3) The welds (?) on these downpipes leave a lot to be desired. I'm not impressed. Attention to detail matters - for me at least.

4) To me (this is personal opinion) installing downpipes without ecu/chip/flash tune is a mistake. I would wait for a proven combination of downpipes+software.

5) Lusso, please post dyno charts establishing the claimed gains.
I just got my S63, but my understanding is the DME for the S63 will automatically adjust for bolt ons (intake, exhaust and downpipes).

I could be wrong, still learning a lot about the motor. On the S65, I think there will be minimum gains without a tune. Also to add, I'm guessing this part is no different than the current S63B44TO downpipes. I'm not surprised a vendor has already released these bolt ons.
