For more information, visit www.P65warnings.ca.gov.The factory charge-air cooling system on the Mercedes 5.5L V8 bi-turbo engine often struggles with heat soak during aggressive driving or high-ambient temperatures. The CSF 8197 replaces the restrictive OEM plastic and aluminum unit with a high-efficiency all-aluminum heat exchanger designed to lower Intake Air Temperatures (IATs). By utilizing CSF's exclusive B-Tube technology, this unit provides a core efficiency with over a 300% increase in flow area compared to the stock component.

- Ultra-efficient 5mm tall multi-louvered fins for maximum surface area contact
- 100% all-aluminum TIG-welded construction
- CNC machined brackets and fittings for precise fitment
- Integrated all-aluminum race style bleeder screw
- 1-hour mirror finish hand polish
- Individually leak and pressure tested
- True drop-in fit requires no modifications to install
