CLA45s Akrapovic exhaust. Giving a lion its roar, at iCARMIX

You might wonder, why on Earth would anyone need to upgrade their exhaust system? Well, I believe most owners who opt for an exhaust upgrade aren't just looking to enhance their vehicle's performance. They seek the excitement of tinkering with their car's specs. They seek the thrill and excitement that comes with driving. When you're cruising at high speeds, but your engine sound falls short, it can be a major letdown for any driver. Take a look at this CLA45s (C118) in the pictures. While it boasts an impressive burst of speed, its exhaust note can be improved, if it's failing to provide the driver with that irresistible passion and exhilaration. Therefore, we, together with the customer, decided to upgrade it with the Akrapovič Evolution Line Titanium exhaust system designed specifically for this model.
AK exhaust systems are crafted using lightweight titanium alloy materials. Not only do they significantly reduce weight, but they also provide a distinct exhaust sound that sets them apart from traditional stainless steel exhausts. The result is a crisp, resonant exhaust note that enhances the racing feel with every tap on the accelerator. It allows you to unleash a surge of driving pleasure like never before! Additionally, according to data provided by Akrapovič, the exhaust system alone is 46.2% lighter than the stock configuration, shedding off 11.2kg and slimming down to a mere 9.6kg. In terms of performance, it yields an increase of approximately 8.7 hp and 9.1 Nm of torque.

Is this upgrade for you though? Well, I'll give it a definite maybe. It depends a lot on what you're looking for in your driving experience. Was my customer happy? Now that's a definite yes, and if you're anything like him, go for it.

Don't forget to take a look on our iCARMIX shop. We got so much more than a good sense of humor:
