However, one area where the AMG A 45 S lacks compared to its predecessor is its exhaust note, which has been significantly tamed at the factory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery variant of AMG A-Class has been a tuners dream thanks to their horsepower-hungry engines and extremely planted handling characteristics. Cobra Sport have enjoyed enormous success in this field, with their performance exhausts for both the previous generation A 45 AMG and latest AMG A 35 being amongst the best-selling systems in the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCobra Sport have enhanced the audible exhaust output of the latest generation AMG A 45 S, by opting for 3”\/76.2mm stainless steel pipework for the biggest upgrade in terms of performance, flow rate and sound levels. The free-flowing Cobra Sport exhaust setup completely transforms the vehicle and will open up the future tuning possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those who want to significantly improve sound levels but keep the GPF and standard catalyst in place, Cobra Sport offers their unique rear box delete range. This cat back exhaust setup removes the rear silencer to offer the biggest sound increase whilst keeping a sporty exhaust tone (+11.7dB in cat back non-resonated rear box delete configuration). The Cobra Sport team were also able to reduce the weight of this setup by an impressive 26% over the OEM system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMedia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHampshire Photography - Mercedes-AMG A45S 4.5-inch Sports Cat Tuning Video\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PXYuZdFeAig\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHampshire Photography - Mercedes-AMG A45S 4.5-inch Sports Cat First Drive and Impressions Video\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UkxKUv3Axt8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatic Sound Clip - 4.5\" Sports Cat Resonated Valved Turbo Back System with Rear Silencer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GvdWRGe6VZ0?si=rYHF8AbWNP6gExTX\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHampshire Photography - Mercedes-AMG A45S Full Turbo Back Driving Impressions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fe_9NVuVba0?si=yFMR_Yd2XwnfDfiZ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHampshire Photography - Mercedes-AMG A45S Cat Back Fitting Video (With 200-cell High Flow Catalyst)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LdT8QK2wziY?si=523zCI2Cc1u355-4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhaust Talk Episode Two - Sports Catalyst vs De-Cat Performance Exhausts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qEcVHJ7QDyI?si=j9ZZK3Is6A4wBSZX\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobra Sport","offers":[{"title":"Sports Cat \/ To Standard Flex","offer_id":57083855667583,"sku":"ME48","price":842.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sports Cat \/ Incl.
