Akrapovic Mercedes‑AMG CLA 45 Evolution Line S-ME/T/6H
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 / CLA 45 S (C118/X118) Evolution Line S-ME/T/6H exhaust system is a pinnacle of performance tuning, meticulously designed to replace both the base and performance exhausts on the Mercedes‑AMG CLA 45 and CLA 45 S. Crafted from ultra‑light titanium alloys and finished with hand‑crafted matte carbon‑fibre tailpipes, this system is engineered to dramatically reduce weight—saving over 45% compared to stock—while delivering enhanced power, torque, and a dynamic, customizable exhaust note.
Precision Engineering and Superior Materials
Utilizing specially developed high‑grade lightweight titanium, every component of the Evolution Line is designed for maximum efficiency and durability. Critical parts, including the exhaust valve housings, are cast in Akrapovic’s in‑house foundry, ensuring unmatched quality and precision. High‑grade stainless‑steel link pipes are employed to optimize exhaust gas flow, lowering back pressure and improving engine breathing. The result is a system that not only boosts performance throughout the rev range but also offers significant improvements in throttle response and overall vehicle dynamics.
Dynamic Dual‑Valve Technology and Acoustic Tuning
The system features an innovative dual‑valve design—one valve per side behind the rear mufflers—that is precisely calibrated to tailor the exhaust note. Controlled through an in‑house developed Control Kit that integrates with AMG Dynamic Select, the valves allow drivers to choose between multiple sound settings. Whether you select the Comfort mode for a smooth, refined tone or shift into a sporty setting for deep mid‑range and high‑frequency notes that provide exhilarating crackles during over‑run, the Evolution Line delivers a truly immersive auditory experience without any unwanted drone.
Striking Visual Impact of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 / CLA 45 S (C118/X118) Evolution Line S-ME/T/6H
Aesthetics are paramount in the Evolution Line design. The system is finished with two pairs of matte carbon‑fibre tailpipes featuring titanium inner components, creating a distinctive round design that enhances the rear profile of your vehicle. These tailpipes are not only lightweight but are also designed to integrate flawlessly with an optional carbon‑fibre diffuser and mirror caps, providing an eye‑catching finish that underscores the car’s high‑performance character.
Seamless Integration and Installation
Engineered as a plug‑and‑play cat‑back system, the Evolution Line S-ME/T/6H installs directly onto the stock downpipes without the need to remove the catalytic converters, ensuring that your emissions system remains intact. The system is ECE type approved for vehicles equipped with an Otto/gasoline particulate filter, making it compliant where applicable. Installation is straightforward and typically requires about 300 minutes by a qualified technician.
Ordering and Fitment Information of Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 / CLA 45 S (C118/X118) Evolution Line S-ME/T/6H
Due to packaging constraints, the Evolution Line system is split into two part numbers—MTP‑ME/T/6H and L‑ME/SS/3—both of which must be ordered together to receive the complete system.
Fitment Notice: This system is designed exclusively for non‑OPF vehicles.
Control Kit Requirement: For vehicles produced after the mid‑2023 facelift, the mandatory Control Kit P‑HF1528 must be ordered.
Additionally, if replacing the Mercedes‑AMG performance exhaust system, the Valve Actuator Kit (P‑HF985) is not required; however, it is mandatory for cars equipped with the basic Mercedes‑AMG exhaust system. The optional Akrapovic Sound Kit (P‑HF949) is recommended for full control over exhaust sound regulation if the car is not already equipped with an exhaust valve button.
