Arma Intake review
So far the Arma intake has been the best aftermarket experience for my CLA45. I contacted Arma a month ago and asked them if they had an intake ready. They informed me that it would be around a month, I wasn't going to do this "PRE ORDER" bull**** that most of the vendors do so I told them to email me when it was ready.
Three weeks later I received an email from Arma saying the intake was going to ship on friday if I wanted it. I sent them payment and I had a tracking number friday morning. The intake arrived in three days. Arma followed up with me to make sure that I received the email and offered installation help. They even sent me a FREE HAT.
- The intake box looks so sexy. I cant get enough carbon fiber in my life.
- Instructions were spot on and very helpful.
- Fitment of this intake was legit perfect.
- Stock intake has a cheap paper filter. The Arma filter is very free flowing and bigger.
- Sound - Now you can hear the turbo spool up and it is loud when you let off the throttle. This combined with my IPE exhaust sounds great!
-Performance - I had to run the car a few times but every time I did the car seemed to get faster. I felt like the car reved faster and had a bit more top end. I assume I need to put a few miles on the car to get the full effect.

Thank you Arma for my first great vendor experience with my CLA!

CLA 45 AMG
just got this email from arma
our R&D Team upgrade the material of intake part because we found the engine temperature for BENZ A45 is a little higher when driving. Although the original part had no problems on performance and good for driving, we still want to make the best quality for our customers. Therefore, we will send you the new part for replacement next week.
i still did not put mine in the car because its still at MB i should have it back today or tomorrow

i just love it the sound that comes out when the valve is open and it connects to the obd and opens the exhaust valve to work with the variable air filter
