2018 CLA250 Mods
Hello all! I recently picked up a 2018 cla 250 (with amg styling) and have big plans for the car in the future. I thought I would bring everyone along for the ride and get help along the way since I am new to modding cars. I will keep this thread updated and will appreciate any suggestions or guidance for my car. Thanks and remember to stay posted

Muffler delete
- got a muffler delete for $140 (didn't need additional tips since mine are integrated into the bumper)
- got a Y-pipe welded after mufflers were cut (1 hour max)
- more aggressive sound by far (minimal drone)
- occasional backfire and crackle in first gear when driving around parking lots
- great exhaust note ( looking for more volume in the future )

CLA 45 (Face lift) Diffuser install ($300 with free shipping)
- got around to finally completing the look of the car by adding a more aggressive diffuser
- Installation took about an hour (easy fitment no modification necessary)
- came with silver quad tips but chose not to black out tips (night package) to stay with the silver/black contrasting theme
- makes the rear a lot more aggressive and gives it a lower stance

Been a while since I've done anything to the car but finally got around to tinting the windows!
- 250$ final for the tint
- 35% ceramic tint on the driver and passenger windows
- 35% high performance tint on the rear two windows
- 35% high performance tint on the rear windshield
- tints came out very well (looks better in person)

Thinking of starting first performance mod with an intake. Its either going to be from HG Motorsports or AEM. AEM is a lot cheaper (325) than the HG (600) but is there any performance difference between the two?
