We've obviously seen many available and proven exhaust system upgrade options for the V6 Emira. With the I4 Turbo being newer on the market for about a year in most of the world and a few months here in the US, does anyone know of or have implemented viable and proven exhaust system upgrades for the AMG powerplant?

Aerie has a couple...

 
awesome, would love to hear your feedback on your experience with the installation process and the sound and performance after you do the upgrade.
 
TDI Tuning will finish their tuning tomorrow for their tuning box that has already shipped out (update via bluetooth) but in summary:
bolt on's available are:
sports cat/dp
exhaust
TDI Tuning box (as of now an estimated 50hp+)

that's it lol. to come I hope somebody will make an intake, the turbo induction and dump are barely noticeable with the windows up

China has had the Emira I4 for a while and no one has cracked the ECU...that is telling. I mean, they make iPhones and chips.

When someone has full ECU access then all the A45 bits come over freely. Hybrid turbos, alcohol injection (I'll be doing both the moment ecu is cracked) and tons of maps and custom tuning for 500+ with bolt ons
 
Renntec is going to give it a shot very soon. I have the TDI and I am glad they have a sports cat/dp tune worked out. I agree I hope we can get some better intake sounds. The blow off valve is very weak sounding too

I have a mercedes external valve but think it's going to trip engine code...we'll see, will test when my car is back from service - and a good intake will make the turbo very loud, excited for that

What did you have in mind for the intake? Are you saying you have an external blow off valve? Thats would be great

yeah GRP sent me one to try out that attaches to the A45 - think the maf sensor will trip if it's measuring air volume, might have to wait till we have ECU access. Intake-wise the shop I use wants to make something that's all I know for now. I will say on my Alfa 4C the biggest change in turbo spool/bov/wastegate sound came from a very open intake that got rid of the stock complex routing. This is what it sounds like, this is my old red one before the yellow Spider.



Skip to like 1:08 around there, in real life the turbo is even louder, it's VERY loud inside the car and that's just from a change in intake that got rid of the box and just open filter. Imagine the turbo on the Emira it would sound even better than this

Yes exactly we are on the same page! Here was my turbo Elise The sounds were amazing if we can get these cars to get even 50% it would be great
