Alpha Performance Carbon Fiber Performance Intake for Mercedes-Benz A45/CLA45/GLA45 AMG
Our engineering team immediately identified that the factory intake system was significantly restrictive and solved this issue by introducing a smoother path to a larger diameter filter. By upgrading from the restrictive 2.6-inch factory inlet filter to a robust 4-inch design, we have drastically reduced high pressure drops. This is clear evidence that the factory intake filter on your 2.0L M133 turbo engine is hindering airflow. You can feel a power increase of over 20HP simply by installing this air intake upgrade!
To cut costs, your 2.0L M133 turbo engine is equipped with a corrugated plastic air duct, which disrupts airflow. Furthermore, there is a large support "pillar" in the center to brace the weak plastic, which also hinders output. The Alpha carbon fiber cold air intake duct eliminates these restrictions and properly delivers the air your engine requires!
Many aftermarket intakes feature an open filter design, which actually draws in hot air from the engine bay, causing a drop in power. With Alpha's sealed airbox and inlet design, you can maximize the intake of cold ambient air and unleash the power as you climb through the gears of the Speedshift DCT 7-speed transmission.
CNC-machined billet aluminum construction and an anodized coating ensure both appearance and performance over the long term. The air filter mounting surface provides a smooth and solid seal. Adopting a high-flow synthetic dry media filter means you will never have to buy a replacement paper factory filter again. Simply blow out dust from the filter periodically with compressed air, or wash and dry it. No oil or special chemicals are required.

Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At Shaftoya Shopping Site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Compatibility Confirmation
Our entire product database is based on North American (USDM) vehicles; please confirm whether or not parts can be installed on Japanese (JDM) vehicles before ordering. (Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure if a listed product is compatible with your vehicle. Our support team will be happy to look into it for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by selecting the model year, manufacturer, and vehicle model in the tabs on our top page, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese model vehicles without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of checkout. Estimates for shipping can be calculated automatically by entering your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
All products are generally shipped internationally from our U.S. warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping in Japan, international shipping takes approximately 7 to 14 days, so please order with time to spare. If you are in a hurry, please inquire about delivery times in advance. All products are transported via air freight. They are not shipped via sea freight.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compliance
Products we handle are basically all designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with the "Japanese Vehicle Inspection System," and we cannot provide documents such as strength calculation reports for Japanese vehicle inspections. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please inspect the contents immediately upon arrival. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging or the product itself. We will only accept returns, refunds, or replacements for products with shipping damage, defective products, or products different from what was ordered if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Please understand that for products sold through us, warranty support will be provided "only through us." We do not provide support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
