Air in or air out?
Hey guys... I'm debating between a Renntech carbon intake or a SuperSprint cat back exhaust for my 09 CLS63. Only mods I have are a Eurocharged tune and just got new lightweight rotors all around (not installed yet).
Any thoughts between the 2 on money better spent?
And yes, i know this is the C63 section... lots of traffic and knowledgable guys here Thanks!

From what I read, either would only be a handful of HP... I guess I would prefer the cat back and sound.
I've read that the AMG's from the mid section back have nice flow but not as nice going in. That's why I wonder which would be a better option.
Thanks for the help :-)

Catbackx1000000. Why pay so much for an intake that's only for looks? AMG did a pretty darn good job with our intakes. So how often do you put your hood up? lol. If you have money to spend and don't care, then up to you, but i'd go with the catback. Maybe even an AP one, it's valvetronic, pretty much identical to IPE for much less.

That's cuz people change the mids and secondary cats.....if u leave stock mids and secondary, you can use the headers and it won't be much louder. I had this setup but deleted the secondary for mikes h-pipe .....h pipe with headers sounds awesome. Perfect sound.
The real gem is coupling mbh headers with supersprint mufflers. Supersprint is the same muffler as carlsson.

As for the "gem", funding only allows for a SS cat back or LTH's...

Hands down for headers! But keeping the second cat will limit you maximum airflow. So you wont see as much HP increase as others (catless) would see.

ford svt's, and C63!!!
You would not know anything has changed until you step on the gas more than usual, totally undetectable on the interstate too. it will bark a bit when starting, but that's about the only time you won't really be able to control whether the car is loud or not. I will admit that after my header and cat-less mid-pipe install that there was some very loud "droning" in the interior, but it was because of the aluminum cross-bar coming in contact with the pipes leading into the factory resonator. I simply removed the cross-bar, and have been smiling from ear to ear since.
