By eliminating the restrictive factory catalytic converters, our race-engineered downpipes significantly reduce exhaust back pressure, allowing the turbochargers to spool more efficiently while increasing horsepower, throttle response, and exhaust volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"733\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003eOur race downpipes maintain a full 3\" diameter throughout nearly the entire pipe to maximize exhaust flow and minimize restriction. Manufactured from premium 1.5mm wall TIG-welded 304 stainless steel, they are built to withstand extreme exhaust temperatures while providing a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note under acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1d7mrtu\" data-start=\"1067\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1uomrw0\" data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1203\"\u003eAdds up to approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"1107\" data-end=\"1134\"\u003e90-120 crank horsepower\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003e120-160 lb-ft of torque\u003c\/strong\u003e when paired with a Stage 2 ECU \u0026amp; TCU tune from our select tuning partners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"13wq2f7\" data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003eHand-built from premium TIG-welded 304-grade stainless steel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1x38bmf\" data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1353\"\u003eSmooth mandrel bends designed to maximize exhaust flow and turbocharger efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1h693yt\" data-start=\"1354\" data-end=\"1420\"\u003eDirect bolt-on installation with no cutting or welding required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1wygu33\" data-start=\"1421\" data-end=\"1471\"\u003eAll required hardware included for installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"o31m2g\" data-start=\"1472\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003e60-day return policy against fitment and manufacturing defects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"jut9h2\" data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003eCompatible with both left-hand drive (LHD) and right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"16q3upg\" data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1639\"\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003eMercedes-Benz CLS550 (C218\/X218),\u003cstrong data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e2012-2018, 4.7L Twin-Turbo M278 V8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"ctfpuh\" data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1740\"\u003ePerformance Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1917\"\u003eInstalling catless downpipes is one of the highest-value performance upgrades available for the M278 platform.
