Background info:
Asking because I am considering Stage 1 on my 2018 S450 Coupe 4matic (m276.824 and the 500Nm 725.048 gearbox). Just installed the pre-facelift S63 coupe exhaust on it (bolt on except the flaps, which I kept open because on the s63 are vacuum activated and mine are electric); will be installing blow-off valves, the wagner tuning intercooler, and considering deleting the secondary cats and keeping the H pipe (images below) which as it seems were not present on the pre-facelift of the car - same engine and tune, but called S400. Not sure if any of the usual intakes will fit my car, will have to take some measurements. The car has almost 50k miles on the clock and will be changing now spark plugs, trans oil, diffs oil, and finally adding cera tec with the oil change.

He advised to add a few gal if E85 and out in about 4gal and too off with 91 octane gas. (91 is all we get out here in So Cal) Up until last month everything else is stock. Installed BMS intake system and have noticed the turbos spooling up quicker. The Eurocharged tune adjusts to the intake change and I have been driving the **** out if it and am about to turn 50k miles. I purchased extended warranty and service plan from dealer and car has been in for all scheduled services. I have had zero problems and the car feels strong as ever. I previously owned a 97' 993 tt modified to GT 2 spec up until my divorce 10 years ago and was looking fir something to fill my itch. I wanted style, class and something fairly quick that got good gas mileage as I daily drive mine through the freeway hell of Los Angeles. I'm fortunate that I usually can pick the time if day I drive through Los Angeles and most if the time I'm beating traffic out of Los Angeles. I made some mods for my enjoyment, Pan-American grill, front splitter, carbon fiber rear spoiler, sound system upgrade and sound deadened doors and from rear seat back to the rear end for comfort. Sound deadening is probably the best thing I did. It made a huge difference in drive comfort. I don't have the sport seats and can't complain. I drive my car very spiritidly and have no problems putting on almost 40k miles. These pussies who say, "oh this car is not meant to be driven like a race car" need to pull their ***** out of their wives purse and put them back on and drive their car like a man! I know this thread is old but thought I would give you my experience with this car. Hope this


helped.
