Akrapovič Mercedes A 35/CLA 35 (V177/W177/C118/X118) OPF/GPF Link Pipe
The Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS), developed and tested alongside the Slip-On Line (Titanium) system, is a performance-enhancing upgrade designed for track-focused enthusiasts. This system is engineered to elevate the sound and performance of the car by eliminating the Otto particulate filter (OPF), resulting in significant improvements in both exhaust note and driving dynamics.
Key Features:
- Enhanced Sound: By eliminating the OPF, this link pipe set allows the engine’s natural, sporty sound to emerge, increasing both volume and frequency range. The system produces a thrilling exhaust tone, especially noticeable during high revs, gear shifts, and deceleration, with distinctive crackling and burbling sounds on over-run.
- Performance Boost: The removal of the OPF enhances exhaust gas flow, leading to a noticeable performance increase compared to the stock exhaust system. Both the driver and passengers can feel the improved throttle response and increased power.
- Track-Only Design: This system is intended for track use, where the increased exhaust sound and heightened performance can be fully appreciated without concern for road emission regulations.
Installation Requirements:
- ECU Remapping: Installation of the Akrapovič Evolution Link Pipe Set requires mandatory remapping of the ECU to prevent potential “check engine light” warnings and to optimize the exhaust system’s performance.
Compliance Notice:
- This product is designed for closed-track use only and does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use.
By installing the Evolution Link Pipe Set (SS), drivers can significantly enhance their vehicle’s sound and performance, unleashing the full potential of the engine in a track environment.

In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".
For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
