Alpha PerformanceMercedes-Benz A45/CLA45/GLA45 AMG Carbon Fiber Performance Intake by Alpha Performance
Our engineering team immediately noticed a considerable level of restriction in the stock intake system and solved the problem by designing a smooth transition to a much larger filter. By upgrading the size of your 2.6″ factory inlet filter to a robust 4″ design, we drastically reduced the high pressure drop – a sure indicator that your stock intake filter is choking your 2.0L M133 turbocharged engine. By simply installing this air intake upgrade on its own, you’ll be rewarded with a 20+HP increase!
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. 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 Speedshift 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.

Super easy to install less than 30 minutes. Increases top end power. Stock inlet is 2.6 inches compared to 4 inches with the AMS inlet. You can now hear the air rushing into the turbo.
