This is what I ordered, they are smaller spacers than usual but if you have catted downpipes this should be more than enough: http://www.bigdaddiesgarage.com/mini-cat-cel-fix.html

Order x2 of them obviously, one for each post cat sensor.
Nice!!! I’ll get them installed soon also.

Utterly disappointed. Now I have to pay 6000$ to see if full exhaust would fix it. If that is not going to help - this is the first and the last Merc I ever owned.

Well, my measure of comparison is to:

1. RS6 C7
2. pre-facelift C63S
3. pre-facelift E63
4. any recent bi-turbo V8 for the same matter

And it just loses to all of the above.

Just disappointed.

2K km on mine and I am ready to sell it, or switch to M5, or new RS7 C8. I should not have started v8 experience with RS6 I guess.

It's not about DPs as far as I understand now. There must be some other crap along the mid pipe or even rear mufflers. Need to replace the whole exhaust now to be sure ))

M5?? You will be disappointed with the sound and you’ll have to go down the same path. I’ve owned 3 different ones including F90.

Put more miles/km.... Mine sounds very aggressive. Idle rev is limited since it won’t rev over 4K RPM.

The spacers fit well, the installer said the driver side cat was more difficult cause there was less room because of hosing/wires but they got it to fit on both sides. I'd imagine bigger normal size spacers would've been even more difficult. Order x2 of them obviously, one for each post cat sensor.
it was the strangest thing I asked them about the spacers and they canceled my order and told me that their products would not work for me I’m not sure why I’m getting this answer but I’m getting those spacers one way or another

I have a 2019 BMW M5 in the family (mom's car) and yeah, if you're after sound that car isn't for you. Everything else is great on the car though.

That is really strange, I had bmc filters and catted dps installed and my C63s is super aggressive. I'll upload a POV in the next couple days.

Although never got confirmation from the shop that this was the right size, just ordered a set based on your review.

Glad you finally got it figured out.

I finally just went for it and got Capristo catless DPs, bmc filters, and weistec stg2 tune that are all being done today at Goodspeed Performance in Scottsdale.
Will report back with results. Excited asf!! Lol

My only debate was to get the extra burble or not. Im going with normal at first, then can add later if i want more. Asking weistec if I can just get both files now for cheaper than adding later possibly.

Nice! After 800 miles or so since the spacers were installed no issues at all. Had the car serviced for 10k miles and no issues. Spacers work as advertised.

most of us that got check engine from Downpipes are going with these from big daddies garage. 2 guys on here so far have fixed their check engine lights with these and I’m getting my set installed on Wednesday. Having my local shop dynocomp throw them on for me so I can’t really tell you how exactly but they told me it should take less than 1 hour to have them installed so not expensive
