This system replaces it end to end: a carbon enclosure and lid, a carbon intake elbow running to the turbo inlet, a shaped carbon heat shield separating the intake from the engine bay, a carbon turbo inlet trim ring, and a large high-flow cone filter in place of the factory flat panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Carbon Fibre Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnclosure, lid, intake elbow, heat shield and turbo inlet ring are all carbon, finished in a gloss twill weave under a UV-protected clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSealed Airbox Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe filter sits inside a closed carbon box rather than open to the engine bay, so it keeps drawing from the factory cold-air duct instead of pulling hot air off the turbo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Flow Cone Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA large cone filter with several times the surface area of the factory flat panel, washable and reusable rather than a service item you keep replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon Heat Shield Panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA shaped panel between the intake and the engine bay.

The airbox cavity is a completely different shape as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis intake fits the \u003cstrong\u003eW177, C118 and H247\u003c\/strong\u003e cars.

On 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\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.
