Upgrading the M177: where to start

Most M177 owners start with a BlackBoost Gen-2 cold air intake and an FTA adapter. Both are plug and play. On stock vehicles our intakes have shown 8 to 30+ hp gains. Upgraded throttle body couplers and wide open thermostats are simple next steps, especially for cars driven hard in the UAE heat.

For more flow and sound, add catless downpipes, a valved exhaust system (E63 213 and GLC63 253) or a BlackBoost Exhaust Valve Module. Catless downpipes need a tune and are for race use only. For the G63 (463A) we make downpipes in both OPF and non-OPF versions.

M177 parts are listed with the engine variant, for example LS1 for the C63 (205) and LS2 for the E63 (213). Always match the model, chassis code and engine variant in the product title. Driving a non-AMG G500, G550 or S560? Those use the M176, and the AMG GT sports cars use the M178.

Frequently asked questions

Which cars use the M177 engine?

In our range: Mercedes-AMG C63 (205), E63 (213), GLC63 (253), GT63 4-Door (290), S63 (222 and 217), G63 (463A and 465), GLE63 (167 and 293), GLS63 (167) and SL55/SL63 (232), plus the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, DB11 V8 and DBX/DBX707.

What is the difference between M177 LS1 and LS2?

They are two versions of the M177 used in different models, and some parts differ between them. We list the version in every product title, for example LS1 for the C63 (205) and LS2 for the E63 (213). If you are not sure, send us your VIN and we will confirm the right part.

Do M177 upgrades need a tune?

Cold air intakes, FTA adapters, couplers and Exhaust Valve Modules are plug and play and need no tune. Wide open thermostats need no tune either, but should be installed by an experienced mechanic. Catless downpipes need a tune to remove the check engine light.

Do you make an M177 thermostat?

Yes. Our M177 wide open thermostat keeps coolant flowing through the radiator at 100% at all times, instead of waiting for the factory thermostat to open at around 100Β°C. It is designed for racing applications and suits hot climates like the UAE, but is not recommended in very cold weather.

Yes. We install at our Ajman HQ and our Abu Dhabi branch, and our products can also be fitted at our partner workshops. Call +971 6 740 1535 or email info@black-boost.com to book.
