Spools like a different car
Backpressure gone. Boost comes in a full 400rpm sooner and it pulls all the way to redline now. Fitment was dead-on — no massaging, no fighting the O2 bungs.

The details
Unleash the true, uninhibited power of your Mercedes-Benz E550 BiTurbo with the industry's premier exhaust upgrade. When it comes to quality, craftsmanship, and raw performance, nothing on the market touches MBH Motorsports E550 Downpipes.
Engineered specifically to maximize the twin-turbo V8 platform, these downpipes are built to dominate the racetrack. Crafted in the USA from 100% 16-gauge stainless steel using large 3-inch tubing, they are designed to eliminate restrictive factory bottlenecks and endure extreme exhaust heat while delivering massive power gains throughout the entire RPM range.
Factory downpipes create immense backpressure directly at the turbo outlets, choking spool-up and suffocating engine output. By opening up exhaust flow with our unrestricted 3-inch architecture, MBH Motorsports downpipes dramatically accelerate exhaust scavenging and reduce thermal stress on the turbochargers.
The real-world results are proven on the dyno. Paired with ECU calibration, this setup produces a massive 174 horsepower gain and 217 lb-ft torque gain over factory baseline. Low-end torque surges from the stock 430 lb-ft up to an immense 647 lb-ft of torque right around 3,200 RPM. Meanwhile, top-end output jumps from a factory peak of 340 HP to a blistering 498 HP, carrying a stout 476 HP deep into the rev range where stock piping falls off to just 302 HP.
100% 16-Gauge Stainless Steel: Built in the USA entirely from premium 16-gauge stainless steel for maximum longevity and heat resistance.
Full 3-Inch Tubing: Eliminates turbo backpressure to dramatically improve boost response, exhaust velocity, and spool times.
Dyno-Backed Power Gains: Unlocks up to +174 HP and +217 lb-ft of torque when paired with an ECU tune.
Complete Hardware Included: Comes complete with all necessary heavy-duty clamps and hardware needed to get the job done right.
Sedan & Coupe Compatibility: Precision engineered for an exact fit on both Mercedes-Benz E550 BiTurbo Sedan and E550 Coupe models.
Track-Proven Durability: Built to withstand high-boost track abuse and extreme exhaust gas temperatures without failure.
Don't let restrictive factory piping suffocate your twin-turbo V8. Upgrade to MBH Motorsports 3-Inch Downpipes and experience the ultimate blend of American craftsmanship, aggressive exhaust sound, and unrelenting performance.
