I am not sure of the downpipes but I have the Kleemann 200 cell sport primary catalytics on my SLK55 which shares the same engine as the C55. What I have heared is that the downpipes that come with the headers are just 200 cell 3" Primary catalytic converters.

It doesnt cause check engine lines to my experience but if it does, the issue can be resolved by having your car flashed by Kleemann which adds 15hp on top of the 20hp you gain from the headers alone.

Good luck with the mods.

I am having mine installed by Vadim this weekend. The price of $2995 comes complete with downpipes but the Racing Cats are $380 extra.

Congradulations in advance, sorry to go offtopic but are there phelonic spacers for our NA 5.5L V8's to keep the heat down especially in Summer where the heat is a killer since I am based in Kuwait?
