The Mercedes-Benz GL450 Intake Manifold is an air controller to the engine that directs the flow of cool, oxygen-rich air to all the cylinders in order to deliver torque immediately when the driver taps the throttle. Across model years Mercedes-Benz maintained the same mounting points, so swaps were easy and compatibility was guaranteed with the first-generation multiport fuel versions, the mid-cycle facelift as well as the new GLS successor. The cast-aluminum layouts in the early models brought rugged performance, with each subsequent Intake Manifold switching to lightweight composite to reduce mass, heat soak, keep the charge cooler for cleaner burns, save fuel, and reduce emissions. A smart system of variable-length runners dynamically varies the length of the air path, recovering pressure waves that launch the heavy GL450 off the line while leaving plenty of top-end breath to cruise at high speed. Inboard coolant galleries and airflow and temperature sensors positioned by the factory computer allow the computer to adjust ignition continuously, a characteristic that prevents lean spikes and enhances daily safety. This careful craftsmanship corresponds to the broader Mercedes-Benz devotion to luxury without compromising strength, and it helps the Intake Manifold provide years of leak-free operation when enclosed in its precise gaskets. Equal airflow also helps minimize pumping losses in the engine to enable the SUV to travel farther on a gallon and maintains exhaust temperatures constant to shield the turbos and extend oil life. Its easy breathing helps the GL450 shake off its significant weight with spirited acceleration, and the same architecture fits onto first-generation GL450 powerplants and subsequent units, making it easy for its owner to source. It is an iconic product that demonstrates innovation in the engine bay and is distinguished by Mercedes-Benz Helmholtz-tuned runners, integrated sensor mounts, and durable oriented materials.
