Performance Air Intake System for Mercedes-Benz CLA (2013–2017) – M270 Turbo Power & Sound

Upgrade your CLA’s induction system with this precision-engineered Performance Air Intake System. Specifically developed for the turbocharged M270 engine family, this system replaces the restrictive factory air box to provide a high-volume, streamlined path for air to reach the turbocharger. This optimization results in sharper throttle response and an improved acceleration feel, while enhancing the turbo spool sound for a more aggressive and engaging driving experience.

This intake is designed for drivers seeking a functional performance upgrade that maintains the sleek luxury and mechanical reliability of the CLA platform. The system utilizes a high-performance washable filtration media and premium black hardware to ensure the engine receives a consistent supply of cooler, denser air. By reducing intake restriction, this kit allows the turbocharged engine to breathe more freely, delivering noticeable gains in horsepower and torque with an OEM+ aesthetic.
