The AMS Performance Alpha Carbon Fiber Performance Intake System (part number ALP.19.08.0004-1) is the complete Alpha intake for the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 and GLA45 with the 2.0L M133 turbo engine. It replaces the corrugated factory duct and the restrictive 2.6" filter inlet with a smooth carbon fiber duct, a carbon airbox lid and a 4" CNC billet aluminum filter adapter.
AMS found the biggest restriction in the stock intake was the 2.6" inlet to the engine. Opening it up to 4" sharply reduces pressure drop, and AMS says that change alone is worth more than 20 hp. You will also hear more turbo spool, and AMS notes reduced turbo lag.
The system keeps a sealed airbox so the turbo breathes cool outside air rather than hot engine bay air. The billet adapter is anodized for long life, the synthetic dry filter cleans with compressed air, and the carbon weave matches the AMG engine cover. No tuning is required and installation takes about 10-15 minutes with no cutting.
