Exhaust
Hello,
I am looking in upgrading the exhaust for a more aggressive sound. Therefore I would like to know the opinions as I am looking into these systems:
- AGENCY POWER ELECTRONIC VALVE CONTROLLED EXHAUST MUFFLER
- IPE exhaust
- Weistec exhaust system
Thank you.

For a very cheap quick mod you can always delete the resonator and swap in an X pipe instead. This doesn't make the car overly loud but when you step on it it will be a noticeable difference.
Total cost would be somewhere around $200 for parts and labor.

Have you tried removing the secondary cats or the resonator or both? Have you put in headers and have had one of the before mentioned removed? Adding an exhaust will drastically change the "AMG" sound.
If interested still though, a lot of members are going for the valve controlled exhaust. Some simple searching will lead you to some very nice threads about exhausts.
Here is one to get ya started

Will removing the resonator and swapping in the X pipe pass emission?
Thanks!

Removing the resonator has no effect on your emissions. As long as you don't touch the primary and secondary catalytic convertors you will pass. The resonator delete really brings out the character of the engine, without adding drone.

Thanks for the response. Hopefully someone can let me know where I can get this done locally.

Thanks for this answer I wondered if removing secondary cats would affect emissions inspections. If not, does anyone know why we even have those secondary cats?

There are 4 o2 sensors in this car. There are 2 (1 per side) before the primary cat and 2 (again, 1 per side) after the primary cat. Once you're beyond those sensors nothing will have an impact on CELs in relation to emissions.
THAT ALL SAID ---- If you happen to take your car to a shop of up tight people that are **** about inspections they MAY fail you on the exhaust being modded to have no secondaries. However, this is extremely unlikely to happen because 1, most techs don't even care and just plug your car in and voila, and 2, those who know what to look for on the c63 will likely enjoy it rather than give you a hard time.
The only other curve ball is if you live in a sniffer state where they literally put tubes over your exhaust to get measurements. However, the primaries should be fine to get you through that as well.
I just say all this because I don't want some guy to hack up his exhaust and then come blame me if it doesn't pass. Again, 99.9% of c63 with modded exhausts will pass emissions.

Thank you very much for the comments. As for now the exhaust is stock and I think I will go with the following, can you give me some feedback on what would be better:
- delete secondary cat and resonator
- delete secondary cat and resonator and have an Hpipe
Thank you.
- delete secondary cat and resonator

If you search, there are a lot of sound clips out there with the different options. I just did the secondary cat delete with straight pipes, still have the resonators as of right now, and it's plenty loud! It's actually gotten louder over time since first doing it. Here are the links to a few videos, the tunnel being the most recent.
