also it looks like those are the cks downpipes Mercedes AMG E63 CLS63 5 5 Biturbo Turbo Downpipes Catless M157 Engine | eBay


I was wondering the same thing! These cars apparently gain so much power just with a tune alone... I'm wondering if the downpipes are just being sold just to make consumers think the downpipes cause these huge gains.
