We’re kicking off the new year with two new additions to our growing Mercedes-Benz AMG cooling product lineup – M157 Auxiliary Radiators and a Front Mount Heat Exchanger for the E63, CLS 63, and more.
Two new part numbers!
- E63/CLS63 High-Performance Front Mount Heat Exchanger (CSF #8197)
- M157 High-Performance All-Aluminum Auxiliary Radiators (CSF #8198)
If you’ve been following along with CSF’s products, you’ll see that we emerged in the AMG market with our W205 C63 AMG Heat Exchanger – it quickly became a #1 seller, so we took its momentum and created a full Mercedes-Benz AMG cooling line.
CSF has mastered the charge-air cooling system, like the one found in new AMG models. The system features a water circuit that flows through the vehicle’s charge cooler(s) and a heat exchanger, which uses the water to cool the compressed air.
E63/Cls63 Front mount heat exchanger (CSF #8197)
Upgrading to a larger, more efficient Heat Exchanger effects the entire rest of the charge-air cooling system – lowering IATs (intake air temperatures), thus creating cooler, denser air for increased power and an improvement in heat soak reduction.
- 1 Row, 23mm Super-High Efficiency Core w/ CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology
- Over 40% More Tubes Than The OEM Heat Exchanger, Resulting in a Core Efficiency With Over 300% Increase in Flow Area and Twice the Cooling Performance
- Ultra-Efficient, 5mm Tall Multi-Louvered Fins for Maximum Surface Area Contact
- 100% All-Aluminum TIG-Welded Construction
- Individually Leak and Pressure Tested
- CNC Machined Brackets and Fittings
- Integrated All-Aluminum Race Style Bleeder Screw
- 1 Hour “Mirror Finish” Hand Polish
- True “Drop-in Fit” Requires No Modifications to Install

m157 auxiliary radiators (CSF #8198)
CSF’s High-Performance Auxiliary Radiators work in conjunction with the rest of the cooling system to reduce temperatures. They not only help keep temperatures in optimal ranges, prolonging the heat soak threshold, but also can be utilized as the heat exchange medium for the charge cooling system.
The included, detachable rock guard offers protection against the build-up of debris, as well as possible core punctures – unlike the OEM auxiliary radiators, which have little protection against the elements.

Hi,
Just want to know if you have heat exchanger for Mercedes GL-63 AMG 2014 please?
We only have Auxiliary Radiators for the 2014 GL63 AMG – CSF #8198
Do you have an upgraded heat exchanger for 2012 cls 550?
Hi Truman,
Unfortunately we do not offer a heat exchanger upgrade for the 2012 CLS 550. We are continually making new products but this is not currently on the R&D List.
Hi i have cls550 4matic 2016 in american spec and I recently bought aux heat exchanger with main heat exchanger from you guys but I can’t find where it should connect because I don’t see factory heat exchanger but only oil cooler and ac condition ! Please lmk where I should line up
Hi Bahromshoh,
The CSF #8197 & CSF #8198 only fit the CLS63 AMG & AMG S. Can you please let us know where you found your fitment information so we correct the error? The CLS550 does have a main heat exchanger – OEM PN: 099-500-28-03. It should be located directly in front of the radiator.
