Private-label manufacturing for aftermarket brands
- Custom carbon fiber finishes
- Custom logo and branding
- Customized packaging

Why Choose This AMG GT Intake for Your Aftermarket Business?
For businesses sourcing a dedicated M178 intake, the key advantage is not simply the carbon fiber appearance. The product combines a vehicle-specific design with established composite manufacturing capabilities.
The AMG GT intake is produced for a defined M178 application, uses pre-preg carbon fiber and autoclave molding, and is available as a 6-piece system. This makes it suitable for performance aftermarket distributors and brands looking for a differentiated carbon fiber intake product rather than a universal intake solution.
With OEM/ODM and private-label support available, the same product platform can also be used for different aftermarket business models, from sample evaluation and small initial orders to larger-volume production.
If you are sourcing an AMG GT intake for distribution, tuning applications, or a private-label performance parts program, contact our team for product specifications, sample requirements, customization options, and bulk-order information.
