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
The Mercedes GLS63 AMG is the ultimate heavyweight luxury SUV, offering 7-passenger capacity paired with phenomenal M157 V8 performance. However, the factory exhaust system creates severe bottlenecks that choke the 5.5L biturbo engine's true capabilities. Whether you are towing a heavy load, hauling the family, or chasing more power, MBH Motorsports GLS63 Downpipes are engineered to eliminate these restrictions by upgrading the factory piping to a high-flowing 3-inch diameter.
When mated with proper performance ECU tuning, these downpipes allow the twin-turbo V8 to breathe freely and unlock monster power. This system completely transforms your GLS63 into a hyper-aggressive luxury SUV capable of leaving dedicated sports cars and rival performance vehicles in the dust.
As with all flagship MBH products, these downpipes are proudly handcrafted in the United States using premium heavy-duty 16-gauge T-304 American stainless steel. Beyond the exceptional build quality and extreme thermal endurance, we engineered this system for maximum convenience. Designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, this exhaust system can easily be installed in about an hour using basic hand tools with zero custom fabrication or cutting required.
Monster Power Gains: 140+ hp 175+ tq with tuning. Alleviates extreme factory backpressure to unlock massive horsepower and torque when paired with an ECU tune.
High-Flow 3-Inch Tubing: Upgrades restrictive factory piping to smooth, 3-inch diameter tubing for maximum exhaust gas velocity.
Enhanced Utility & Performance: Drastically improves low-end torque for towing while delivering aggressive top-end power.
1-Hour Bolt-On Installation: Precision-engineered for a seamless, direct bolt-on fitment that installs easily with simple hand tools.
USA 16-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel: Proudly hand-fabricated in the USA for lifetime durability and flawless structural integrity.
Engine: Mercedes-AMG M157 5.5L V8 Biturbo
Chassis: Mercedes-Benz GLS63 AMG (X166)
