aftermarket,its a kit that comes with a switch and some other devices that you hook up to your asr unit that located under the hood on the passenger side , follow the procedure and you can have an option of disengaging your asr at will.

My '95 S320 has the ASR delete as did my '92 r129 500 and my CL500.

First, disengage the ASR. You will know when it is correctly disengaged by the yellow triangle that appears in your instrument cluster.
Place the car in the B1 position by manually moving all the way into the "B1" position.
Now, stand on the gas.
For a prolonged effect hold the brake slightly.
