Evolution Line Titanium Akrapovic Exhaust for Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 / CLA 45 S C118/X118 2020-2022

Description

Designed for a breathtaking sensory experience, this beautifully crafted, lightweight exhaust system is crafted from high-grade lightweight titanium and features an eye-catching design with two pairs of titanium and carbon fibre tailpipes for a stunning visual impact. A specially designed exhaust valve – with its housing cast in the in-house foundry – regulates the sound character and is adjusted using the electronics of the in-house developed control kit, allowing the driver to select the level of sportiness with AMG Dynamic Select. The system is an aural delight for all, with settings ranging from the comfortable everyday car mode, with a soft sound that enhances the car’s engine sounds without any discomfort or buzzing, to a sporty acoustic experience with deep mid-range tones and a rich high-frequency sound at the top of the rev range to elevate the gearshift experience, delivering astonishing crackles when revving. A different design, construction and configuration from the stock system means the exhaust saves weight and optimises the engine’s power and torque levels, increasing both across the rev range, with increases of 6,4 kW at 6 rpm and 400 Nm at 9,1 rpm, as measured in back-to-back tests on the Akrapovič test bench against a Mercedes-AMG A 6 using a standard stock exhaust. The exhaust gas flow path offers tuning potential, which can be further enhanced with the addition of the optional downpipe (SS).

The system is ECE approved for cars equipped with an Otto/petrol particulate filter, but when installing the optional Downpipe (SS), the ECE approval for the Evolution Line exhaust system (Titanium) is no longer valid.

When ordering, please note that both part numbers, S-ME/T/6H and L-ME/SS/3, must be ordered as the system is split into two codes for packaging reasons.

Fitting notice: This product can be fitted to CLA 45 S Shooting Brake models.

Please note that you must order the mandatory inspection kit for vehicles after facelift P-HF1528.
