Hello all. I recently bought a 2011 C63. I have another car but my c63 has pretty much become my daily driver since it is such a joy to drive. I am extremely tempted to get a Weistec Stage 1 supercharger system installed. is this a wildly stupid idea for a daily driver from a reliability perspective? i will probably do 10k miles/year... maybe 12-13k with track fun.

also, this is a shot in the dark, but has anyone used or known of anyone that has used C2 Design in tampa as a Weistec installer? they are on the Weistec website but a personal referral is always nice.

thanks for any input!

Do it.
Should be factory quality, just way faster.

Agreed...stage 1 and you have a great daily driver.

I would do it. You will love it. Most off all my cars have been SCed. I love it, you will see an immediate increase in power and if you are using it as a DD you will also see an increase in gas mileage with highway mileage..... but.... you will deff burn through some tires with the increase in hp and torque..... but it is a small price to to one of the few with a blower on their C63... Do it.

Does anyone know how the MCT tranny will hold up with the extra power?

Is the Weistec SC Kit worth the money without LTH?
Won't a tune and long tube headers give better results? I presume that with an X-Pipe and a silencer kit the car would still be a comfortable DD.

I don't think there should be any issue with the tranny. I know Mercedes of Buckhead in Atlanta, GA install these kits. If you want I can give you Kevin's contact info and he will give you all the details inside and out.

I think it would be great. Stage I with the stock exhaust intact would keep that factory sound but add some really nice power.

What does the stage I bring the rwhp to? They keep the stock exhaust correct?

You would have no issues having Chris do the install for you at C2... great guy over there.

thanks for all the replies. and here i thought everyone would say it would be a dumb idea as a DD. I guess this is the wrong forum for the voice of reason against getting a supercharger lol. i also want to follow up w my dealer to see how they would feel about servicing a car that had a weistec kit installed.

James, thank you very much for the background there. i sent C2 an email about a quote. i havent heard back yet. ill give them a call and see if I can get some details. based on that other thread i read, it looks like i should go with weistec everything and not mess about with other tunes etc.
