I'm actually smiling like i own the car😃it just sound SO GOOD. I love it. I was smiling from the moment you did turned on the engine till the video ended. I can't wait for the full video❣
Wow this is an insane sound! I have the CLA 45S Shooting Brake and love it, cant wait for your full video as I need this sound. This channel is amazing and love the content. I have wrapped my car and dechromed with carbon fibre and looks great.
I wasn’t expecting that . IPE Akraprovic etc are not even close of sounding this good 👍. As well no warranty issue’s it’s mind blowing I can’t stop laughing. So excited for full video. Keep it up love from Germany 🇩🇪
Me too! I was shocked when I first floored it laughing with a big smile on my face 😅 I just expected a little boost and ended up with this! It been so fun to drive so far! Can’t wait to share more!
Woooooow what a difference jeeeez. Man I just love it. I can only imagine how epic it must sound in person. From the sound I would bet that the modification is a Downpipe (Catted). Thanks again for such great content mate. Much love from Canada 🍁 ❄
Thanks! It’s epic driving around too, il be filming some nice POV vids. For the main video I have done some great before and afters. Just got a few more clips to film and edit it all together :)
The pops and crackles are epic! I’ve been driving it all week and can’t stop letting go of the pedal to listen to them. Windows down! Wait till you hear it through a tunnel! 🍿😁
broooo i have the same car, bought it last christmas.But the only downside was also the exhaust for me due to these stupid government sound regulations, only in race mode it was a little enjoyable, i want to change my exhaust for the longest time but couldn't find a cheap way to do so, or was not always sure what to do exactly, to be able to have this sound with the OPF still on the car is amazing, can't wait to see the full video to see how i can copy your exhaust :D keep up the content!
Hey, sounds really good and I just ordered a CLA 45s from Germany. I couldn't quite understand what is the exact modification you did for the car? Could you share a link so I can share it to my local tuning shop where I would do the tuning. Love the channel ❤️
Sounds really great! Interested to see what the mod is. Been thinking about swapping the exhaust on my CLA 45S SB, but worried it might get too loud even in Comfort mode for the wife and baby.. Also wondering if it would be road legal in Germany. Cheers
I've been looking at a lot of different exhaust mods for my CLA35 and I've been worrying a lot about voiding warranty, failing MOT, all these strict regulations we have in the UK but this sounds like a really good option to do! How long did the whole process take and were there any problems like fault codes popping up? Can't wait for the full video to come out! 😁
It’s impossible to be 100% certain with any mod but from what I’ve been told unless the modification is the cause of the failure warranty should be fine. It’s the ECU tunes that are an instant warranty void. Small exhaust mods like this to the silencer etc shouldn’t be a problem in theory. There’s always a element of risk though with any modification. Il cover this in more detail on the full video 👍
Wow, no issues with the warranty? I have a stock CLA45S as well and keeping the warranty has stopped me doing something to the exhaust so far. Very keen for the full video!
Will you give us more details of what works this mod required? Many thanks for all your amazing videos and contents you share with us! Alex (2022 CLA45s owner)
Hi Alex, I’m going to try my best to cover as much as possible in the video but also happy to answer any questions too if I miss anything :) Thank you for the nice comment, excited to make lots of vids this year with the car! 😁
On the video mention at the end how it’s a perfect compromise for if your mrs is moaning about changing the exhaust it would make my life much easier 😂
Not good 🤣 in all serious though anywhere from 15mpg if driving like a mad man to 20mpg. The way you drive really does define it. One video I really want to do this year is film my commute in each drive mode for a whole week and compare Mpg and cost. It would be a fun showcase of the modes and also very interesting to compare the mpgs.
Hey guys, I’ve just put a deposit on the new CLA 45s Edition 55 and would LOVE to get this done to the car, could you please let me know what parts were needed so I can let my local tuning shop know. This sounds absolutely incredible. Love from Australia
Hey! That’s super exiting nice one! You are in luck too because as far as I know I’m Australia the 45s does not have the OPF filter which means it’s louder from stock and will sound even crazier than mine after modding! Hope yours arrives soon!
Nice one mate but what about country regullations its custom exhaust without certificate, in other coutries like for example where im now Switzerland this is illegal and if police do a check they can stop your car from driving
Hey Thrive, love my Australian viewers! You guys love an AMG! I sell lots of CLA45s merchandise to Australia at www.petrolheadtees.com (shameless plug)! This mod actually requires no parts. It’s a cut open and modification to the stock exhaust :) yours will sound even louder since Australian 45s don’t have the opf filters!
@@ABAUTOAMG weird as it’s vanished for me as I commented on it that I was booked in also in March for mine so well looking forward to see how it turns out! Anyways sounds great and can’t wait to get mine done. Wanted something that was much throatier in Sports + but also stock (ish) quiet in C as it’s a daily and also a family wagon!
@@jamiebell5362 Ah UA-cam can be odd sometimes with comments. I just found it and have replied! Exciting to hear yours is booked in! You won’t regret it. It sounds amazing!
Warranty is a bit of a tricky one. You can never be 100% sure but a warranty should only be voided if the modification is the reason why the part your replacing is failing. Eg if you tune the engine then the whole engine is voided but if you mod the exhaust and the engine fails there’s no reason why it should not be covered unless the exhaust is the cause for the engine failure which is highly unlikely with this mod. Worst case here in theory would be that the warranty of my Exhaust is voided but should only the exhaust. There’s no way to be 100% certain and there’s always a risk modifying a car but from talking to many people these mods have been ok.
My cla45 is modified with a replaced downpipe( opf thus removed cause this car has opf in its downpipe). it sounds way better and louder once opf removed. Check the video of sound in my profile page.
Sounds great Wilhelm, did you have to tune the ECU to remove the OPF? I was told it’s impossible to remove the OPF and maintain warranty since it the OPF is linked to the software so it leaves a clear ECU flag. I may be wrong though since I haven’t tried myself.
@@ABAUTOAMG no I didn’t tune the ecu. My new downpipe is from Jbom, a brand from taiwan specializing in downpipe. it needs no tuning of ecu in your car and everything goes normal (engine check light not on). As for warranty, i was not told by my dealer here in china that it’s a problem. I don’t know what happen in your country they may have different policies from Mercedes.
The full in-depth video on the exhaust is now up! ua-cam.com/video/ikkJSM711gE/v-deo.html
I was expecting you to say couple of grand! 300 odd quid is NOTHING for the smiles and crackles ...sounds amazinggg!!! Cant wait for the full vid!

