The Mercedes-AMG A35 W177 exhaust in detail.
One clarification comes up often: the A35 W177’s M260 is not the engine hand-built in Affalterbach that the A45 S receives. It is Mercedes’ 2.0-liter turbo, reworked by AMG, with a twin-scroll turbo and direct injection: 306 hp between 5,800 and 6,100 rpm, 400 Nm from 3,000 rpm, and 4.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h with the 7G-DCT and 4MATIC Performance drive, on the A35s built since 2019 that this page covers.
The temperament is definitely there; it is the factory exhaust, particulate filter included, that keeps it on a leash. Our valved cat-back gives it back a full tone and a frank climb, with crackles on the overrun when the valves are open. It is not a V8 rumble, and that is not the aim: it is the eager voice of a four-cylinder that pulls hard. Closed again, the valves bring the compact back to its standard level, or nearly.
The system is produced to your A35’s VIN and bolts on in place of the old one: clamps, gaskets, about two hours in the workshop, nothing to cut. The AMG driving modes stay in charge if the car has factory valves; failing that, the Rog remote controls the opening, with its unit hidden in the trunk.
On this turbo engine, the “Manifold” option on this page corresponds to the downpipe and its catalytic converter, the second bottleneck after the muffler. Taken with 200 cells, this downpipe leaves the A35’s emissions control intact; with 100 cells, it all depends on the car and the rules in your country, while the decat variant is reserved for track use. It is the ECU remap that converts this flow into power; without it, only the sound changes. 304 stainless steel or titanium around 40% lighter, in three finishes.

Questions about the Mercedes-AMG A35 W177 2.0 turbo exhaust.
Does this system also fit the A45 or the A200 W177?
No: each has its own page. This page, for its part, covers the A35 W177 2.0 turbo built since 2019. For a particular body style or model year, send us your VIN: we check before starting manufacturing.
What does an A35 W177 deliver when remapped with the downpipe?
The page publishes Stage 2 figures of 370 hp and 510 Nm, against 306 hp and 400 Nm stock, with a full ECU remap by an approved tuner. The cat-back on its own does not require it: the Mercedes ECU handles it without modification.
Vehicle inspection: which options should be kept on an A35?
Cat-back alone or 200-cell downpipe, valves closed: the catalytic converter does its work and the AMG stays close to its stock volume. The 100-cell will be accepted or not depending on the vehicle and local regulations. In decat form, the car belongs on the circuit alone.
Does the A35 drone at 130 km/h with the Rog system?
With the valves shut, the flow passes through the muffler volume designed for cruising, and the AMG eats up the miles without resonance. You reopen the valves for a mountain road or an early-morning departure, without changing mode if you use the remote.
Mercedes-AMG A35 W177 2.0 turbo: straight pipe or resonator?
On this model, two characters at the same price: the straight pipe for the raw sound of your engine, unfiltered, or the resonator for a rounder and slightly softer voice. Either way, the exhaust stays fully sporty. Learn more: Exhaust resonator: what does it do? Straight pipe or resonator, which sound to choose.
