MERCEDES-AMG A 45 (W177)

Mercedes-Benz A 45 S AMG 4MATIC + is a whole new breed in automotive world. It created a hyper hatch class with no rival to match it’s performance! And so Akrapovič engineered an exhaust system to match the sound with the performance! 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 – controls the personality of the sound and is controlled with our own valve regulation through in-house developed Control Kit electronics. It enables the driver to select the level of sportiness through AMG Dynamic Select from comfortable every day car with smooth sound that enhances the car’s engine tones without any discomfort or drone for the occupants to race ready acoustic experience with deep midrange tones and rich, high frequency sound at the top of the rev range to elevate gear shifting experience with amazing crackles at over-run!

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 with 6.4 kW at 6400 RPM more and with 9.1 Nm at 6700 RPM more. The optimized flow path of exhaust gases provides greater tuning potential, something that can be realized further with the addition of the optional Downpipe set (SS).

ECE type approval for cars equipped with Otto/gasoline particulate filter.

When installing the optional Downpipe set (SS), the ECE type approval for the Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system is no longer valid.

Please be aware that both part numbers: S-ME/TI/13H and L-ME/SS/3 have to be ordered! The system is splitted in 2 codes only because of packaging issues.

Downpipe w Cat (SS) was tested and developed together with Evolution Line (Titanium) system.

Offering an ideal upgrade to further the tuning potential of the car, the downpipe is primarily designed for track use and will release the most sporty and aggressive sound that the engine has to offer. Downpipe is equipped with high-flow 200 CPSI sport catalytic converter and eliminates the OPF which opens up a whole new sensory experience the moment you put your foot down! Sound level is much increased and is accompanied with deep and powerful sound in low and mid rev range and develops into a pure race derived acoustic ecstasy in high rev range you simply can’t get enough of! Every gear shift is full of crackling drama and the exhilarating tone is accompanied with an addictive burbling on every over-run in the sportiest settings! Yet despite being a race derived system it retains all of the comfort when you want it to in Comfort mode or at highway cruising with no unwanted sounds or drone in the cabin. 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 Akrapovič Downpipe remapping the ECU is mandatory in order to prevent potential “check engine light” warning signals.

The optional Akrapovič Sound Kit enables owners of selected Akrapovič car exhausts to control the sound of the system from the cockpit of their machine. Using Akrapovič technology, drivers can easily switch between the quiet mode and a sportier sound. With the use of a receiver (already included in evolution system) to drive the actuators that open or close the valves at the end of the exhaust system, drivers can use the Sound Remote Controller or the new smartphone app (for iOS and Android) to regulate the valves.

With the use of the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit, the ECE type approval is no longer valid.