What are you talking about? iPE sounds great!
@ABAUTO What is the exhaust modification you have done? I was thinking of akrapovich exhaust system, but that's over 4k
Hey Silverfox, it’s a modification to the existing backbox and silencers so it only costs £340 and sounds amazing.
Wow ! That’s insane Mate. Actually REALLY impressed with the OPF back custom job. That’s an absolute steal 😍
Can not wait for the breakdown, ready for an exhaust upgrade
LOVE UR VIDEO FAM! 🇲🇾
This modification is a must!!!!
Woooooow what a difference jeeeez. Man I just love it. I can only imagine how epic it must sound in person. From the sound I would bet that the modification is a Downpipe (Catted). Thanks again for such great content mate. Much love from Canada 🍁 ❄
Thanks! It is crazy in person I have been giggling and smiling behind the wheel all week!
So different played an old video of your exhaust sounds against this one what a difference👍looking forward to the full video😊
Thanks! It’s epic driving around too, il be filming some nice POV vids. For the main video I have done some great before and afters. Just got a few more clips to film and edit it all together :)
Wasn't optimistic seeing as most exhaust mods I've seen in youtube of this engine haven't been as good but this was pleasantly surprising.
It sounds fantastic in person 👍
PCW done it again 😉. Sounds mint 👌🏽
i have to say that sounds brilliant , looikng forward to the full video 😀👍
No way those snaps !!! Definitely getting this done
The pops and crackles are epic! I’ve been driving it all week and can’t stop letting go of the pedal to listen to them. Windows down! Wait till you hear it through a tunnel! 🍿😁
@@ABAUTOAMG I’m shocked. No warranty issues too. looking forward for the full in-depth !!
Great sounds, and will be first thing I do to mine when I get it!

You are costing me a lot of money Adam! I think Im up for this mod, can't wait to see what it is

Sounds awesome mate 😎 does anyone know if this exact same mod can be done to the cla35 aswell?
Hey 😁 Thank you it’s been amazing all week! Yep I think you can do this to the 35 and get really good results too!

I just put down my deposit and waiting for an allocation :) I'm excited to have these concerns
any plans to use wings?
You sure there won’t be issues with warranty? Though any changes to anything engine related would void it.

What all is done??? I’m looking to do something similar
Nice video ,can u tell where u get your dashboard trim
Thanks :) The dashboard trim is all new from factory when I spec’d the car. You can probably buy them as replacements directly from Mercedes-Benz.
How much does it cost to
Wow, no issues with the warranty? I have a stock CLA45S as well and keeping the warranty has stopped me doing something to the exhaust so far. Very keen for the full video!
It will void the warranty
