Which Mercedes models do the Capristo Sport Catted Downpipes fit?

They fit the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 and GLC 63 S on the X253 chassis, both with the 4.0L twin-turbo V8. They mount at the turbos and work with the factory exhaust or a Capristo exhaust. Confirm your model year against the fitment list before ordering.

What are the Capristo Sport Catted Downpipes made from?

The Capristo Sport Catted Downpipes are hand-built from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, with a 250-cell sport cat in each downpipe. Capristo develops them with 3D scanning and CNC tooling at its German workshop, then mandrel-bends, WIG-welds and polishes each one to a high-gloss finish, the same process behind its exotic exhaust systems.

Do these downpipes keep the catalytic hardware?

Yes. Each downpipe carries a 250-cell sport cat, so they keep high-flow catalytic hardware in the system while flowing far more freely than the Factory Equipment. That makes them a street-minded upgrade that frees up flow and sound without going fully open.

Will the downpipes cause a check engine light?

They can on some vehicles. A freer-flowing 250-cell core changes what the oxygen sensors read, which may set a check engine light. A supporting tune or a set of oxygen sensor extensions clears a recurring light, and the higher 250-cell count tends to keep sensor readings closer to stock than a lower-cell design.

Do the downpipes work with the factory exhaust?

Yes. They are built to work with the factory exhaust or a Capristo exhaust, so you can run them with the stock system or pair them with a Capristo exhaust later. They bolt on at the downpipe position without cutting or welding.

Are the Capristo Sport Catted Downpipes street legal?

No. They are not CARB approved and are not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled vehicles in California or other CARB states. Emissions rules vary by state and country, so check the requirements where you live before buying.

Description

Capristo Sport Catted Downpipes for X253 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 / S

Capristo Sport Catted Downpipes for the X253 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 and 63 S enhance the performance of the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 by improving flow at the turbos while maintaining high-flow catalytic converters. Handcrafted from T309 stainless steel, these downpipes feature a 250-cell sport cat, mandrel-bent construction, WIG-welding, and a polished finish, resulting in better exhaust flow and a richer sound compared to the factory setup, all while retaining emissions compliance. They are ideal for GLC 63 owners seeking premium quality in their exhaust system.

Craftsmanship

Capristo develops the downpipes at its German workshop with 3D laser scanning, CAD modeling and CNC precision, so each one matches the factory routing and bolts in without modification. The tubing is T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, a heat-resistant grade Capristo selects for acoustic clarity, light weight and durability, in the same spirit as the Inconel used at the top of motorsport. Each downpipe is mandrel-bent, WIG-welded by hand and polished to a high-gloss finish before it leaves the bench.

Quality

Employing sophisticated technologies like 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital modeling, and CNC precision, Capristo exhaust systems are meticulously constructed in their respected German workshop. Every component is precisely crafted from the refined T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel and undergoes detailed hand-polishing to reveal a pristine sheen. After thorough analysis, this distinct alloy was chosen for its unparalleled acoustic clarity, advantages in weight reduction, and enduring strength—attributes that mirror the Inconel characteristics observed in elite Formula 1 events.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
