This system drops the whole lower box and panel filter and replaces them with a billet adapter that bolts to the original mounting points, carrying a cone filter with several times the surface area. It sits down in the factory airbox cavity, so it still draws from the cold-air feed at the front of the bay rather than pulling hot air off the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCNC One-Piece Aluminium Adapter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMachined from a single billet rather than cast or welded, so there are no joints to leak and the sealing face stays true against the turbo inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge High-Flow Cone Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar more filtration surface than the factory flat panel, and washable and reusable rather than a service item you keep buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeeps the Factory Cold-Air Feed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe filter sits in the original airbox cavity, fed by the factory duct, so intake temperatures stay where they should be instead of climbing with engine bay heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAggressive Induction Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA much more present intake and turbo note under acceleration, with the blow-off and spool noise the factory box muffles almost completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect Bolt-On Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMounts at the factory locations with no cutting or fabrication, and the standard airbox can be refitted at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLighter Than Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReplaces a large moulded plastic assembly with a compact adapter and filter.\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\u003eMore surface area than the factory panel filter, and it never needs replacing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA markedly better induction and turbo note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully reversible — nothing is cut and nothing is discarded\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\u003eMercedes-AMG GLA45 - X156 (2014-2019)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.0L Turbocharged M133 Engine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOpen Filter or Enclosed Airbox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the open filter version, and it is the most direct route to more airflow and more induction noise for the money. If you would rather have the filter fully enclosed in a sealed carbon fibre box — quieter, and with the intake charge shielded from engine bay heat — our Carbon Fibre Performance Air Intake for the same cars is the alternative. Both use the factory cold-air feed and both are fully reversible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ECU tune is recommended to realise the full benefit of the intake, though the induction note and throttle response improve without one. The filter is washable and reusable and should be cleaned and re-oiled at normal service intervals.\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.
