This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G 550 came into SS Customs for a full range of performance upgrades and maintenance services, with a focus on improving exhaust flow, cooling efficiency, braking performance, and overall drivability while maintaining daily reliability.
he vehicle received a carefully planned combination of performance parts, tuning solutions, braking upgrades, and routine service to ensure everything works together as intended. This type of setup is common among G-Wagon owners who want noticeable improvements without sacrificing long-term dependability.
Exhaust Upgrades: Capristo Downpipes and Valved Exhaust
One of the primary upgrades on this G 550 was the installation of Capristo downpipes along with a Capristo full valved exhaust system. This setup improves exhaust flow while giving the driver control over sound levels.
The valved exhaust allows for a quieter and more refined driving experience during normal use, with the option to open the valves for a more aggressive exhaust note when desired. This configuration is popular among G-Wagon owners who want improved sound without constant cabin noise
Intake and Cooling Improvements
To support the increased exhaust flow and overall performance, this G 550 was also upgraded with the following components:
- Black Boost Performance intake system
- Black Boost upgraded intercooler
These upgrades help improve airflow and manage intake temperatures, which is especially important on turbocharged platforms. Proper intake and cooling improvements support consistent performance and future tuning.
Renntech ECU and TCU Plug-and-Play Systems
To optimize engine and transmission behavior, this vehicle was equipped with Renntech ECU and TCU plug-and-play systems. These upgrades improve throttle response, power delivery, and transmission performance without requiring permanent modifications.
Plug-and-play tuning solutions are ideal for owners looking for reliable gains while maintaining serviceability and flexibility.
Front and Rear Carbon Brake Upgrades
With increased performance comes the need for improved stopping capability. This G 550 received front and rear carbon brake upgrades, providing stronger braking performance and improved heat management.
Brake upgrades are especially important on heavier vehicles like the G-Wagon, where additional power and weight place greater demands on the braking system.
Maintenance Services Completed
In addition to performance upgrades, SS Customs completed several essential maintenance services, including:
- Liqui Moly fluid change
- Differential service
- Brake fluid change
Routine maintenance using high-quality fluids is critical to the longevity of any performance-oriented vehicle. These services help ensure reliability and proper operation after upgrades are installed.
