iPE Mercedes-AMG CLA45 C117 Valvetronic Exhaust

iPE Mercedes-AMG CLA45 (C117) Exhaust System is a high-performance Valvetronic Exhaust System developed specifically for the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 C117, covering model years 2014–2019. Manufactured from Stainless Steel, the system is designed to improve exhaust flow, enhance the sound character of the AMG and provide a more engaging driving experience.

The iPE exhaust system features a 3-mode Valvetronic control system with ON, OFF and AUTO modes, allowing the driver to adjust the exhaust character according to different driving conditions. This gives the CLA45 greater flexibility, from an aggressive performance-oriented sound to a quieter and more comfortable character for everyday cruising.

In ON Mode, the exhaust valves are fully open to maximize exhaust flow and power, producing an extremely loud and aggressive exhaust sound. This mode is ideal for spirited driving when a more pronounced AMG character is desired.

In OFF Mode, the valves are closed to reduce exhaust volume, providing a quieter and more comfortable driving experience. AUTO Mode monitors engine RPM and accelerator-pedal input to automatically adjust valve operation, creating a more dynamic exhaust response according to driving conditions.

Each component is individually designed for the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 C117, allowing iPE to optimize the exhaust system around the vehicle's chassis and exhaust layout. The redesigned system is intended to overcome limitations of the factory exhaust while improving performance, sound and driving pleasure.

Another important advantage is the system's weight reduction. According to iPE, the exhaust system is 2.53 kg lighter than the stock system, representing an 11.6% weight reduction. Reducing exhaust weight helps lower unnecessary mass while complementing the performance-focused character of the CLA45.

The iPE system is available with different configurations, including Cat Back System, Catted Downpipe and Catless Downpipe, allowing the exhaust setup to be matched to the vehicle's specification and intended use. Exhaust-tip finishes include Chrome / Polished Silver, Chrome Black, Titanium Blue, Titanium Gold / Silver / Blue and Carbon Fiber, with additional Mamba-style options available for this application.

For customers looking for a more aggressive exhaust character from the CLA45, the combination of Valvetronic control, optimized exhaust flow and reduced system weight makes the iPE system a comprehensive upgrade over the factory exhaust.
