Are you looking to elevate the performance of your Mercedes Cls500 or CLS550 AMG C218 W218? Upgrade your exhaust system with our high-performance downpipes, engineered to deliver significant power gains and enhanced driving dynamics. Specifically designed for models with the M278 4.7 twin-turbo engine from 2011-2018, these downpipes are the perfect modification to unlock your Mercedes’ hidden power and improve throttle response.
Experience Unmatched Performance Gains for Your Mercedes CLS500
Our downpipes are not just an exhaust component; they are a key to transforming your driving experience. By replacing the restrictive factory downpipes, you’ll notice a remarkable increase in horsepower and torque. Expect faster turbo spool up, leading to quicker acceleration and a more responsive engine. This upgrade is crucial for maximizing the potential of your Mercedes CLS500‘s twin-turbo engine, making every drive more exhilarating. Beyond power, these downpipes contribute to extending the lifespan of your turbos by reducing back pressure and lowering underhood temperatures. You’ll also enjoy a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note that complements the sporty character of your Mercedes.
Premium Features and Options for Mercedes CLS500 Downpipes
Crafted from the highest quality 2.0mm wall, 3” 304 stainless steel, our downpipes are built to last. They feature 100% TIG welded and back purged construction, ensuring superior strength and durability. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement using OEM-spec flanges and including all necessary brackets and mounts, installation is straightforward and requires no modifications. These downpipes are compatible with both Left Hand Drive (LHD) and Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles.
We offer several options to tailor your downpipes to your specific needs:
- Catalytic Converter Options:
- HJS HD 200cpsi: For ultimate performance and near-straight-pipe flow with Euro 6 emissions compliance, choose HJS high-performance catalytic converters. Made in Germany, these converters are known for their robustness and efficiency, ideal for both motorsport and tuning applications.
- GESI GEN2 400cpsi: If you require EPA-compliant catalytic converters capable of handling up to 1000hp, the GESI GEN2 series is the perfect choice. These converters are lab-tested to meet or exceed emissions standards in North America (excluding California) while significantly improving exhaust flow.
- OE-style Heat Shielding: Our signature REDSTAR thermal management feature, OE-style heat shielding with a ceramic inner liner, reduces radiant heat by 70-80%. This protects surrounding components and enhances performance. Unlike simple thermal wraps, our heat shielding, inspired by race car technology, offers superior effectiveness and durability.
- Straight Tunable O2 Spacers: Included with our Competition models, these spacers come with three inserts to fine-tune the flow to the O2 sensor. This helps prevent check engine lights when running without ECU tuning.
