So I've been chatting with HG Motorsports for awhile about the possibility of CLA250 parts fitting our GLA250's...

Today we installed the HG Motorsports intake and Engine damper, and I have to say, they are worth every penny so far. Plus the HG crew seem like a real pleasure to work with, and have been very easy to contact and dialogue with.
With the engine damper, the driveline feels more stable, and flooring it from a 'dig' doesn't feel so sloshy anymore. Plus with the little bit of power from the intake combined, the GLA is a LOT more fun to drive! The power band feels MUCH more consistent now, I even drove my wife's stock GLA250 to compare post-install to eliminate the placebo-effect.
A bit about the intake: it looks and feels like a high-quality item. Fitment is perfect, and install is not overly complicated. The engine damper took less time to install than changing my headlight bulbs! lol
Next, I am looking into an ECU tune. The few that are available are supposed to raise the torque to around 310ft/lbs torque >
HG Motorsports does have tuning for the CLA250 and the A250, but there are some harness differences to the ECU still being looked at. I will keep you all posted.
