Mercedes Benz W213, E43 AMG Stainless Steel Valved Catback Exhaust

Wake up the W213 E43 without turning it into a different car. A full stainless valved catback with twin valved mufflers, a balanced crossover and the wireless remote kit supplied, built for both the Sedan and the Wagon.

The E43 is the quiet one of the M276 family - it carries the same twin-turbo V6 as the C43 but wears a heavier, more muffled system in keeping with the car it sits under. This replaces the whole rear section with mandrel-bent 304 stainless and its own valve assembly, so the E43 can still do the long quiet drive and then sound like an AMG when you ask it to.

The crossover balances pulses between the two banks before the mufflers, which is what gives the note its depth rather than just its volume.

Manufactured from 304 stainless steel with mandrel bends and TIG welds throughout, supplied complete with the valve assembly, remote kit and all hardware.

Key Features

Independent Varex Valve System

Rather than reusing the restricted factory valves, this system operates its own dedicated valve assembly with complete travel in both directions. Sealed when closed for a quieter OEM+ driving experience, and fully unobstructed when open for a fully aggressive exhaust tone.

Wireless Remote Kit Supplied

Valve operation is handled entirely by the supplied remote, so the volume is yours to choose rather than the car's. The system does not connect to the factory valve motors.

304 Stainless Steel Construction

Mandrel-bent 304 stainless throughout for consistent bore, corrosion resistance and long service life.

Balanced Crossover

Balances exhaust pulses between the two banks of the V6, deepening the tone and evening out the delivery through the mid range.

Sedan and Wagon Fitment

Built to the correct routing for each body style, selected at checkout.

Precision TIG Welded

Clean, strong welds built to handle exhaust temperature cycling and hard driving.

Direct Bolt-On Fitment

Fits at the factory mounting points and hangers. No cutting and no fabrication.

Which Body Style Do I Need?

The E43 was sold as a Sedan and as a Wagon (Estate), and the two cars have different rear floor pans and hanger positions. The exhaust routing behind the rear axle is not shared, so the systems are not interchangeable.

Sedan - the four-door saloon.

Wagon (Estate) - the five-door estate.

Select the body style that matches your car at checkout. If you are unsure, our team will confirm it against your VIN before dispatch.

Vehicle Fitment

Mercedes-AMG E43 (W213, 2017-2019)

3.0L Twin-Turbocharged M276 V6 Engine

Available for both the Sedan and the Wagon (Estate). This system is for the E43 - the C43 uses a different catback, see our W205 C43 listing.

Please Note

Professional installation is recommended. Exhaust sound will vary depending on whether the factory or aftermarket downpipes are fitted.

Check your local road rules before fitting. Exhaust noise requirements vary by state and a vehicle must remain compliant for road use.
