Akrapovic Exhaust System for Mercedes AMG CLA35 (C118, X118)

Providing a stunning sensory experience, this lightweight exhaust is beautifully crafted from high-grade titanium and finished with an eye-catching design of two pairs of titanium and carbon-fibre tailpipes. The exhaust valve – with its housing cast in the in-house foundry – gives the sound from the exhaust a richer and higher frequency than stock, especially when shifting through the gears, all allied to a smooth sound that enhances the car’s engine tones without any discomfort or drone for the occupants. A specially designed perforated manifold tube on the valve side eliminates streaming without any compromise to the pressure pulse distribution, thus offering a stronger sound. Lighter than stock due to the use of titanium and a different configuration, the design and construction of the exhaust leads to optimization in the power and torque levels throughout the entire rev range. The optimized flow path of exhaust gases provides greater tuning potential, something that can be realized further with the addition of the optional Evolution Link pipe set (SS). 

When installing the optional Evolution Link pipe set (SS), the ECE type approval for the Slip-On Line (Titanium) exhaust system is no longer valid. 

The ECE type-approval certificate is valid until 2023 (including model year 2023, pre-facelift vehicles), equipped with an Otto/gasoline particulate filter.

For installing the Slip-On system, the stock exhaust system must be cut. Please read the instructions carefully before starting installation.

Fitment notice: This product can be fitted on CLA 35 S Shooting Brake models.

Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) was tested and developed together with the Slip-On Line (Titanium) system.

Offering an ideal upgrade to further the tuning potential of the car, the link pipe set is primarily designed for track use and will release the sporty sound that the engine has to offer. With the elimination of the OPF, the sound levels are increased and the frequency content is improved, providing increased sound, leading to an exhilarating tone, with cracking and burbling being an enjoyable aural assault on over-run. The change in performance is a noticeable factor when compared to the stock exhaust system configuration, and the difference is perceptible from the driver’s and passenger’s point of view.

When installing the Akrapovic Evolution Link pipe set, which is developed for use on closed tracks only, remapping the ECU is mandatory in order to prevent potential “check engine light” warning signals.
