Remus Valved Exhaust for the Mercedes CLA 45 Debut

Remus Exhausts are one of the top European vehicle exhaust manufacture amongst the likes of Eisenmann and Akrapovic.  At the recent auto show in Shanghai, China, Remus debuted the new valved catback exhaust for the Mercedes CLA 45 AMG.  The nimble sports sedan has actually made a huge impact in Asia.  A majority of the first allocations of the vehicles went to the Asian market.  As it picks up steam in the USA, more and more products are becoming available.  Just like TheSmokingTire’s Video Review of our Project CLA45, it is that perfect stepping stone for a driver coming from a EVO or STI, but wanting a little more class.  Its handling, power delivery, and interior features are definitely in place making the CLA 45 one of the new AWD fighters.  The Remus Exhaust system is a perfect addition to get a little more snap out of the 255hp 2.0L Turbocharged Engine.  If you are lucky enough to have the new 2016 on order, these will come from the factory with 280hp.  Check out the pics of the all stainless steel Remus Exhaust below.

Vivid Racing CLA45 AMG Featured on Smoking Tire"s One Take

If you are not familiar with Matt Farah and his The Smoking Tire video series, you are missing out!  I have know Matt since back when we did Bullrun in 2007.  Matt has always been an over the top car guy.  Sticking to his guns, he has created a following that is almost celebrity status.  Having appeared on TV shows with Adam Corolla, he also has complimented Google’s original content series Drive with other Vivid Racing favorites like Alex Roy of Gumball 3000.  Matt’s latest series is on his YouTube channel is something he calls “One Take”.  Its basically a GoPro mounted to the front of the car and inside the car where Matt takes you for a drive in a vehicle through some of his favorite California canyon roads.  As Matt says, “the only way to make money on the internet is without spending money!”  He has done this very well.  As I write this, the video has over 42,000 views and is less than 24 hours old.  If you are in your mid 30’s like myself and your first car was a Subaru WRX or Mitsubishi EVO, then you will relate.  In fact I never thought about this car that way till now.  Matt definitely breaks it down on his drive.  Background aside, I love his review of our Project Mercedes CLA45 AMG.  Check out the video and make sure to leave your comments!  You can also follow Matt on Instagram @thesmokingtire and Twitter @thesmokingtire.
