I need to get myself on a US dyno as you guys get HP for free over there..
Yeah, seems a bit far fetched huh? Hopefully dyno's come out to support that, but in any case, can we request for the logo to be in white?

Hey, once I get the dyno numbers I'll post it up. I'm at Comic Con right now, so it won't be until I get back next week.

I think you're a little aggressive on 500 hp. Stock dyno on my car started at 258 whp, so those numbers after mods would put me close to 380/390 whp.

Well in that case then you had a very sick stock car surely? Either way you look at it, on a reliable dyno (or just plain common sense), you aint going to see 130+bhp gains from those mods on this engine IMO... No chance!!!!

Just like when everyone swore up and down the motor was already wound out as far as it could stock, right? No room for improvement?

I think I'll believe the results I receive.

I've personally never thought that to be honest and I think there is a lot to come from this engine. Just from experience and seeing a lot of other people making wild claims, I have never seen any evidence of these sort of gains from those mods.
If you want to drive around thinking you have that sort of power under your right foot then fair play to you. I am more the opposite and like to keep my feet on the ground.
If you are running that sort of power from those mods then you are likely to be running low to mid 11's on the 1/4 mile. Until I see this happen then I shall remain sceptical... sorry.

I assume you at least have a flash tune to take advantage of these mods? Please don't tell me you are running a box?

Definitely not a box. I'm flash tuned through OETuning.

Ok cool.. Well I look forward to seeing some track times or Vbox figures to back up the dyno results (should it make the power you hope for).

Hey guys,

Thanks for the interest in our intake system! We recently joined the forum as vendors and we are very excited to start shipping out our CLA45 AMG intake pre-sale orders.

We just recently posted up some information regarding our intake (for those who missed it), which is covered at the link below.

https://mbworld.org/forums/cla45-amg...mg-intake.html

Once I get dyno numbers, I'll show it to the forums. Mind you i now have the Benzworks down pipe, OETuning ECU and the Mishimoto intake. I'll take a picture and put it up here.
Looking forward to your dyno results! We saw 18-20 whp gains at the top end during our tests. This was on an otherwise stock vehicle. Interested to see the gains with the additional modifications.

Thanks for posting up these images!

What did you end up doing with the 2 sets of wire harnesses that were on the right side of stock intake box? Just hanging loose now? I know it's not going to hurt them, just would be nice if they had a way to incorporate clipping them on somehow with a bracket or something. I've asked them with no response. TIA

Correct, we had two final prototypes installed on customer vehicles for testing purposes. Our next batch of units will be arriving around the middle of August, which is when our pre-sale orders will ship out.

Correct!

Looking forward to your results. Actual output is going to vary based on the dyno, our test vehicle was making around 335 whp in stock form on our Dynojet. Our intake brought maximum power to over 350 whp.

Feel free to follow-up with any questions about our intake system!

Thanks
-John
