Overview
The A45/CLA45/GLA45 AMG's factory side-mount intercooler manages stock cooling demands adequately but runs out of capacity quickly under tuned conditions or sustained hard driving. This side mount intercooler provides a larger aluminium core for improved cooling capacity.
Why Upgrade?
- Larger core capacity than the factory side-mount intercooler
- Better heat soak resistance during repeated performance driving
- Direct fit aluminium construction
- More consistent intake temperatures under sustained boost
Built for the Drive, Not Just the Dyno
Heat soak is the silent killer of repeated hard pulls — the first run feels great, the third feels flat, and the factory core is usually why. A larger side-mount core trades nothing for more raw cooling surface, which matters more on a track day than it ever will on a spec sheet.
