Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipes – Catted & Decat Performance Exhaust Upgrades

Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipes – Unlock the Full Potential of the M177 V8

The Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S (W205, 2015–2021) are powered by the legendary 4.0L V8 BiTurbo M177 engine. With stock outputs of 476 HP in the C63 and 510 HP in the C63 S, these AMG machines are already blisteringly fast. However, the restrictive OEM downpipes limit exhaust flow, turbo efficiency, and ultimate tuning potential. Upgrading to a performance Mercedes W205 C63 AMG downpipe is one of the most effective modifications to unlock hidden horsepower, achieve quicker throttle response, and deliver an aggressive AMG exhaust note.

Why Upgrade to a Performance Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipe?

OEM downpipes are built to meet emissions and noise regulations, which restrict airflow and reduce performance. Installing a performance downpipe provides multiple benefits:

• +40–90 HP on stock turbos.
• +100–150 HP when combined with Stage 2 ECU remapping.
• Faster turbo spool – reduced backpressure allows quicker boost response and improved acceleration.
• Lower exhaust gas temperatures – critical for high-performance builds.
• Enhanced AMG exhaust tone – catted provides a refined sporty sound, while decat unleashes a raw motorsport roar.

Types of Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipes

We offer a variety of Mercedes W205 C63 AMG downpipes tailored for different setups and driving needs:

Catted Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipes

Catted downpipes feature high-flow sports catalytic converters that balance emissions compliance with improved performance. Perfect for daily-driven AMG builds in regions with emissions testing.

Decat Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipes

Decat downpipes eliminate catalytic converters entirely, delivering maximum exhaust flow and power. Ideal for track-focused builds, dyno runs, and unrestricted environments.

Material Options: Stainless Steel & Titanium

The choice of material for your Mercedes W205 C63 AMG downpipe impacts durability, weight, and thermal efficiency:

• Stainless steel downpipes – cost-effective, corrosion-resistant, and durable.
• Titanium downpipes – ultra-lightweight, premium motorsport-grade finish, and superior heat management.

Mercedes W205 C63 & C63 S Compatibility

Our Mercedes W205 C63 AMG downpipes are engineered for both variants of the M177-powered AMG C-Class:

• C63 AMG Downpipes – optimized for 476 HP versions.
• C63 S AMG Downpipes – designed for 510 HP models with enhanced tuning capabilities.
• Compatible with both sedan and wagon configurations.

Performance Gains with Mercedes W205 C63 AMG Downpipes

Upgrading to performance C63 AMG downpipes yields measurable performance improvements:

• +40–90 HP from downpipes alone.
• +100–150 HP when paired with Stage 2 ECU mapping.
• Sharper throttle response and significantly reduced turbo lag.
• Improved top-end power and aggressive AMG exhaust sound.

Stage 1, Stage 2 & Hybrid Turbo Builds

The Mercedes W205 C63 AMG platform responds exceptionally well to tuning when paired with upgraded downpipes:

• Stage 1 – catted downpipe + ECU remap for smooth, road-friendly gains.
• Stage 2 – decat downpipe + performance intercooler + custom mapping for maximum AMG power.
• Hybrid turbos – 3.5-inch downpipes designed for ultra-high-performance builds exceeding 800 HP.

Choosing the Right Diameter

Choosing the correct downpipe diameter ensures optimal performance:

• 3.0-inch downpipes – ideal for Stage 1 and Stage 2 setups.
• 3.5-inch downpipes – recommended for Stage 3 builds and hybrid turbo applications.

All Mercedes W205 C63 AMG downpipes are designed for direct bolt-on installation with OEM-style fittings and gaskets.
