Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) – Mercedes-AMG A35 (W177) – 2019 – OPF/GPF

Article number: E-ME/SS/1

The Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) for the Mercedes-AMG A35 (W177) is a crucial upgrade for drivers looking to unleash the full potential of their AMG. This stainless steel link pipe set was developed in conjunction with the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium) and replaces the restrictive OPF/GPF units, dramatically improving both performance and sound.

The improved gas flow results in sharper response, more torque, and a more aggressive AMG sound reminiscent of full-fledged motorsport performance. Removing the OPF creates an open, full tone with clear cracks and burbles on deceleration – an intense auditory experience not possible with the standard exhaust system.

This upgrade is designed for closed track use only, and requires ECU remapping to prevent error codes.
