Member intro + installed ROW airbox and some other goodies!
Hey guys i picked up the C63 Aug 1st and today the modding officially started! Here was my B8 S4 that i sold to pick up the C63. I was running the GIAC stage 2 software as well as AWE pulley and pretty much everything you could possibly do to the car besides upgrading the supercharger. I definitely miss it but at the same time i don't.
I flew out to Albuquerque, NM and drove the beast back and let me tell ya it was probably the most beautiful yet terrifying drive considering you were canyon driving majority of the way and it was raining etc
I received my ROW airbox today as well as smoked side markers, afe drop in filters, and aznoptics 5k eyebrow LED's. All i can say is the ROW airbox + drop in filters are definitely worth it... i'm still surprised how much more responsive the car is as well as how the car changed in tone. I also love the fact that by changing just the side marker and eyebrow bulbs how it changed the look.

Welcome !!!
Nice S4 you had. What model year? And how much power were you putting down?
To be honest I was kind of surprised when I saw the pre-FL C63. I was expecting at least a FL. I'm pretty sure you are missing the audi interior?
Looks really nice, congrats on the new ride. I'm a little jealous of your side markers I may have to buy me a set.. my brother had an S4 he still dreams about it. Thanks for sharing the pictures

Thank you sir! It was a 2011 with 30k miles. If i ran the car in race mode (E85 + 91 octane mix) the car made around 500 hp. People were running 11.6 1/4 mile with the same setup as me. I would of loved a 2012+ C63, however they're still a bit much for my blood and plus this 2009 C63 i picked up only has 27k miles and had the optional LSD which i had to have! I do miss the interior a bit, however i LOVE the AMG seats and i'd pick those over the Audi interior any day.

Do it! It was only $45 shipped and even came with the stealth chrome bulbs!
Wow man congratz.. that S4 price probably could have made it close to the 2012+ FL. Like maybe you should have searched more? Anyways glad to see another insane lover of the AMG cars. Welcome home.
Welcome! That is a sweet S4. Glad to hear about the ROW air boxes and the filters--doing that mod next weekend!
Thanks! You'll love it after it's all done

But I can't help but love on your S4. Why did you let her go? Someone sure got a sick car.
Thanks! I was just bored of it and because it's so hot here in PHX forced induction is useless during the summer. Plus i've always loved the tone of a V8!

Thanks! My 2011 S4 Premium Plus with 30k miles only KBB'ed for $33k bone stock so i sold the car for $40k with all the mods. A 2012 C63 with 21k miles goes for $48k (looking on autotrader) which was way out of my price range, and for some reason i think the 2008-2011 C63's look a lot more aggressive which i love!

That did not occur to me and makes sense. You had me baffled.
You have good taste and clearly know how to mod. I look forward to seeing your progress on your new acquisition. I think you picked the best color.
My car is bone stock so I won't try to act like I know, but I have to say one thing in the beginning of your journey. Get a baseline dyno of the car first. Performance modifications seem to yield little to no real hp performance gains and I've read in multiple threads about adding this and that without knowing where they started. I would also speculate that there are MANY companies that produce this intake, that exhaust, and this tune in hopes to lure AMG wallets willing to spend and take their word for "claimed" results that do nothing above what the engineers at AMG already made awesome. It really irritates me too.
That Audi was nice! Love the silver arrow too! I got my ROW boxes last week too from Weistec. Looking forward to installing them with the new filters. Welcome to the AMG family and MBWorld forum.
That is one of the nicest S4 I've seen!! Welcome to the AMG family!! I've already checked out a couple '12 S4's for my wife's daily, but have yet to decide on the color. One is a moon grey and the other black. Seeing your S4 makes my choice easier

It's pretty funny, because i've never liked silver cars before however for some reason i think the C63 looks amazing in silver hence why i got it!
