Description
Akrapovic Evolution Line Titanium Cat-Back Exhaust for 2020 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 (X167) is built around the specified vehicle application and exhaust configuration. Its titanium construction is paired with the tailpipe and connecting-pipe arrangement listed below.
Product Details
- Manufacturer part reference: S-ME/TI/15H/1.
- Specified material: Titanium.
Construction and Engineering
- The fully sandblasted exterior is completed with a new tailpipe design constructed from hand-crafted carbon fiber with a titanium inner sleeve.
- The housings for the valves, the X-connection, and the reinforcement – or central pillar – of the tailpipes are all cast in the in-house foundry.
Performance and Sound
- This product is made from high-grade lightweight titanium for a weight saving of 34.2% over the AMG Performance exhaust system.
- Power gains of 6.3 kW (8.6 hp) and torque increases of 21.3 Nm, both at 2,800 rpm, have been achieved when tested on Akrapovic dyno against the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe with an AMG Performance exhaust system.
- Performance measurements apply to the stated test vehicle and complete tested configuration; results vary with vehicle specification and modifications.
- There are three exhaust valves, operated by a specially developed control kit: one on either side of the muffler and one in the active X-connection in the link pipe to create a perfect sound experience.
- This produces a pure and deep distinctive tone, with a full-bodied sound at idle, and a well-defined and strong burble as the revs rise, leading to a high-frequency sound full of sporty character at higher rpms.
Package and Required Components
- Carbon Fiber Tips Included.
Installation and Application Notes
- No remapping is needed on installation.
- An optional Akrapovic Sound Kit is also available to provide full control over the spectrum of sound emitted from the exhaust.
- The Evolution Line (Titanium) is ECE type approved for cars with an Otto Particulate Filter (OPF).
- ECE type approval certificate of the Evolution Line (Titanium) is not valid if Akrapovic Sound Kit is installed.
