Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC / Cabriolet (C236 / A236) Slip-On Line S-ME/T/16H

Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Slip-On Line overview

The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC / Cabriolet (C236 / A236) Slip-On Line S-ME/T/16H is a full high-grade titanium exhaust system developed for the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC and Cabriolet applications.

This Slip-On Line Titanium system combines lightweight construction, carbon-fibre tailpipe styling, valve-controlled sound, and ECE type approval for compatible cars equipped with a gasoline particulate filter.

Titanium construction and tailpipe design

The exhaust is constructed from full high-grade titanium and finished with a twin pair of bumper-mounted tailpipes. These tailpipes feature hand-crafted carbon-fibre outer sleeves and titanium inner sleeves.

Special collectors inside both mufflers help eliminate streaming noise, while inner cones act as acoustic reflectors to partially direct sound from the tailpipes to the cabin.

Valve-controlled sound

The sound character is linearized according to engine load and rpm. At cruising speeds, the exhaust is smooth and refined. During more dynamic driving, it becomes sportier and more dramatic.

Sound is controlled by two exhaust valves and a control kit. These monitor driving parameters and precisely control valve opening and closing to create a distinctive, finely tuned sound.

Weight data

The Akrapovič Slip-On Line system weighs 11.9 kg, compared with 18.2 kg for the standard stock exhaust. This gives a weight reduction of 6.3 kg, equal to 34.6%.
