Select the year of your Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG:
Alright, let's talk about the Alpha Performance Air Filter & CNC Aluminum Adapter for your Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. If you're like me, you know that the factory intake system tends to muffle the turbo noise a bit too much, and that's just not cool. This upgrade is all about letting your turbo breathe freely while cranking up that horsepower. Seriously, it's like giving your engine a breath of fresh air.
We found that the stock intake was pretty restrictive. So, our team went ahead and designed a smoother transition from the factory 2.6" inlet to a beefy 4" filter. This isn't just for show; it's a game changer. With this upgrade, you can expect a boost of over 20 horsepower just by swapping out the air filter. That's right'more power without breaking a sweat!
Now, I've seen some aftermarket systems that go for an open filter design, but here's the catch: they tend to suck in hot air from the engine bay, which is a total buzzkill for performance. We kept the stock air box intact, which means you're still pulling in cool air from outside. This setup keeps your intake temperatures down, giving you more consistent performance.
Installation? A breeze! You won't need any cutting or permanent modifications. It bolts right into your factory air box in under 15 minutes. Plus, the CNC'd billet aluminum construction with an anodized finish means it's not only tough but looks sharp under the hood. And that high-flow dry media filter? No messy oils or special cleaners required'just blow it off with some compressed air every now and then, and you're good to go.
If you want to kick things up a notch, consider adding our Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake Duct. The stock plastic duct has some serious flow restrictions. We've eliminated those with our carbon fiber option, ensuring your engine gets all the cool air it craves without any hindrances.
- 20+HP increase in just 15 minutes
- Utilizes factory ducting for cooler air and max power
- Reduces turbo lag
- Smooth transition for optimal airflow
- High-flow, low-maintenance dry media filter (no oil needed)
- No computer tuning required
Fitment:
- Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG 2013-2018
- Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG 2013-2018
- Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG 2013-2018
So, if you're looking to boost your ride's performance and actually hear that turbo spool, this filter and adapter combo is a solid choice. Your engine will thank you!
