This Titanium Charge Pipe Upgrade for the Mercedes-AMG A45 S, CLA45 S and GLA45 replaces the plastic factory pipe with mandrel-bent aerospace-grade titanium, finished in a hand heat-anodised blue and gold, and supplied complete with the diverter valve housing, silicone coupler and clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory charge pipe on these cars is plastic. It is adequate at standard boost and it is the first thing to let go once the car is tuned, usually splitting at the moulded joint under full load and leaving the engine in limp mode. Titanium removes that failure point permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a stainless pipe, titanium brings two things: it is substantially lighter, and it sheds heat far better, so the charge air arriving at the intercooler is cooler. On a car where charge temperature is the limiting factor in sustained hard driving, that is a real advantage rather than a cosmetic one - and the anodised finish happens to be the best-looking thing under the bonnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandrel-bent titanium throughout with precision TIG welding and factory-matched mounting brackets, supplied complete with every fitting needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReplaces the Plastic Factory Pipe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single most common failure on a tuned M139. A split charge pipe is an instant loss of boost and a limp-mode drive home; titanium does not split.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAerospace-Grade Titanium Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstantially lighter than both the factory pipe and a stainless replacement, with far better heat rejection and complete resistance to pressure cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLower Charge Air Temperatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitanium radiates heat away from the charge path more readily than stainless, so less heat reaches the intercooler on a hot day or a long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMachined Diverter Valve Housing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory diverter valve bolts straight into the supplied housing with no adapters and no wiring changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Kit Supplied\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharge pipe, diverter valve housing, reinforced silicone coupler and two stainless steel clamps all included - nothing further to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat-Anodised Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue and gold colour is produced by heat rather than paint or coating, so it will not chip, peel or fade with under-bonnet temperature. No two pipes are identical and the banding will vary slightly from the photographs - that variation is characteristic of anodised titanium rather than a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Bolt-On Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUses the factory mounting points and connections.
