How much weight does this exhaust save?

The titanium construction reduces total exhaust weight by 3.6 kg (7.9 lb), a 26.5% reduction versus the factory system.

Do I need to buy anything else with this exhaust?

Yes. This Slip-On Line requires one additional mandatory link pipe to complete the installation — either the standard Link Pipe Set (Titanium) (L-ME/T/12) or the Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) (E-ME/SS/2). You'll also need four genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM trim parts (sold separately) for proper fitment.

Which link pipe should I choose?

The standard Link Pipe Set (L-ME/T/12) preserves ECE type approval on this Slip-On Line. The Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) (E-ME/SS/2) adds further performance and sound but voids ECE type approval, making it a competition/off-road-oriented pairing.

Is this exhaust street legal?

Yes, when installed on a GPF-equipped C43 4MATIC with the standard Link Pipe Set (L-ME/T/12) and no Sound Kit, the system carries ECE type approval. Pairing it with the Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) or the Sound Kit voids that approval.

Will I need to remap my ECU after installation?

No. The system installs plug-and-play and requires no ECU remapping.

What is the Akrapovič Sound Kit and do I need it?

The Sound Kit (P-HF1564) is an optional add-on that lets you wirelessly adjust the exhaust's sound profile via a Bluetooth remote or the Akrapovič Sound Kit app. It is not required for the exhaust to function, but installing it voids ECE type approval.

What material is this exhaust made from?

The system is constructed from high-grade titanium throughout, with twin tailpipes combining hand-crafted carbon fibre outer sleeves and titanium inner sleeves.

Description

Akrapovič Titanium Slip-On Line for S206 / W206 Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC

Name: Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC Exhaust | Bulletproof Automotive
Brand: Akrapovic
SKU: S-ME/T/4H
Price: 7121.68 USD
Availability: BackOrder

The Akrapovič Titanium Slip-On Line is a precision-engineered performance exhaust built for the Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC (W206, S206), designed to replace the factory mufflers and tailpipes with a lighter, better-sounding, and more powerful system. The full high-grade titanium construction sheds 3.6 kg (7.9 lb) from the stock exhaust — a 26.5% weight reduction — while adding 6.3 kW (8.6 hp) at 6,650 rpm and 13.5 Nm (10 lb-ft) of torque at 2,650 rpm, verified on Akrapovič’s in-house dyno against a stock C43 4MATIC exhaust.

Special internal collectors inside both mufflers eliminate streaming noise, while internal cones act as acoustic reflectors, partially redirecting sound from the bumper-mounted tailpipes forward toward the cabin for a more immersive, in-car experience. The result is a sound that’s linearized across the rev range and engine load — smooth and refined at cruising speed, then progressively more dramatic and sporty as revs climb. Two electronically controlled exhaust valves, managed by a dedicated control kit, continuously monitor driving parameters to fine-tune this transition in real time.

Notes

This Slip-On Line requires one additional mandatory link pipe to complete the system: either the standard Link Pipe Set (Titanium) (L-ME/T/12) or the Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) (E-ME/SS/2). The Slip-On Line cannot function as a complete exhaust without one of these
Choosing the Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS) (E-ME/SS/2), or adding the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit, voids ECE type approval on this Slip-On Line
Mounting this exhaust requires four additional genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM trim parts, sold separately: two tailpipe finisher pairs (available in black, carbon, or silver finish) and two additional trim components. Confirm your preferred finish before ordering these parts
No ECU remapping is required; installation is plug-and-play once the correct link pipe and OEM trim parts are on hand
Professional installation is recommended; estimated installation time is approximately 5 hours (300 minutes)

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
