Upgrade your AMG with these heat-shielded catless downpipes for the Mercedes-Benz M276 3.0L BiTurbo engine. Engineered for serious performance and built to last, these downpipes don’t just free up exhaust flow — their integrated thermal shielding keeps exhaust energy where it belongs: inside the pipe. The result? Quicker turbo spool, cooler engine bay temps, and power that stays consistent even under heavy load.
🔥 Key Benefits
- ✅ Integrated Thermal Shielding: Retains heat inside the pipe to improve exhaust velocity, reduce turbo lag, and protect nearby components.
- ✅ Lower Engine Bay Temperatures: Up to 50% reduction in radiant heat — helps mitigate heat soak of intakes, hoses, and electronics.
- ✅ Catless Design: Maximum exhaust flow for a raw, aggressive AMG tone and quicker boost response.
- ✅ Improved Spool & Torque: Sharper throttle response and stronger midrange pull.
- ✅ Consistent Performance: Less heat bleed = steadier power during spirited driving and track sessions.
- ✅ Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Installs to OEM turbo outlets — no welding or fabrication required.
- ⚠️ Note: May trigger a CEL without tuning (ECU tune highly recommended for M276).
