Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Evolution Line overview
The Akrapovic Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 / GLE 63 S (W167) Evolution Line S-ME/T/7H/1 is a high-grade lightweight titanium exhaust system designed for Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 and GLE 63 S models from the W167 generation.
Built as an Evolution Line Titanium system, it combines a fully sandblasted titanium exterior, hand-crafted carbon-fibre tailpipes, valve-controlled sound management, and measured Akrapovič dyno performance data.
Titanium construction and carbon-fibre tailpipes
This Evolution Line exhaust is made from high-grade lightweight titanium and delivers a 34.2% weight saving over the AMG Performance exhaust system. The exterior is fully sandblasted and completed with a new tailpipe design made from hand-crafted carbon fibre with a titanium inner sleeve.
The housings for the valves, the active X-connection, and the reinforcement, or central pillar, of the tailpipes are cast in Akrapovič’s in-house foundry.
Valve-controlled sound with active X-connection
The system features three exhaust valves operated by a specially developed control kit. One valve is positioned on either side of the muffler, with an additional valve in the active X-connection in the link pipe.
This setup is designed to create a deep, distinctive tone with a full-bodied sound at idle. As revs rise, the exhaust produces a well-defined burble, leading to a higher-frequency sound with a sportier character at higher rpm.
No remapping is needed on installation.
Performance and weight data
Akrapovič dyno testing against a Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupé with an AMG Performance exhaust system recorded power gains of 6.3 kW / 8.6 hp at 2,800 rpm and a torque increase of 21.3 Nm at 2,800 rpm.
The Akrapovič system weighs 17.7 kg, compared with 26.9 kg for the AMG Performance exhaust system. This gives a weight reduction of 9.2 kg, equal to 34.2%.
