RADO Down-Pipes w/Cats
Greetings all-
RADO offers down-pipes W/Cats delivered for approximately $2700.
I've priced several and they appear to be offering the least expensive.
Anyone have their pipes attached? They claim their product matches up to all tuned ECU's.
Second part of my question concerns the tune. I understand you can't go wrong with AMS or Weistec, I have worked with them in the past and their customer service is second to none.
Can anyone comment on the RADO pipes and a tune? In case I forgot I have a 14 CLS63 'S'. Many thanks.

Yes, I have the catted pipes for my 14' CLS63-S with a renntech tune. Unfortunately, my shop did have some trouble installing them, but still not sure if my shop was to blame or the pipes. That being said, Craig from Rado was great to deal with and even got on the phone with my shop to aid them. He even followed up with me to check if everything went well.
I have been running the pipes for a few weeks with only one CEL that was flashed and never to return. The car seems strong and has a great bark that was missing in stock form. I am planning a trip back to the strip soon so I can quantitatively determine the gains.

CEL is short for check engine light. My shop checked and cleared it and per mercedes diagnostics it stated to drive the car to see if the light returned. I've driven a few hundred miles since with zero issues. Thus far, I'm the only one I've heard of with any issues which seemed to be minor and possibly my shops fault.
