M156 upgrades: camshafts, intakes and cooling

Our main M156 performance upgrades are the Complete M156 Billet Camshaft Kit and our cold air intakes for the C63 (204) and E63 (212). The intakes are plug and play. On stock vehicles our intakes have shown 8 to 30+ hp gains.

For cooling, our wide open thermostats keep coolant flowing through the radiator at all times and are listed for every M156 model we support. We also make a coolant wide open thermostat bypass and a billet oil filter cap for the M156 and the M159.

Our thermostats are designed for racing applications and are not recommended for use in very cold weather.
