*Product Release* ALPHA Performance Billet GLA45 AMG Intake

The very first Alpha Performance component for the Mercedes-Benz 45 Series AMG (A/GLA/CLA45) lineup is now available with more to come in the near future! We began with an obvious hindrance to the performance of the 45 AMG series platforms which happens to be the stock intake air filter assembly.




The factory intake was designed conservatively in an effort to muffle intake and turbo sound. Unfortunately, in order to do so, inside diameter of the inlet is reduced to a suffocating 2.6 inches! The Alpha 45 Series AMG Performance Intake System widens the inlet to 4 inches using a CNC billet aluminum adapter flange while offering a pleasant, more aggressive intake sound that you’ll actually appreciate.


Our Alpha 4″ filter inlet compared to the stock 2.6″ filter inlet


Clear anodized CNC billet aluminum intake inlet


Synthetic high-flow dry media filter outperforms comparable leading brand with no oiling required.


Completely washable and extremely durable, our synthetic high-flow dry media filter was designed to last the lifetime of your 45 Series AMG. It also requires no oiling and provides greater flow efficiency and filtration than the comparable leading brand. By simply installing this Alpha air intake upgrade, you can expect a 20+ horsepower increase with no additional mods necessary!


20+ horsepower gains with the Alpha Performance Intake alone
Exclusive Benefits

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 computer tuning needed

Applications

X156 2014+ Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG
W176 2013+ Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG

$299.95 http://www.amsperfor...ake-system.html

Here is the actual dyno chart from the test. The high number for the after test and the low number for the stock test were thrown out to show a real world gain. As you can see our engine HP chart posted above is very conservative as this dyno shows over 25whp in some areas.

they already said they won't do a group buy since it is aggressively priced as is.

I agree, $299 is a fair price, no need for a sale or GB. Priced below the market average.

Thanks AMS!
