Akrapovic Mercedes‑AMG C 63 Sedan (W205) Evolution Line MTP‑ME/T/2H/1
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Sedan (W205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1 exhaust system is a serious performance upgrade that replaces 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 is designed to deliver exceptional power, torque, and an unmatched aural experience while dramatically reducing weight by over 45%.
Advanced Construction and Materials
Every component of the Evolution Line is engineered for maximum efficiency and durability. The main parts—including the central muffler—are constructed from high‑grade lightweight titanium alloys, ensuring significant weight savings and superior heat resistance. Complex components such as the exhaust valve housings and other intricate parts are precision‑cast in Akrapovic’s in‑house foundry, guaranteeing quality and consistency throughout the system. High‑grade stainless‑steel link pipes replace the traditional single‑pipe layout, optimizing the flow of exhaust gases and reducing back pressure for enhanced engine breathing.
Innovative Acoustic Tuning of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Sedan (W205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1
The system features an active X connection and an additional pair of exhaust valves positioned behind the rear mufflers. These valves are specifically designed to tailor the exhaust sound, providing optimal control over the acoustic output. With two defined sound characteristics and three selectable driving sound settings, the Evolution Line delivers a smooth, refined tone in everyday driving and transforms into a deep, aggressive roar when the engine is pushed hard. For even greater sound flexibility, the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit controller allows the driver to choose the desired exhaust tone independently of the vehicle’s driving mode, though it is not necessary if the car already has a built‑in exhaust valve button.
Performance and Weight Savings
By reducing back pressure, the Evolution Line significantly increases engine responsiveness and overall performance. In tests conducted on the Akrapovic dyno, the system showed impressive gains over the standard exhaust:
- Maximum Power: Increased from 389.1 kW at 4500 rpm to 392.0 kW at 6150 rpm (+5.9 kW gain at 2000 rpm)
- Horsepower (Metric): Increased from 529.0 HP at 4500 rpm to 533.0 HP at 6150 rpm (+8.0 HP gain at 2000 rpm)
- Horsepower (Imperial): Increased from 521.8 HP at 4500 rpm to 525.7 HP at 6150 rpm (+7.9 HP gain at 2000 rpm)
- Maximum Torque: Improved from 713.5 Nm at 4500 rpm to 713.6 Nm at 4650 rpm (+27.9 Nm gain at 1850 rpm)
- Weight Savings: Reduced the system weight from 28.8 kg to 15.8 kg (a reduction of 13.0 kg, or 45.1%)
These performance enhancements not only boost power and torque but also contribute to a much-improved power‑to‑weight ratio, translating into sharper throttle response, enhanced agility, and an overall more dynamic driving experience.
Visual Impact and Optional Enhancements
The Evolution Line’s design is as striking as its performance. The system is finished with hand‑crafted matte carbon‑fibre tailpipes that feature a distinctive round design with titanium inner parts for an elevated visual impact. These tailpipes are meticulously crafted to integrate seamlessly with an optional carbon‑fibre diffuser, and optional carbon‑fibre mirror caps are available to further enhance the car’s appearance. This combination of materials ensures that the exhaust not only performs superbly but also adds a bold, high‑performance aesthetic to the rear of the Mercedes‑AMG C 63 Sedan.
Seamless Installation and Fitment of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Sedan (W205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1
Designed as a simple plug‑and‑play cat‑back system, the Evolution Line fits directly onto the BMW/Mercedes‑AMG C 63 Sedan’s stock downpipes without the need to remove the catalytic converters. Installation is straightforward and typically takes around 300 minutes when performed by a qualified technician.
Fitment Notice: This system does not fit on vehicles equipped with an Otto particulate filter (OPF).
Because of packaging requirements, the EVO system is split into two codes. Both part numbers, MTP‑ME/T/2H/1 and E‑ME/T/3, must be ordered together.
Ordering and Control Options
If the Evolution Line replaces the Mercedes‑AMG performance exhaust system, the Valve Actuator Kit (P‑HF985) is not needed, as the exhaust valves can be controlled from within the cabin. However, if the vehicle is equipped with the basic Mercedes‑AMG exhaust system, then the Valve Actuator Kit is mandatory. The optional Akrapovic Sound Kit (P‑HF949) is also highly recommended for complete control over exhaust sound regulation, although it is not necessary if the car already has an exhaust valve button installed in the cabin.
Conclusion of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Sedan (W205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG C 63 Sedan (W205) Evolution Line MTP-ME/T/2H/1 exhaust system is a testament to cutting‑edge engineering and premium craftsmanship. By utilizing ultra‑lightweight titanium alloys and precision‑cast components, it delivers substantial performance gains, dramatic weight savings, and a dynamic, customizable exhaust note that adapts seamlessly to every driving mode. With its striking matte carbon‑fibre tailpipes and innovative dual‑valve design, this system offers an exceptional upgrade that enhances both performance and style—making it the ultimate choice for performance enthusiasts seeking an unrivaled sensory and driving experience.
