C63 EXHAUST & TUNE DEVLOPEMENT = 12sec pass
We have been working very closley with powerchip australia devolping custom tunes for our C63 exhaust system,there has been over 100 hours dyno testing & 6months of road testing.Working closley with powerchip australia we were able to acess the cam maps & some target torques maps in the c63 pcm,there has been some good results,yesterday for the first time the car was taken to the track in full wieght with street tyres,we were only able to get 3 runs in as it was real busy,we tried a few different ways of getting it down the track
First run was with traction off,there was heavy wheel spin 1st and 2nd,with a 1.8 60 footer we managed a 12.1@116mph
Second run we tried with traction sport mode,we managed a 1.8 60 footer again ,reeling of a 12.24@116mph
The third run we left the traction control on,we managed a 13.2@115.89mph
The runs were with 19inch rims with street tyres,this vehicle also has coil overs and is dropped on its ****,my thoughts are with the std suspension and bit more tweaking a 11sec pass is in the taking,making it a very fast street car ! heres some pics of the exhaust system,i will put up some dyno sheets when i get a chance.

The key element in our headers was the step down pipe to slow the gases down at the collector to increase velocity in the exhaust system,this resulted in some huge torque and power gains in the low end and mid range,even at 1/4 throttle the throttle response was incredible.

With the design of the mid sections there was a few key elements we kept in mind,which we achieved
1 - Good ground clearance
2 - We biult the system to be drone free
3 - We retained the original tips for the stock look
4 - The note iss increadible distinct to the AMG

We designed the system as a bolt on in three peices for easy insallation and removal.

Heres some other c63's we have done

Look good clean work what are the advantages of running straight pipes vs. x-pipe?
It will be nice if you post a sound clip and what kind of paint was use to for the black pipes?

Most of the mercs dont have x pipes,though we did do some in length extensive testing and we wont be using a x pipe as it didnt make or loose any power,though it changed the note,we have what we call a "kiss" pipe,its just a very small kiss to equalise gases which results in a nice note.the exhaust system comes in stainless steel & is painted with high temperature heat paint resistant to 1000deg,all the mufflers are hand made to our specifications,system can be ordered extra loud or on the quieter side.

Also, does any point in the exhaust meet up at the factory resonator location? I can't tell if the black piping with cats or the stainless steel straight pipes will meet up for those that want to retain the back portion of their catback exhaust?
Thanks

Headers on stock system(terrible sound)
Headers & mid section with stock rear mufflers(worst tone i have ever heard)
Stock headers and mid & front section with cat back(not bad tone and some power pickup)
We have even biult a dual 2.5inch system to test as well,we spent many hours and materials,what we have is the best combo for power and sound,i will try and get some sound files and drive by's soon

Its hard to say if they will,i havent had my hands on a SL63,believe me if i do i will be making a system for it ! Howw much rooms in the engine bay and header area in these ? as the c63 is absoloulty tight as to fit the ehaders !!!

Well an ECU tune isn't exactly stock That's our biggest bang for buck mod right there. But in anycase, what was your trap speed and 60' with the 12.28?

i dont know about you guys out in ausi but i ran a 12.1 at 115 with a 1.8XX 60 foot. and that was STOCK.
yes i understand that weather has ALOT of play. but i ran my car at +5500 DA in 95F weather and got 12.0X at 118.XX. that was with a TUNE.
i hope to see faster numbers from that c63 b/c for tune and headers that a lil slow. great work of the fab do. looks good.

Nice 60'! That's very impressive for your first time, especially on street tires. I've been several times already and can't seem to do better than a 2.3 on my 19" street tires. I think my launch technique needs a radical change.

for some reason your cars in the us track quicker then ours.

I have no fuking clue how you guys are getting 1.8-1.9 60 times on street tires. I can't get traction worth **** and if I feather it with street tires, I still can't break 2.0. This is up in Canada though.
What power gains did you get from just the exhaust setup??
