Turn 14 Distribution Adds Mercedes-AMG A 35 Akrapovič Slip-On Line Exhaust to Offerings

Akrapovič’s Mercedes-AMG A 35 Sedan SlipOn Line (Titanium) exhaust is now available at Turn 14 Distribution, the sole U.S. automotive distributor for Akrapovič, the company announced.

The lightweight exhaust is crafted from high-grade titanium and is finished with two pairs of titanium and carbon fiber tailpipes. Its housing is cast in the in-house Akrapovič foundry.

A specially designed perforated manifold tube on the valve side eliminates streaming without any compromise to the pressure pulse distribution.

Lighter than stock due to the use of titanium and a different configuration, the design and construction of the exhaust system leads to optimization in the power and torque levels throughout the entire rev range, the company says. A weight savings of 10.4 pounds is realized with the installation of this system.

Performance is increased by 5.2 horsepower at 5,100 rpm and 4.9 lb-ft of torque, also achieved at 5,100 rpm, according to Akrapovič.

The stock exhaust system must be cut to install the Slip-On system.
