Congrats OP on the 507! Awesome machine for sure.
My 2 cents... since you already have a 507, I would suggest keeping it stock unless you are going after numbers or tracking the car regularly. For normal dd'ing, we already have way more hp/tq than what we would actually use (legally
).
That said, a tune with ROW boxes/dry filters will be great. You will not see a huge jump in hp/tq but the tune does offer better throttle response and improved overall driveability. I have the EC tune and row boxes on my regular C63 and so far I'm loving it.
If your car does not have an LSD, invest in that.
If you plan on tracking regularly, invest on the upgraded cooling package. If only dd/occasional spirited weekend drives then not required.
If you're after more sound and power gains then LTH.
Good luck and drive safe!

IMO If its sound ur after...then yeah headers,exhaust is good with bonus HP. As far as power goes my 507 has more then enough. I'm running completely stock at the moment and having troubles with Traction when out at the track. Currently I'm looking for ways to improve traction and stability off the line. Other then some carbon fibre additions for esthetics I'm looking into wider tires 275/30/19 (goodyear super sport)on the rear and possibly renntech or wavetrac LSD. As well looking into upgraded AMG "performance" suspension as opposed to "sport suspension" Any feed back is appreciated.
