2020+ Mercedes C118 CLA 45 AMG/ H247 GLA45 AMG Akrapovic Stainless Steel Downpipe with Cat (DP-ME/SS/3)

The Downpipe with Cat (SS) was tested and developed together with the Evolution Line (Titanium) exhaust system and offers an ideal upgrade to the Evolution Line (Titanium) system for further tuning. This addition is primarily designed for track use and will create a pure racing sound for the engine. Equipped with a high-flow 200 CPSI sport catalytic converter, the downpipe eliminates the OPF for a completely different sensory experience the moment the driver’s foot comes down! The sound level is noticeably increased and accompanied by a deep and powerful tone in the low and mid rev ranges, developing into a pure race-derived acoustic delight in high revs, which the occupants simply won’t get enough of! Every gear shift is full of crackling sounds, and the exhilarating tone is accompanied by an addictive burbling on every over-run in the sportiest settings. Despite being a track-oriented system, it retains all the comfort when you want it in Comfort mode, with no unwanted sounds or drone in the cabin.

When installing the Akrapovic Downpipe with Cat, remapping the ECU is mandatory to prevent potential “check engine light” warning signals.

We accept no compromises! The company’s vision was clear from the very beginning, and we have not faltered. What started as an innovative,
driven group of six, is now a modern prominent company of more than 13,000 m2 of production and commercial space and with 450 employees, all of us aware that we produce exhaust systems for customers who simply do not accept mistakes – the most demanding racing teams and riders from around the world.

Only the best is good enough for us. But the best is not just the exclusive privilege of the factory teams. Now it is available to everyone!

An exhaust system looks simple at first glance. But a closer look shows that it is a complex system that has a significant effect on the performance of a racing or a regular sports car.

The experience in racing that we acquired over many years, taught us how to combine high performance, a long-life cycle and the lightest possible weight. Our numerous world championship titles and countless international and national titles are a testament to our continuous ability to fulfil our clients’ highest expectations.

  • Lightweight
    The titanium we use for our exhaust systems is produced exclusively for us. It is three times stronger and is more heat resistant than any other titanium product on the market and 40% lighter than stainless steel. The high strength allows us to use thinner insulation while still achieving the highest quality standards. In fact, this brings our clients the decisive advantage on the race track.
  • Performance and quality
    Our goal is to make the perfect torque and the perfect power curve. Our research and development department is provided with the latest equipment, so that they are able to combine their collective know-how obtained at many race tracks and even Formula 1, and apply it in practice.

WARNING:

Please note that certain aftermarket exhaust systems may not comply with applicable California laws and regulations, and may therefore be prohibited for use on California highways or roads, or on roads or vehicles otherwise subject to emissions control requirements.

Akrapovi? exhaust systems for automobiles and motorcycles mounted downstream of the catalytic converter (also known as “cat-back systems”) are considered “replacement parts” in California by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and do not require an exemption or executive order from CARB to be sold in California. However, California prohibits the use of any aftermarket exhaust system that modifies, removes or replaces original equipment catalysts, unless CARB has issued an Executive Order as to such part or system.

Further, Akrapovi? parts or exhaust systems used or intended for use on “racing vehicles” (i.e. a competition vehicle used exclusively for competition on closed-course circuits) do not require an exemption or Executive Order from CARB to be sold in California. However, such parts are prohibited from use on California public highways or roads, even if occasionally used “off-road.”??
