The Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A-Class W176 A45 and W117 CLA45 AMG M133 Air Intake is a game-changing upgrade for anyone looking to elevate the performance of their turbocharged engine. Specifically designed for these models, this air intake improves airflow to the engine, giving it more of the clean, cool air it needs to perform at its best. Whether you’re looking for better throttle response or a noticeable increase in horsepower, this air intake offers exactly that.

Crafted from high-quality materials, the Alpha Competition air intake is built to withstand the demands of performance driving. Its larger diameter and smoother design allow for a more efficient flow of air to the turbocharger, which helps the engine breathe easier and reduces turbo lag. This smoother path results in quicker spool times, improved boost delivery, and a more dynamic driving experience overall. The end result is more power across the RPM range, making your A45 AMG or CLA45 AMG feel more responsive and fun to drive.

This air intake also works wonders in preventing common issues like heat soak. By directing cooler air into the engine, it ensures the intake temperatures stay in check, preventing performance losses that typically occur when the engine gets too hot. This helps maintain consistent power delivery, especially during extended high-performance driving, such as on the track or during spirited drives.

Installation is straightforward. The Alpha Competition air intake is designed to fit directly into the factory mounting points, so there’s no need for major modifications. You can either retain your stock setup or choose to upgrade with better hoses and clamps for added durability. This easy installation process means you can enhance your vehicle’s performance without a lot of hassle.

If you’re looking to unlock more power and efficiency from your A45 AMG or CLA45 AMG, the Alpha Competition air intake is a must-have. It keeps your engine cooler, improves airflow, and boosts performance—all while maintaining the reliability and ease of installation you need for an enjoyable driving experience.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Brand	Alpha Competition

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
