Mercedes A35 JB4 Tuning Box

By adjusting the software that controls engine performance, an ECU tuning box can significantly increase horsepower and torque, often improving fuel efficiency as well.

A tuning box will improve performance with no visible change but you’ll notice it under your right foot, and the best thing is you can remove it when you come to sell the vehicle.

Air Intake System

Upgrading the air intake can improve engine efficiency and power by allowing more air, and therefore more oxygen, into the combustion chamber. One of the best benefits of adding aftermarket intake to your A35 is the improved induction sound that comes with it.

Exhaust System Upgrades

A high-performance exhaust system not only improves exhaust flow, which can increase power, but also gives the car a more aggressive, deeper exhaust note.

Many of our aftermarket exhausts come with different style exhaust tips to give you an even more individual finish, these could include wider tips or even cerakote tips to give you a real darker style.

Please note, the A35 comes in both hatchback and saloon shape, so please ensure you purchase an exhaust that fits your specific bodystyle.

Suspension Upgrades

Lowering the car with sports springs or coilovers improves handling by lowering the center of gravity and reducing body roll making your A35 feel much more planted. Aesthetically, it gives the vehicle a more aggressive stance by reducing the gap between the tires and wheel arches.
