Product Description

The K&N 63-1701 AirCharger Intake System is engineered specifically for 2010-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans equipped with the 3.0 L V6 turbo-diesel engine. By replacing the restrictive factory airbox and intake with a high-flow HDPE tube and a large reusable cotton-gauze filter housed in a sealed airbox, the system significantly improves engine breathing. This results in a dyno-verified bump of roughly +7.6 HP and +11.6 lb-ft torque, enhancing throttle response, mid-range power, and potential towing/load performance under real-world conditions.

The enclosed AirCharger airbox reduces heat soak from the engine bay - ensuring the intake draws cooler, denser air for better combustion efficiency. The oversized, washable filter allows long maintenance intervals (up to ~100,000 miles under normal highway driving), and the included hardware makes installation straightforward and bolt-on, with no drilling or permanent modifications required. For Sprinter owners seeking improved performance, better throttle response, and reliable, long-term engine breathing - 63-1701 delivers a proven airflow upgrade compatible with stock tuning and everyday use.
