How to install Mercedes A45 CLA45 intake with before and after audio

Here I go through the step by step installation process of the aftermarket air intake for the CLA45 or A45 Mercedes Benz AMG. I also run through the before and after audio to show you what the car sounds like.

Great video! when's the downpipe video coming?

[@reconbullet5449]

Do a downpipe, that turbo will sound more insane and you'll get an additional 10-15hp

[@sochooned5213]

I’ve got one ready to go 👌🏾

[@itsnimitz8078]

Hey, I know this is old but what downpipe did you go with? I just ordered my Alpha intake and wanna do downpipes next, thanks!@@sochooned5213

Hey bro where you get the intake can u send a link all the ones I've seen are way too expensive

[@sochooned5213]

Hey bro, you can get it from justjap.com.au looks like it’s gone up about $80 since last month but still pretty affordable

[@abdulelarif7716]

@@sochooned5213 found it thanks, does it feel better ever since you put it on ? I'm thinking about getting one sounds good thats for sure

[@sochooned5213]

Yeah It feels like there is more more torque mid range and that the engine is definitely breathing more, the thing that I would say is most drastic is the sound, you can actually hear the turbo spoool and blow off, it actually makes the car sound like it’s heavily worked..

[@deltaracecraftsolutions]

That size difference in the filter inlet diameter does not matter because the turbo inlet diameter remains the same.

[@sochooned5213]

Yeah that would be the case if the old inlet was the same size as the turbo inlet, however it is significantly smaller, therefore increasing its sized certainly does increase airflow ✌🏽

[@deltaracecraftsolutions]

@@sochooned5213 That's not how it works lol. Don;t you think that the AMG engineers would've done that if that were the case? At the time it was released, they just came out with the most powerful 2L 4-cyl engine, that other companies are still trying to catch up to this day, If they could squeeze more power by using a larger filter inlet, they would've done that. None of these aftermarket companies have invested R&D like AMG did, I would put my money on AMG.

[@deltaracecraftsolutions]

@@sochooned5213 btw, the turbo inlet is smaller than the intake filter inlet, Just look at the ends of the OEM intake boot and you'll see.

[@deltaracecraftsolutions]

@@sochooned5213 RENNtech didn't bother developing an intake kit for the M133 and just went with a BMC filter because they realized there is no point. Also, the OEM boot is designed to trap some of the oil, unlike the smooth silicone boots used by other aftermarket companies.

[@fasttlife1807]

What year is your car?

[@sochooned5213]

2014

[@VladimirMicic]

It's certainly a real AMG. As a matter of fact it will smoke much bigger engines, and much more expensive cars.
