The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate (S205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate (S205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1 exhaust system is a serious performance upgrade designed to replace both the base and performance exhausts on the Mercedes‑AMG C 63 and C 63 S. Perfectly formed using specially developed ultra‑lightweight titanium alloys, this system has been engineered for drivers who demand not only significant performance gains but also a truly immersive aural experience. Finished with hand‑crafted matte carbon‑fibre tailpipes, the Evolution Line delivers an impressive combination of reduced weight, increased power, and a customizable exhaust note that enhances every driving mode.
Innovative Engineering and Materials
Constructed entirely from high‑grade lightweight titanium alloys, the Evolution Line system is the product of advanced engineering and meticulous design. Critical components such as the valve housings and intricate parts are cast in Akrapovic’s in‑house foundry, ensuring exceptional precision and quality control. The system features an active X connection and an additional pair of exhaust valves located behind the rear mufflers. These dual valves have been specifically designed to provide optimal control of exhaust gas flow, thereby reducing back pressure and maximizing engine efficiency. The result is not only a performance boost but also an exhaust note that is both deep and refined.
Complementing the titanium structure are hand‑crafted matte carbon‑fibre tailpipes that add a striking visual element to the rear of the vehicle. The tailpipes, with their distinctive round design and titanium inner parts, are engineered to seamlessly integrate with an optional carbon‑fibre diffuser, further enhancing the vehicle’s aesthetics.
Dynamic Acoustic Tuning
The Evolution Line is tuned to deliver an extraordinary sound experience, offering two distinct sound characteristics and three different driving sound settings. Through extensive testing and development, Akrapovic’s sound engineers have calibrated the system to produce a deep, sporty, and higher‑frequency V8 sound that is reminiscent of a muscle car, yet perfectly balanced for the sophisticated nature of the Mercedes‑AMG C 63 Estate’s twin‑turbocharged engine.
In Comfort mode, the exhaust produces a smooth, relaxing tone that enhances the natural engine sound without any unwanted drone—ideal for long journeys. When switching to Sport mode, the system reveals deep mid‑range tones that hint at the engine’s true potential. In the most aggressive setting, often referred to as Cupra mode (or a similar high‑performance option), the exhaust unleashes a powerful, race‑inspired roar that elevates the gear‑shifting experience with amazing crackles at over‑run. For ultimate control, the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit controller allows occupants to choose the desired exhaust tone regardless of the vehicle’s preset mode.
Performance Gains and Weight Savings
One of the most compelling advantages of the Evolution Line is its ability to dramatically improve performance while substantially reducing weight. In back‑to‑back runs on the Akrapovic dyno against a Ferrari F8 Tributo with a standard stock exhaust, the system achieved an increase in maximum power by +5.9 kW at around 2000 rpm, and an impressive torque gain of +27.9 Nm at 1850 rpm. These gains translate into improved throttle response, enhanced mid‑range performance, and a more dynamic overall driving experience.
Moreover, the system offers a huge weight savings—reducing the stock weight from 28.8 kg to just 15.8 kg, which is a reduction of 13.0 kg or 45.1%. This significant decrease in weight not only boosts the power‑to‑weight ratio but also improves vehicle agility and handling, making the C 63 Estate more responsive on both track and road.
Seamless Integration and Installation
The Evolution Line MTP‑ME/T/2H/1 is designed as a plug‑and‑play cat‑back system that fits directly onto the Mercedes‑AMG C 63 Estate’s stock downpipes without the need to remove the catalytic converters. This ensures that emissions control remains intact, and no remapping of the ECU is required for standard installations. Thanks to its simple, straightforward design, the installation process typically takes around 300 minutes when performed by a qualified technician.
Due to packaging requirements, the EVO system is split into two codes. It is essential to order both part numbers (MTP‑ME/T/2H/1 and E‑ME/T/3) to receive the complete system.
Fitment and Optional Upgrades of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate (S205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1
This system is designed exclusively for vehicles without an Otto particulate filter (OPF); it does not fit on OPF‑equipped models. Depending on your current exhaust setup, additional components such as the Valve Actuator Kit (P‑HF985) may be mandatory if your car is equipped with the basic Mercedes‑AMG exhaust system rather than the performance variant. The optional Akrapovic Sound Kit (P‑HF949) is highly recommended to achieve full control over exhaust sound regulation, though it is not needed if your vehicle already includes an exhaust valve button inside the cabin.
Conclusion of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate (S205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate (S205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1 exhaust system is a testament to cutting‑edge engineering and superior craftsmanship. By replacing both base and performance exhaust systems with a lightweight, titanium‑based design, it delivers significant power and torque gains, an impressive 45.1% reduction in weight, and a dynamic, customizable exhaust note that adapts to every driving mode. Whether you seek a refined tone for everyday comfort or an aggressive roar for high‑performance driving, the Evolution Line provides a remarkable upgrade that enhances both the performance and visual appeal of your Mercedes‑AMG C 63 Estate. Embrace the future of exhaust technology with Akrapovic and experience an exhilarating blend of power, precision, and unparalleled sound.
