---Cls63s Bridge pipes attempt to install--failed

Had a set of bridge pipes and downpipes ready to give a try but it was a bust. Dropped the motor for no reason. They will never fit without having modified motor mounts. Learned the hard way.
At the end of the day I just had the h&r front springs installed and full break job. Rotors all around and pads and caliper color change

Omg, it is written everywhere that those downpipes will not fit 4wd without changing motor mounts and brackets.

there is no right pipes (bridge) for 4wd till now, you have to change the mounts/brackets or you have to make the bridge (fabricate) them in house to fit.

I just realized your car is the same one MotorHead.Co has been working on and making all the youtube videos.

I see VRP released their AWD version bridge pipes. Did they do the right thing and swap them for you?

the rest pipes also differ, the brackets location differ from 2wd to 4wd.
