Innotech IPE Exhaust
My saturday morning was one that left me torn between decisions on wether if i was going to go ahead replacing the already fantastic AMG exhaust. I suppose it wouldnt hurt to proceed with the fitment of these IPE Innotech Exhaust!
Another reason why i love the estate is because you're able to lug your own baggage to and from the workshop to get them IPE's on.
Will post some decent videos in a couple of hrs or days give the long weekend.

Was fortunate my mechanic was able to complete the installation of everything in 7.5 hours today single handedly.
I have to say though... the C63 sounds absolutely rude and mentally loud in a good way 
it kept a silly grin on my face as i prowl the roads home with no drone

Before i get slagged of... this is NOT a Black Series
Only thing that i have done differently is wired up the system in the rear boot space of the estate when the battery terminal is and have decided not to risk the ECU tap on pin 81 as indicate in their manual to avoid any complications. That way i have either ON or OFF at the press of the button.

I'm utterly loving the IPE system on my vehicle... with the valves closed it sounds similar if not the same as the already awesome stock AMG exhaust BUT with the valves opened it just sounds insane in a good way when you're up for spirited drives.
Hey buddy, in the initial video i had used a wire to clamp the actuators open for the evening as i did not have time to fit the control unit at home. I've just installed the control module and am enjoying the setup.

Hey guys, sorry to thread jack here, but I have the opportunity to buy a iPE Exhaust system for a nice price (and I mean a GOOD price here in Brazil), and been searching for members who have installed it and what's their oppinion about it.
On second topic, I have some other questions, if someone could step in I'd appreciate it:
I plan on putting a Stg3 Weistec SC in the future (maybe 5yr). I've been thinking about putting the FULL iPE exhaust, from headers to mufflers. Any lessons for me on that matter?

I know iPE is a very solid company out there, but I must confess I'm afraid of the droning. I had a SLK 55 AMG with some aftermarket exhaust. On higher rpms, the beast was insane, a neck breaker. But on low rpms, climbing the hill, the droning with the hardtop closed was a tiny step close to unbearable. I had to take the exhaust off, as I couldn't stand the droning anymore.
My doubt for the scholars on exhausts here is: do I get too much droning if I install the full exhaust, from headers to mufflers? I understand iPE already has that option, but I was thinking more like the mid pipe + valvetronic catback.. What do you guys think?

I have the full IPE, I put in 200CEL Cats myself afterwards.
You'd be hard pressed to find ANY aftermarket exhaust which doesn't have some drone when you're climbing up a hill at low RPMs.
I live in Hong Kong, so we have plenty of hills. And I can tell you, yes, it does drone a bit. Is it that bad with the valves closed? No. You just need to drop down a gear or two, and the drone goes away.
If you get just the Catback & Mid-pipe, I reckon that it would "drone" significantly less.

Friend, did you get any different tone with the iPE exhaust, or you still have the unique AMG sound?
