Unlock maximum performance from your 4.0L Twin‑Turbo AMG platform with the STRATEC Custom High‑Flow Catted Downpipe & Header System, available in 100‑cell, 200‑cell, or 300‑cell catalytic configurations to match your performance goals.

Engineered for the M177 / M178 4.0TT V8 found in the E63, E63S, AMG GT, and GT‑C models, this system replaces restrictive factory exhaust sections to dramatically improve exhaust flow, turbo efficiency, and throttle response. The optimized header and downpipe design enhances exhaust scavenging, helping deliver stronger mid‑range torque and improved top‑end power.

Precision fabricated from high‑grade stainless steel with mandrel‑bent tubing and TIG‑welded construction, the STRATEC system is built for durability under extreme heat and performance driving conditions.
