What model years does the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63/63 S Evolution Line fit?

This Evolution Line, SKU S-ME/TI/15H/1, is built for the pre-facelift 2020-2023 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63/63 S on the X167 chassis. The facelifted 2024-onward vehicle takes a different system, SKU S-ME/T/9H, so confirm your model year before ordering because the two are not interchangeable.

Is this exhaust street legal?

Yes. Unlike many Akrapovic performance systems, this Evolution Line carries full ECE type approval for OPF/GPF-equipped vehicles and requires no ECU remapping. That approval is voided if the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit is installed, so factor that in if the sound kit is part of your plan for the vehicle.

What's included in the kit?

The kit includes the titanium central muffler, titanium Evolution link pipes with an active X-connection crossover, four carbon fiber tips with titanium inner linings, three integrated exhaust valves with a factory-interfacing control kit, and all installation hardware. The Akrapovic Sound Kit and aftermarket downpipes are sold separately.

How much weight does it save?

The system reduces exhaust weight by 9.2 kg (20.3 lb) compared to the AMG Performance exhaust, a 34.2% reduction, bringing the installed titanium system down to 17.71 kg (39.1 lb) total.

What performance gains does it offer?

Akrapovic rates this system at +6.3 kW (8.6hp) and +21.3 Nm (15.7 lb-ft) of torque, both at 2,800 rpm, over the factory AMG Performance exhaust.

Does adding the Sound Kit affect this exhaust's compliance?

Yes. Installing the optional Akrapovic Sound Kit voids the Evolution Line's ECE type approval certificate. If road-legal compliance matters to you, keep that in mind before adding the Sound Kit.

Description

Akrapovic Titanium Evolution Line for X167 Mercedes-AMG GLS 63/63 S

Built specifically for the pre-facelift Mercedes-AMG GLS 63/63 S (X167), this Akrapovic Evolution Line is a full titanium system from the factory downpipes back, not just a slip-on or link pipe set. It replaces the entire section from the factory downpipes back with a titanium central muffler, titanium Evolution link pipes, and four hand-crafted carbon fiber tips with titanium inner linings, all while carrying full ECE type approval. Three integrated exhaust valves, managed by Akrapovic’s factory-interfacing control kit, work with the vehicle’s original valve-control button so the system behaves exactly like the factory setup from the driver’s seat, just with more titanium underneath and a noticeably richer voice.

Features

Full titanium central muffler with integrated foundry-cast reinforcement pillar
Titanium Evolution link pipes with an active X-connection crossover for refined acoustics
Four hand-crafted carbon fiber tips with sandblasted titanium inner linings
Three integrated exhaust valves with a factory-interfacing control kit (wiring harness, modules, actuators)
ECE type approved for OPF/GPF-equipped vehicles, with no ECU remap required
Direct-fit replacement mounting to the factory downpipes

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.
