What's going on A45 fans?!
Tristan here, with Vivid Racing!
Today, we wanted to showcase a GREAT intake upgrade for the A45, the Alpha Performance Air Filter and CNC Aluminum Adapter!
$349.95!
Why choose this Alpha Performance Kit?
The Alpha Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG Performance Air Filter & CNC Aluminum Adapter requires no cutting or permanent modifications to your car. It simply bolts into the sealed factory air box in 15 minutes or less.
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 Performance Air Filter & CNC Aluminum Adapter boosts power significantly! In addition, it allows you to hear the turbo spool up which is something you as an enthusiast can appreciate.
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-inch factory inlet filter to a robust 4-inch design, we drastically reduced the high pressure drop - a sure indicator that your stock intake filter is choking your 2.0L M133 turbocharged engine.
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 retaining the sealed stock air box and inlet design, cool air is still drawn from outside the engine bay - keeping your intake air temperatures cooler.
-- Features --
20+HP increase in just 15 minutes
Uses factory ducting for cooler air charge and maximum power
Reduces turbo lag
Smooth transition for best airflow
High-flow, low maintenance dry media filter (no filter oil required)
No computer tuning needed
