New member in miami,need advice

Hey guys just got a 2012 c63 sedan,I had a 2012 is-f which the only thing I miss is gas mileage lol,so I removed carbon filters and put k&n filters and also did xpipe (secondary cats and resonators),somebody I know did a tune here in Miami with filters and intake boxes plus the custom tune he did 457 whp but for $2000 I find that over priced ,I see there is a lot of members with the eurocharged tune or kleeman or renntech ,is there a good place here in Miami to get a good tune for a reasonable price? Am not planning to go with headers but thinking of custom exhaust set up with primary cat delete and xpipe to stock mufflers....please suggestions thanks !!!

eurocharged or OE....both good companies for tunes. Velos is newer but based in miami I think, they also sound good.

so how does the c63 compare to the IS-F...much better? I thought about an IS-F too but i didnt like the sound haha

Some of the vendors/sponsors resell Velos tunes. You could ask them as well.

You have Velos, and Eurocharged at your disposal in Miami.
Im a EC customer. I cant tell you much about Velos as they are new but a search will turn up informative results. Both are able to upload tunes to C63s locally.

For OE tuning..... pm Mikegpr03 (in Miami)as he has a OE tune on his C63 and ask him. Ive driven a OE tuned car and they have a more of an aggressive tune than the EC tune. That be could interpreted as positive or negative, depending on how you like to drive your car.

Moose we need to meet up beer and wings
I came up with a really good way to make our leather look amazing
Takes a day or so of work and saturation but super worth it

Went to test drive a C250 for momma dukes at the dealer and saw a C63 (2013)
My leather looked just as good!
The manager was asking what in the world I did sincey car was an 09 lol

I have a Velos tune and the experience with them was great. The car runs strong and have had zero issues thus far.

I'm also down for any Miami meet ups

So do you have an Xpipe or no Xpipe? in this post you say you have an Xpipe and then in another post you say no Xpipe??? Which is it. If you have no Xpipe there is no way your car is making 457 at the wheels, even on a VERY generous Dynojet.
