Description:
The OEM manufacturers spend a lot of time reducing turbo noise at the expense of horsepower. By letting the turbo ingest all the cold air it needs, the Alpha Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG Carbon Fiber Performance Intake System boosts power significantly. In addition, it allows you to hear the turbo spool up which is something you as an enthusiast can appreciate.
In an effort of cost savings by the manufacturer, your 2.0L M133 turbocharged engine comes equipped with a corrugated plastic air duct which disrupts airflow. To make matters worse it also features a big support “pillar” in the middle to keep the flimsy plastic from collapsing which hinders power output. With the Alpha Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake Duct, we eliminated these restrictions – supplying your engine with all the air it needs.
Often, aftermarket intake systems feature an open filter element which actually reduces horsepower by drawing hot air from within the engine bay. This may net you some power on the dyno while the hood is open and cooler air is available, but decreases performance when the hood is shut. By taking full advantage of cool outside air provided by our sealed air box and inlet design, you reap the benefit of maximum power as you fly through the gears of your Speed shift DCT 7-speed transmission.
CNC’d billet aluminum construction and an anodized coating ensure this piece will look and perform great for years to come. The smooth and strong mounting surface for the air filter ensures a tight seal. Couple that with a purpose built, synthetic high-flow dry media filter means you won’t have to buy those cheap factory paper filters down the road. Simply remove and blow off the filter with compressed air periodically or wash out and let it dry. No messy oils or special chemicals needed.
