What is the Valvetronic Designs GLE 63 exhaust made from?

The GLE 63 exhaust is grade 5 titanium throughout, precision TIG welded at every joint, with full 3.0-inch tubing and an OEM-style H-pipe. Grade 5 is the aerospace alloy, lighter than stainless at equal strength and quicker to shed heat, which is how the system comes in 51.8lbs under the Factory Equipment.

How much weight does it save?

51.8lbs compared with the Factory Equipment. That saving comes from grade 5 titanium rather than from thinner material, and on a vehicle of this size it is one of the few changes that takes real mass out of the back end.

Does it work with the factory valve control?

Yes. The electronic valves are built to work with the vehicle's own valve control, so the exhaust opens and closes on the logic Mercedes-AMG already uses and there is no separate controller to mount in the cabin.

What is the difference between the two configurations?

The Valved Sport Catback is the titanium system on its own. The version with Free Flow Race Downpipes extends it further forward, freeing up flow ahead of the catback and adding another step in volume and response. Both share the same titanium construction and the same H-pipe.

Is the installation reversible?

Yes, 100 percent. The system bolts to the factory mounting points and nothing is cut, so the original exhaust can go back on later with no sign the swap ever happened. That matters on a vehicle likely to be sold or returned to stock at some point.

Description

Valvetronic Designs Valved Sport Exhaust System for C167 / W167 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63

Valvetronic Designs’ Valved Sport Exhaust System for C167 / W167 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 gives a vehicle this size a voice nobody expects from it. Valvetronic designs and builds every system in-house in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, and this GLE 63 exhaust is grade 5 titanium end to end, precision TIG welded, running full 3.0-inch tubing and coming in 51.8lbs lighter than the Factory Equipment. An OEM-style H-pipe balances tone against flow, and the electronic valves work with the factory control, so the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 stays composed on the daily drive and turns race-bred the moment the valves open.

Titanium Construction

The GLE 63 exhaust is grade 5 titanium throughout, the aerospace alloy Valvetronic uses where weight and heat both matter, and every joint is precision TIG welded. Full 3.0-inch tubing runs the length of the system, and the whole assembly comes in 51.8lbs under the Factory Equipment. That is a serious amount of mass off a vehicle that carries plenty of it, and it comes off the rear where it is felt most. Valvetronic Designs backs the titanium tubes and welds with a lifetime of ownership limited warranty against defects in workmanship or material, including penetrating rust.

Sound and Valve Control

An OEM-style H-pipe sits mid-system, linking the banks so the tone fills out instead of turning coarse, and the electronic valves integrate with the factory control rather than a separate aftermarket box. Closed, the GLE 63 exhaust is refined and subtle, quiet enough that nothing about the vehicle gives itself away. Open, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo turns aggressive and race-bred, closer in character to the naturally aspirated AMG V8s than anything the factory system suggests.

Choosing Your Configuration

Two configurations are offered. The Valved Sport Catback covers the rear of the system and is the complete titanium GLE 63 exhaust on its own. Adding the Free Flow Race Downpipes carries the system further forward, which frees up flow ahead of the catback and adds another step in both volume and response. Both configurations share the same grade 5 titanium construction, the same 3.0-inch tubing and the same OEM-style H-pipe.

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.
