Will the Capristo A45 valved exhaust fit my car?

Yes, if your car is a W176 Mercedes-AMG A45 built from 2013 to 2018 with the 2.0-liter turbocharged M133 engine. Capristo lists the Capristo A45 valved exhaust for the W176 A45 only. The later W177 A45 uses a different Capristo system, sold separately. For CLA 45 and GLA 45 models, contact us with your VIN and we will confirm the right Capristo part before you order.

How do the valves on the Capristo exhaust work?

Vacuum-actuated valve flaps open and close with driving conditions and driver input. The included CES-3 control module offers three modes from a remote key fob: Cruise opens the valves at higher rpm, Sport opens them at lower rpm and under hard acceleration, and Open keeps them open. Cruise and Sport each take their own programmable backpressure setting, so the valves open exactly where the driver prefers.

What is the Capristo A45 valved exhaust made from?

The Capristo A45 valved exhaust is made from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, an alloy Capristo chose for its sonic resonance, low weight and durability. Capristo engineers the system with 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending and milling at its factory in Sundern, Germany, then hand-polishes every system to a mirror finish.

How difficult is installation?

The system is designed to install directly into the A45's existing OEM mounting points, so no cutting or fabrication is required to hang it. Professional installation is still recommended, because the installer also mounts the CES-3 control module and vacuum hardware, checks alignment at the tips and confirms that each valve mode works correctly before the car goes back on the road.

Is the Capristo A45 valved exhaust covered by a warranty?

Yes. Capristo backs its hardware with a 3-year guarantee from the date of purchase through authorized dealers. Bulletproof Automotive is an authorized Capristo dealer, so your Capristo A45 valved exhaust is genuine and covered. Each system is built to order in Germany and ships on backorder once your order is confirmed.

Description

Capristo Valved Exhaust System for W176 Mercedes-AMG A45

The Capristo A45 valved exhaust gives the W176 Mercedes-AMG A45, the 4MATIC hatchback built around AMG’s 2.0-liter turbocharged M133 engine, a voice with two distinct characters: deep and restrained at a cruise, and the full sound of the engine once the valves open under hard acceleration. Capristo engineers and builds every system at its own factory in Sundern, Germany, using 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending and milling, then polishes the high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel by hand to a mirror finish. It suits the A45 owner who wants a hatchback this quick to sound as considered as it drives.

Valve Control

The Capristo A45 valved exhaust uses vacuum-actuated valve flaps that open and close with driving conditions and driver input. At low engine speeds and at a cruise the valves stay closed for a deeper note; at wide-open throttle they open to release the engine’s full sound. The valves are backpressure-controlled and programmed through the included CES-3 control module, and the Cruise and Sport modes each take their own backpressure setting, so the point where the valves open matches the driver’s taste.

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.
