Description
The Alpha Mercedes-Benz AMG M133 Carbon Fiber Performance Intake System is the ultimate upgrade for your A45, CLA45, or GLA45. Engineered to provide unrestricted airflow and cool, dense air to your turbocharged engine, this system significantly increases horsepower while improving turbo response and adding an exhilarating sound to your driving experience.
Key Features & Benefits
1. Big Power Gains
- +20 HP Increase: Achieved by replacing the factory 2.6” inlet filter with a robust 4” high-flow system.
- Reduced Turbo Lag: Smoother airflow improves throttle response and turbo efficiency.
2. Superior Design
- Carbon Fiber Construction: The air intake duct eliminates restrictive OEM components like corrugated plastic and airflow-blocking support pillars, maximizing performance.
- Matched Aesthetics: Carbon fiber weave and Alpha logo match the AMG engine cover, delivering a cohesive, high-performance look.
3. Optimized Airflow and Temperature
- Sealed Air Box Design: Ensures only cool, outside air is drawn into the intake, unlike open-element systems that reduce performance by pulling hot engine bay air.
4. Built to Last
- Durable CNC Aluminum Adapter: Provides a smooth, strong connection to the air filter, ensuring reliability.
- Reusable Dry Media Filter: High-flow synthetic material requires no messy oils and is easily cleaned with compressed air or biodegradable cleaners.
Easy Installation
