Post Exhaust Sound on New CLA 45

Hey everyone I am pretty new here so bare with me haha.

So I am wondering if anyone has any 2020 AMG model and happens to live in the USA that knows a way around all the OPF/PPF filters that are in the new cars and how to disable them/remove them to get the loud exhaust note. I know that those are regulations in EU, but they're not here in the US so I want to enjoy the loud pops and bangs.

Let me know what you guys know I appreciate anything. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks

It seems like the car the US is getting will be pretty much identical to the EU version. The car hasn't been released in the US yet, so we'll need to wait and see if it's true, and if there's any mods that can be done to "restore" the sounds.

I've been lead to believe, by a couple of exhaust companies, that the OPF can be deleted without causing an EML. The problem is that the cat and OPF are one unit so you'd have to fit a sports cat. Only some of these have been engineered well enough to avoid an EML light.
