Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) – Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC (W206/S206) – 2023

Article number: E-ME/SS/2

The Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) for the Mercedes-AMG C 43 (W206/S206) is designed as a performance-enhancing extension to the Akrapovič Slip-On Line (Titanium). This upgrade, manufactured entirely from high-grade stainless steel, optimizes gas flow, improves response, and gives the C 43 a more powerful and refined engine sound that perfectly matches the AMG identity.

The system utilizes a dual-tube design with minimal back pressure and a specially developed resonator to prevent unwanted drone. The result is a sporty yet comfortable sound profile at normal speeds, which transforms into a sharper and more dynamic AMG sound at higher RPMs, including precise pops and bangs during acceleration.

This link pipe set has been developed for use on closed-course competition circuits and offers noticeable performance gains without requiring an ECU remap.
