Beckers catless downpipes for $199

I haven't heard of this company before, but finally a pipe that's a price that's logical. It says X6 N63 only, but I thought they were all the same.

Here's another that says X6 M Sport, but still says N63 engine. When I mentioned X5M, they said it's incompatible, but once again I thought they were all the same. I mentioned I couldn't find the companies website and asked about an X5M/S63 variant, but haven't gotten a reply yet.

Not the same. And buyer beware... eBay performance parts are typically not quality.

There are examples of Akropovic, Turner, Active Autowerks, etc downpipes not being the best fitment, no flex sections, etc. Paying $1400+ for 2 pieces of 3' piping is stupid and laughable...it's the perfect example of being taken advantage of because of the badge. I've never heard of Beckers but their exhaust systems have good reviews on Mercedes Benz forums. As you said, apparently the N63 and S63 are not the same and/or just different enough, so I'm waiting for the seller/manufacturer to get back to me. EBay doesn't manufacturer anything China makes them and Americans sell them...much like Boeing. Ebay also sells AR and Akropovic, so saying "eBay performance parts" is moot.
