Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A Class W176 A45 W117 CLA45 AMG M133 Downpipe
Price range: 459.99€ through 639.99€
The Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A-Class W176 A45 and W117 CLA45 AMG Downpipe is the ultimate upgrade for boosting your engine’s performance. Available in catless, catless with heat shield, and sports catalyst options, this downpipe is designed to give your engine more power and efficiency by replacing the restrictive factory catalytic converter.
Built from premium materials like stainless steel or durable alloys, it can handle the intense heat and pressure of high-performance driving. The catless design provides the smoothest exhaust path, reducing back pressure and improving turbo efficiency. This results in a noticeable increase in horsepower, torque, and a more aggressive exhaust sound. The catless with heat shield option adds extra protection, while the sports catalyst option offers a balanced compromise between power and emissions control.
For drivers looking to maximize the performance of their A45 AMG or CLA45 AMG, the Alpha Competition downpipe is a must-have. Whether you’re on the track or enjoying a spirited drive, this upgrade ensures consistent performance and is built to last, handling demanding driving conditions without issue.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
