{"title":"A-CLASS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mercedes-AMG A-Class is the sharpest small car AMG builds, and both engines in it respond hard to airflow - the M260 in the A35 and the hand-assembled M139 and M133 behind the A45 badge. At Proven Performance Parts, our A-Class collection delivers Stage 1 to Stage 3 hardware for the W176 and W177 cars: catless and catted downpipes with and without heat shielding, valved catback exhaust systems, mid pipes, cold air intakes, turbo inlets, charge pipes, uprated intercoolers and heat exchangers, and carbon fibre exterior styling. The restrictive factory downpipe is the first thing holding these cars back - freeing it drops backpressure, sharpens turbo spool and unlocks the power a Stage 2 tune is already asking for.
