2018 AMG C43 SEDAN EC Stage 1
eurocharged stage 2 tune questions

I currently have a EC stage 1 tune and am considering going to stage 2. Coming here for anyone who has experience with the stage 2 tune and any implications they have ran into. Or if there are any modifications i may need to make before going stage 2. I have read that having a stage 2 can cause more frequent misfires and with it being a more aggressive tune, smaller things such as spark plugs can be very important. any input/comments are welcomed

I think Stage 2 is more for downpipe MOD. Do if you have removed your Cats, then Stage 2 helps your car understand that and helps with the increase in power. With the stock cats, I think you will won't benefit from Stage 2.
I could be wrong but I know my car didn't like a very aggressive stage even with Armytrix exhaust.

my reasoning was there was a 30 hp bump to the stage 2 for only $300 so i figured why not. but not worth it if im not going to see that performance unless i have catless downpipes
