E550 Downpipes

Anyone have downpipes on their 2012+ E550? I see a few companies such as weistec and speedriven make them but doesn't seem like many people have them on their cars

Mine had to drop down engine to do it.
And also, need low profile engine mount to be able to have true 3 inch dp installed.

do you have weistec downpipes? Seems like they are the only company that makes "true" downpipes that bolt to the turbos. Correct me if i'm wrong but it looks like Speedriven and MBH don't bolt to the turbos

I was picturing the "midpipe" as they call it, to remove the cats. I imagine that you'd have to remove the subframe or the engine to get good access to those pipes, yes.
