    Mishimoto Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG Performance Air Intake

    We've been working on this Mercedes cold-air intake for months, and finally we have arrived at our last test fit. After constructing a final prototype of our Mercedes air intake, we phoned our test vehicle owner and wrangled him into coming down to our headquarters for another day. A big "thank you" to the vehicle owner for the use of his CLA!

    Installed Shots

    Everything fit into place perfectly and looks fantastic! First, take a look at our final silicone intake inlet hose and pressure-sensor flange.

    Inlet Tube Test Component Fabrication

    Time for the fun part, dyno testing! Before putting the AMG on our dyno, we needed to make a quick adjustment for our tests. As mentioned in our previous posts, we created the inlet tube with our 3D printer for this intake, but with the close proximity of this component to the exhaust and turbocharger, we were a bit concerned with it melting or deforming during our dyno runs. We decided to fabricate an aluminum prototype to better handle the heat.

    We started with some aluminum pipe and our template 3D-printed design.

    We put out feelers on a variety of forums and through our vendor channel, and we received numerous offers from vehicle owners. We eventually worked out a schedule with the gracious owner of this vehicle and set to work developing our first component for the AMG.
