GLS63 AMG Cold Air Intake (X167)
NEW GEN 2 UPDATE AMG COLD AIR INTAKE TO SUIT GLS 63.
Built with a pre-preg carbon fiber intake tube, this system is designed to promote smooth, uninterrupted airflow while significantly reducing heat soak. The vortex-inducing filter, featuring 300% more surface area than the stock unit, ensures cooler, denser air reaches the turbos, unlocking the full potential of your GLS 63.
The ZAC Motorsport Cold Air Intake features New Fully enclosed airboxes, providing maximum protection from engine bay heat without compromising airflow. These airboxes keep intake temperatures lower, enabling twin-turbo V8 to breathe more freely and efficiently.
A signature feature is the optional gold anodized "Radiator Ring" heat sink—a beautifully machined piece that sits at the turbo inlet inside the carbon tube. Its radial fins help dissipate heat from the intake tube while reinforcing the clamping area for a secure and robust fit, ensuring long-lasting performance under extreme conditions.
Key features include:
-
OPTIONAL Fully Enclosed Airbox design Carbon lid option provides excellent heat protection while allowing optimal airflow to the intake system
- Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Intake Tube: Reduces heat soak while promoting smooth, efficient airflow for increased power
- Vortex-Inducing Filter: Delivers 300% more surface area than stock, improving air volume and turbo performance
- OPTIONAL Gold Anodized Radiator Ring Heat Sink: Strategically located at the turbo inlet to dissipate heat and reinforce the intake tube’s structural integrity
- OEM Fitment: Direct bolt-on for a seamless installation without modification
- 2-Year Warranty: Backed by a 2-year warranty for total peace of mind
Engineered with passion and precision, the ZAC Motorsport Cold Air Intake for the Mercedes-delivers unmatched performance, temperature management, and style for the discerning enthusiast.

Initially placed my order January 2nd unaware this was the beginning of whats closing in on a 5 month ordeal with an unknown amount of time left still waiting. Jan 5 there was an exchange to confirm fitment of another part I had ordered which was not going to fit so I was refunded that item no info about intakes. By Jan 24th still no word on intakes so i sent an email asking the status. Jan 26th i received a response stating they were updating the heat shields of the intakes and they will be ready to ship in 2-3 weeks. On Feb 3 it was announced that a new system was being made. I was given the option to wait or get the old system. Since in the email it stated they would ship end of feb-mid March i opted to wait for this new system. March 2nd i asked about an update, March 4th I received an email about a cyclone inbound to their facility and understandably this is going to have an impact on receiving the product. Only thing is that its still not in production, just test fitting stage now. We've gone from shipping feb-mid March of a completed product to now still in the initial stages of making a finished product to produce? Next email mar 16th still haven't test fitted their pre production model but will soon. (We seem to be going backwards here). Next email March 23rd fitment finally complete, expecting first batch of production completed in a week. Mar 30 received an order update email, decided to add another item to the order at this point, since it seemed like things were now moving along. I did say ship bith items together due to this. Then radio silence for over a month. May 2nd I had, had enough. I requested to cancel both orders. May 4th magically now the order will be shipped that week. Ok fine I said. May 19th next email saying my intake is in the next production batch... so t wasn't ever even planned to be shipped once again as promised. May 23rd received an email.saying the other item i purchased in March was shipping out (nothing about intakes). May 28th I received a package that contains maybe 1 complete intake and 1/2 of another intake plus 2 elbows from the other item. Best part is the logo on both intakes is upside down and doesn't have the ZAC logo at all I guess it says AVI but its upside down so I dunno. I've sent two emails on the 28th trying to figure out what's going on and still no response. If I could give 0 stars I would.
I'm sorry to hear how you feel about your experience, but I want to respond clearly and fairly.
None of the ETAs we provided were promises. They were based on the information we received from our suppliers at the time, and we shared those updates with you as we got them. The delays were due to delays with our (new to us) plastics supplier and disruptions caused by global tariff issues, both of which were explained to you along the way.
You were given the option to receive the previous version or wait for the updated system. You chose to wait. Throughout the process, we responded to your emails within a reasonable timeframe, typically within one to two business days, taking into account time zone differences, weekends, and public holidays. We also offered you a refund of the freight cost as a gesture of good will.
Regarding the badge orientation and item concerns, your first email mentioning that arrived yesterday. You did not give us the opportunity to review or resolve it before deciding to leave a negative review. The AVI badge you mentioned is covered by the airbox when installed, and given both left and right side intakes are the same, we would have happily just sent you another badge to fit yourself on the opposing intake, leaving the incorrectly installed badge on the underside, never to be seen. If something is genuinely incorrect or missing, we are more than willing to make it right. However it seems due to our 3PL warehouse's error you ended up with an extra set of intakes on our expense!
We are a small business doing our best to deliver quality products and transparent service through a difficult global supply environment. We have always been available and responsive. If you would still like this resolved properly, we are here to help.
Sounds cool. got a check engine light. was missing bolts in my order. No one from zac motor responded.
Hey Trap,
Not sure on your order number, or how you tried to contact us?
We have no correspondence from you.
Please email us with your original order number and we will gladly help you out.
Thanks, have a great day!
No issues with the intake tube,functions as described.
Overall good experience.
Post install within 50 miles check engine light came on.
The housing/enclosure for the intake filter could be more durable. It has multiple cracks already.
Through research it stated post install the original engine cover could be re-install but not true.
This would be a Great experience if there were clear install details for the GLS 63 Install and the components stated earlier were more durable.
perfect product
Perfect fit
I've been sporting the Zac intake system for about 2 months now! It looks amazing! The install is fairly simple and doesn't require many tools/skill. Your car will immediately sound more aggressive (tastefully) The price point is great, I thin ZAC over delivered on quality for this price point. Good Job ZAC! Ordering my downpipes now, will update on quality once received!
Morendi tune with Zac cold air intakes makes an amazing product. Better throttle response and the sound from intakes becomes much better.
just what I absolutely needed !
Highly recommend this product to any GLE63 owner looking for a boost in power and improved driving experience.
I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. The power increase is fantastic and the sound of my engine is intoxicating, sorry neighbours! :)
