A full titanium valved catback built from aerospace-grade titanium, hand heat-anodised, with an X-pipe crossover, twin valved mufflers and the wireless remote kit supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory C43 system is heavy and deliberately restrained - it hides one of the better-sounding engines AMG has built. Going titanium rather than stainless changes two things at once: the system is dramatically lighter, and the note is sharper and higher-pitched in a way stainless steel simply cannot reproduce over a twin-turbo V6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-pipe crossover is what gives this system its character. Balancing pulses between the two banks before the mufflers deepens the tone and smooths the delivery, which is why it sounds fuller than a straight dual system at the same volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandrel-bent titanium throughout with precision TIG welding, supplied complete with the valve assembly, remote kit and all hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Titanium Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAerospace-grade titanium through the pipework, muffler bodies and tips, for exceptional heat tolerance, corrosion resistance and a significant weight saving over both the factory system and a stainless replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIndependent Varex Valve System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWireless Remote Kit Supplied\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValve 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eX-Pipe Crossover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalances exhaust pulses between the two banks of the V6, deepening the tone and evening out the delivery through the mid range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSignature Titanium Exhaust Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharper, higher-pitched and more exotic than stainless, with cleaner overrun, stronger crackles and a distinctly motorsport tone at high RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision TIG Welded\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean, strong welds built to handle exhaust temperature cycling and hard driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Bolt-On Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits at the factory mounting points and hangers.

Three options are available:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlue\u003c\/strong\u003e - the finish shown in our photography.

That variation is characteristic of anodised titanium rather than a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A sharper, louder titanium note with the valves open\u003cbr\u003e Near-standard volume with the valves closed\u003cbr\u003e Significant weight reduction over the factory system\u003cbr\u003e Reduced restriction through the whole rear section\u003cbr\u003e Sharper throttle response\u003cbr\u003e A strong foundation for a tuned M276\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValves Closed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Refined and comfortable cruising tone\u003cbr\u003e Minimal cabin drone\u003cbr\u003e Suited to everyday driving and early starts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eValves Open\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sharp, high-pitched titanium tone over the M276 V6\u003cbr\u003e Increased exhaust volume\u003cbr\u003e Stronger overrun crackle and turbo acoustics\u003cbr\u003e More engaging driving experience throughout the rev range\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercedes-AMG C43 (W205, 2016-2021)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.0L Twin-Turbocharged M276 V6 Engine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is for the C43.
