I am not sure if there is a specific method or not, the manual says to look for two handles from the trunk area but I don't have those, is there another way to fold the seats down or was this a specific option the facelifts?

Thanks for any help ,

Is it a coupe or sedan? Sedan should be standard. The "handles' are toward the top of the trunk.

604 C63

Further to this, think underside of the package tray.Never seen a sedan not have them.

Same on coupe . . .

You don't have these? Just snapped a crappy quick pic, but the two little handles on the top of the trunk?

Are you guys sure it's standard on all sedans? I'm positive mine didn't have any handles.

I'll check again tonight after I get back from work (drove the beater today since it's gonna pour).

I tried to lower the rear to see how much difference the exhaust sounds when lowered, couldn't figure how to and did not notice anything like Purple picture above...which would have been very obvious.

For starters, look and see if you can see the split in the seat like that. From behind its unmissable. Handles arent super obvious if you are in a black car for example.

On a few data cards I have seen an option 287 Through-Loading Feature which I think must refer to folding rear seats as our cars only have folding seats as a through loading feature to the trunk. I think that perhaps the folding rear seats may be optional on some C63s depending on the seating options on the car.

ArmoE55

Yup, I need to get my eyes checked. Those two pull handles were there for sure.

Will drive the car tomorrow and see if the exhaust is louder than with the seats up.

Is it louder that much to be noticeable with the seats down?

CarHopper

Yes, yes it is.

Cheapest exhaust mod is folding down the seats.

ArmoE55

Good deal, taking the car out for the first time with seats down since ownership haha.

By the way, your videos and thread with Mike H pipe and Mike's deleted resonator made me bite the bullet, his setup will be arriving on Thursday. I can't wait to hear how the car will be with those installed.

You still love that setup?

CarHopper

^ Which videos? My white or black c63?

I do love it, especially with the seats down. No drone and in C mode the car is as tame as it is from factory, throw it in S+/M and start ripping on it and it is a whole new ball game.

The only thing I would like to add at this point are headers, but just for the power. I'd probably put the resonator back in if I ever got around to doing that. I just don't want to mess with emissions and inspections.

ArmoE55

The white car. You posted a launch vid and also a downshift blip and mini burnout video. That had me hooked immediately on the sound, and I bet it sounds much better in person as most of these vids don't do justice for the sound.

Yea, I'm in same boat about headers. Not only with deleting primaries, but getting a tune as well. I also have factory warranty left and wouldn't touch that stuff until at least after warranty is up. Nobody is touching my ECU til then. Even then, not sure if I want the headache but we will see. The power is all in the headers with this car. This is my weekend/summer car, so I don't mind it being extremely loud.

What brand are you thinking? With the recent MBH headaches, I'm leaning towards MHP with high flow cats or maybe Benzworks, not sure if they're still around.

I just had MHP/ARH headers installed. I couldn't have been happier with MHP and ARH. They answered the phone and emails quickly and worked with me. The sound is insane! Above 2500 rpm it might scare people though. Cruising in C is quiet, especially on the freeway.

ArmoE55

Nice! Do you have any other exhaust mods? I'm getting the Mike H pipe and his deleted resonator pipes installed so it should be fairly loud once that happens... So with the MHP long tubes, it'll be pretty nuts ...just curious if the rest of your system is stock. Thanks!

chrisridebike8

Everything from the resonator back is stock. I can't imagine my setup with a resonator delete too. You might need to recalibrate your version of "loud" with that. Haha.

Lifting this question instead of creating a new thread. I have a 2011 C63 estate with 287 THROUGH-LOADING FEATURE in the VIN.
Do I have folding rear seats as standard or through 287?

All info online is main for sedan / coupe

Norway_amg

Would assume you have the folding rear seats by option 287. But option 287 seems to be standard on estates as I could not find any price for it.

Never seen a estate without the possibility to fold the rear seats (C63 or any other car).

factory rear-seat delete, whatever is there can't fold down either, unfortunately; it's BS, and it's all good, i'm okay with that.

Norway_amg

Option "rear seat delete" might than be your only option to make it as practical as possible 😊

absolutely love the s204c63! wish they offered that here in the states (or if someone imported one here); my wagon is the next best thing to this, a s212.2e63s
