If it does come back on, and you have to take it in, I would suggest printing up the Mercedes TSB on the issue and make sure the advisor gets it to the service tech. Mine sat for almost two weeks before they came up with a diagnosis. My part was ordered and received within two weeks. I had the...

Sorry about that, yeah it’s the green with blue stripe. My eyes are horrible. I couldn’t see the blue until I zoomed in on the pic.

It’s a little louder, but not what I was hoping for. It ran fine for the first 50 miles or so, but I got a CEL yesterday for O2 sensor bank 1. I cleared it and installed a “minicat” from fabspeed. After a short test drive the permanent code deleted so hopefully it’s good. I might swap back to...

Before and after Yes it is. I couldn’t get the video to load on the forum.

Got the down pipe installed today. That was a pain in the ass, but after 4 hours I finally got it. I am far from a mechanic so most of the time was spent searching for the right tools and a ton of time was spent trying to get enough room to maneuver the stock down pipe out of the engine bay...

I have a similar timeline. It’s been down for about 30 days in total after 3trips to service. The first trips to the dealer they claimed they couldn’t reproduce the CEL code. They did say the supply chain has slowed down lately in parts. Mine took a week longer than anticipated by Lotus. Did...

got the car back yesterday. No CEL after 60 miles of driving, but they did not follow the TSB per Mercedes. They only flushed one time and only replaced one thermostat. We shall see…. In the mean time I’m gonna swap out the down pipe and install the JB4 tomorrow. (Hopefully)

Yup. 2.0 is the same. That’s where I ran my power cable for the amp. One person in the engine bay and one in the cabin with a coat hanger. Was fairly easy to grab onto it and pull it through.

Yes, the mid pipe I received looks like the photo on their website. And yup, it’s pointless. I ordered it prior to getting under the car to see the 2.0 doesn’t have a “third” cat in the mid pipe. I’m hoping the downpipe opens up the sound a good bit, but we’ll see. I did Catless downpipes with...

It’s still at the dealership. Two weeks so far.

Dropped off at Lotus last Monday. Got an update today; they are starting with swapping the thermostat which should be here by the end of this week.

What dealer are you using? Mine is getting dropped off this morning. I’ll see what they say.

Just in case anyone is looking for info to give the dealer to direct them in the right direction; Here is a TSB from Mercedes addressing the concern in the M139. It’sTSB LI20.10-P-076206...

Well, I gotta delay the install awhile. My CEL came back in for the aux thermostat stuck open. It’s been to the dealer twice for it and both times they said nothings wrong.

I’m fixin to give the install on my i4 a try this weekend. Any tips or pointers?
