You didn't search. There are answers in both of those threads.

AMG893 ran them. I spoke to him via pm. He seemed to like them and they made good power. He made the typical power from headers with them. Seems like a good cheap alternative. I ended up getting a used set of mbh headers and mid pipes, but I def considered them. Only thing with them is I don't believe they bolt up to the stock piping. Needs to be welded I believe.

No, you didn't search. It was just discussed less than a month ago, and a link with more information. Both here. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...questions.html

Seriously, it's not hard to search.

yes I read those threads there is absolutely zero information on xforce headers on there from people using them.

fit finish, type of welds,install ,sound,drone or dynos on them.

only thing those threads said is some people use them and absolutely zero first hand experience with them.

please show me I must of missed it.I didn't even see a picture of them installed or what they look like in person.

how are the welds etc.

the only thing that threads talks about is you posting plenty of people running them.

Well, this:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...questions.html




Leads to this:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...xperience.html





Which gets you your answers in those links.

Or maybe try posting in one of the existing XForce threads. Because people who have searched tend to subscribe and post any follow-up questions in those threads.

All this thread does is clog the forum and make searches more difficult for people like you.

send that guy a pm he told me quality was good and holding up well no issues after 5 k miles when I talked to him. I know they have a catback that bolts up but I also talked to a guy that was selling it cause it significantly changed the sound to less Amg growl it's all what you prefer. I don't think it sounds bad full kit but def different compared to most. What I was saying was if you just run headers only needs welding. I did not see a header midpipe combo that bolts right up to stock resonator maybe I'm wrong.

yes I did see that.the only reason I was looking at xforce was because I don't want to cut any of the OEM setup.

I got a quote from a vendor here and it was like 6700 for a full setup without using any of the old exhaust.

I think that is a complete rip off and not worth it.xforce is around 2100-2500 for a full setup but I guess it's not that great from the threads.

it was like the guy was trying to post for us to see the results but people just kept hounding him that it was cheap China headers and will crack etc.

DPE in Australia are next cheapest and also perform well from reports of other cars in the past. Maybe try them?

For midpipe etc tbfh i'd just have one fabbed up at the local exhaust shop with mandrel bent piping etc.

IPE do headers with mid-pipes. It bolts up to your stock resonators. No cutting or welding required.
You can also get the IPE Valvetronic rear section if you want.
