Picked up my C63 507 yesterday!
I've owned a lot of cars over the years but never really seen an MB that I lusted for. They're lovely cars, utmost quality of construction and reliability but from an "it" factor perspective they just never really did it for me. Last week I was driving along the beach and passed my local dealer and they had a C63 507 Edition sitting out and I absolutely loved the look. Pulled in and took it for a test drive and was hooked! Went back and forth with the sales guys for a few days and finally agreed on terms on Tuesday and I took delivery yesterday. It's such an awesome car, so much fun to drive. Been reading a lot here the past week or so and learning as much as I can. Already ordered some clear reflectors to get those awful orange ones off the front and trying to decide on an exhaust for a little more volume without being overly obnoxious. Anyway, here's a couple pics and I look forward learning more here!

Congrats! But head over here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204-93/
This is for the fancy pants w205 guys who have forced induction to get them from A to B. Guys like me brag about my N/A noise in the link provided. See you there!

That Maserati is so good looking. Which sounds better? Good luck with that internal battle, and no, I won't take "it's a tie."

The MC pull at 4:40... splooge.
What was the setup you were using to get the exterior noise with interior camera?
off topic -- sweet sleeve. I've got about 1/3 of my right arm done (black and gray) with another appointment in two weeks to make that 2/3rds.
Also - you said you need to research exhausts. I'll save you from the grumpy old farts who have been here for forever and an a day.. Do a secondary cat and resonator delete. LTH's are pretty loud and require some tuning to avoid CELs and jazz like that. However, secondary cat / res delete doesn't require tuning, no CELs, and definitely livens things up a bit. Just post any other questions you may have that pop up here and I'll check back in and provide threads / links for more details if you want. (Don't get a catback)

Yep nice cars
Also get a eurocharged tune to make that engine alive. You'll hear the blips/crackles/pops that you want.
Is the MC V8 or V10?

Thanks, I just sat for 7 hours Tuesday and had my chest done. Wearing the seatbelt in the C63 has been a monumental pain in the *** (chest) lol!
With regards to the exhaust, that's exactly what I had in mind to be honest I just didn't know how friendly that would be as far as CELs and whatnot. Like I said I love the way the car sounds and don't necessarily want an entirely different sound, I'd just like to bring it to life a little. It's very pedestrian compared to the MC and my truck and bikes haha! I appreciate the input. When you guys have pulled the secondary cat and res do you just have a shop weld up a straight pipe section or are there companies selling something to replace it? On an Aston I had in the past there was a company(s) selling $1200 "delete kits", after seeing some pics on the forums I had my local shop make me the same thing for $48 lol!!
