This system replaces it with a carbon fibre enclosure, a carbon velocity stack and a large high-flow cone filter, feeding the turbocharger directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Carbon Fibre Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarbon fibre airbox lid, velocity stack and engine bay heat shield panel, finished in a gloss twill weave under a UV-protected clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Flow Cone Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA large cone filter with far more surface area than the factory flat panel, washable and reusable rather than a service item you keep replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosed Airbox Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe filter sits inside a sealed carbon enclosure rather than open to the engine bay, so it draws cool air from the factory inlet instead of hot air off the exhaust side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Heat Shield Panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA shaped carbon panel separating the intake from the engine bay, cutting heat soak into the filter on a hot day or after a hard run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAggressive Induction Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA far more present intake and turbo note under acceleration, with the refinement kept where you want it at a cruise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Bolt-On Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMounts to the factory airbox locations with no cutting or fabrication, and no permanent change to the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Benefits:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved airflow for increased horsepower and torque\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharper throttle response and faster turbo spool\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooler intake temperatures and less heat soak on a hot day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighter than the factory plastic airbox assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA markedly better induction and turbo note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA visible upgrade every time the bonnet goes up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercedes-AMG A45 - W176 (2013-2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercedes-AMG CLA45 - C117 (2013-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.0L Turbocharged M133 Engine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Carbon Fibre:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon fibre is light, stiff and far less conductive than the plastic and metal it replaces, which is exactly what an intake wants — it holds its shape, it does not radiate engine bay heat into the filter, and it looks the part. On a car with an engine bay as tightly packed as the A45 and CLA45, keeping heat out of the intake is a real gain rather than a styling claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Proven Performance Parts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe specialise in high-performance parts for European vehicles — Volkswagen GTI \u0026amp; R models, Audi S\/RS platforms, BMW M cars and Mercedes-AMG.
