What's Next?
So i bought my 2014 c63 last sunday. during the week i picked up some bc racing coilovers (temporary), vorsteiner ff-101, jl motoring lip + diffuser + trunk spoiler and boca facelift bumper vents (all sitting at EAS getting installed monday)
going to go with benzworks headers and an oe tune at the end of this month. was wondering what else i can do performance wise to get some more power out of the monstrous v8.
already did the charcoal delete last week
will appreciate any help!

Congrats on the pickup,
Headers and a tune are the main performance upgrades to be had. Airboxes don't seem to be worth the entry fee for the gains. Other than supercharging it, high flow air filters and if you don't have an LSD, certainly get one.
I think you will be happy with the performance of your tune/ header combo
It really unleashes the beast.

So being in Cali... I'd recommend leaving the primary cats. Car already has plenty of pep and will have more than enough with a tune.
Swapping headers every time you need an inspection will get old. I used to do this and just got tired of it to be honest.
Headers + intake + tune is the norm for making power. If you are worried about drag times then focus on weight reduction after that. Otherwise I'd just leave it there unless you wanted to drop the coin for a supercharger.
Sweet car though and happy modding!

I'd just leave it alone, go with a tune and enjoy the car while you can. It's plenty quick for the street.
