Hey I'm new to the forum, but was wondering what type of mods you guys all have.

So far I have an afe pro dry s filter, and charcoal deletes on my 2012 c63.

What other mods could i do without voiding my warranty, and I live in California and have to pass an annual smog check so can't delete my cats.. I was thinking an H-pipe or X-pipe next, then an intake.

I am not only looking for more power, but sound and looks too. Also interested in what type of radars you guys are using, and in what area. (I drive about 90% city, 10% Highway)

Let me know some feedback.

Welcome to the forums!
I also have the pro dry filters and could actually see a little difference on the dyno with them in my 09. I took out my resonator and that makes a huge difference on the way the car sounds, I get people asking me all the time if I have a full exhaust kit, it's also rather cheap only cost me $60 to have it straight piped through. As far as looks, depending on the color of you car carbon fiber gives it a great look by replacing a lot of the plastic pieces. I have a carbon diffuser, spoiler, and front air splitter which really makes the car look more aggressive. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you are asking about radar locators I have a Valentine 1, it works great for highway use, but its just alright for city driving it does like to go off quite a bit with automatic doors.

Check out a few of the "stickies."

tune it with a handheld device

Hey yea I hear a bunch of people either using the passport escort or the v1 valentine. I am not even sure about which one I have lol (doesn't have a logo or name), but it goes off a number of times for automatic doors. I have wrapped carbon fiber vinyl for my spoiler and door handle slits, but I really want to get mode carbon parts! (Just money pinching at the moment.) When you deleted your resonators, did you see any and loss in mpg? Also do you have any videos? I might do the straight pipe and delete the resonator, but will this mean that I can't put back the resonator and stock pipes and after the straight pipe did you see any gains in hp and/or torque?

The BS will fly. Find a good local tuner in your area.

You can program out the false bands that automatic doors use. I have mine programmed that way.

I didnt see any drop in my mpg other then just the first few weeks since I was stepping on it harder to hear the new tone. I don't really have any videos, but if you go on youtube I have seen a few there, thats where I got the idea to do mine after hearing some.
My resonator I could put back in if I wanted to. the guy who did it for me left some pipe on both ends of the resonator to where he could re-weld it back in after. There was really no gains with it out, that I could tell, although I didnt dyno the car before I removed it. I know you are probably worried about warranty, but one of the best things for these cars are a tune. I just got a Eurocharged tune with the handheld programmer, There is a huge difference in power, It feels like a whole different car. My rwhp went from 371 to 425.

We still have the handheld and tune on sale for $999!!

To improve the look you can always upgrade the wheels...

As of right now, I didn't want to get a tune just yet. I'll purchase a tune after I finished getting my intake, xpipe, and couple mode carbon parts.

I only have around 5000 miles on the wheels, so I just didn't want to buy new wheels yet.

Also just a sidenote, does anyone know how or if i can get the navigation screen to show how much power output, temp, etc like on the black series for a regular 2012 c63?
