Wow!! I'm a Merc fanatic, I'd probab;y understand why I would choose a Merc over a Porsche. But what was your reason behind the move?
I was a BMW owner for years but I never had the chance to own the big NA V8 M3 so I switched to Porsche and what a difference that was I love them. I thought I'd never change from Porsche but in the back of my head I still wanted the big V8, started looking for the C63 specifically the 507, 2 months later I found it..
The car looks fantastic! How many miles are on it? You had it shipped open carrier? I couldn't stand the thought of that when I bought my BS. I had it shipped enclosed from Georgia to Texas. The extra cost was worth the piece of mind.
+1 to Dr Beasley's for matte paint care. I use their products exclusively on my mine.
If you're keen on removing the resonator, I'd recommend removing the secondary cats at the same time and having the exhaust shop weld in a H crossover. That way you can maintain the AMG bark. There is an existing H crossover in the resonator, but that is rendered useless when you take off the resonator. Mike on here sells the full kits for resonator and secondary cat delete, just fyi.
ive had good luck w dr beaseleys care for matte finish.
+1 same here....welcome to the club
You will find several posts on the clear side markers. I'll be putting mine in as soon as it gets a little warmer, i think I paid less than $30 for them from Ebay seller Fishcake

Thanks, love the car! I bought it sight unseen from North Carolina shipped to Tucson, AZ. $1400 to ship, I was a bit bummed it was open carrier but it seemed the enclosed wasn't an option.
As far as the exhaust mod goes, from everything I read the resonator delete was the preferred mod that would keep the "bark"

I don't think that's right. Removing the secondary cats keeps the sound the same but the volume gets louder. Removing the resonator without adding an H pipe as well changes the sound to something less AMG.

removing resonator will introduce some rasp and change the AMG bark. Removing sec cats is what you want, will make the car louder and same noise. Here is a video a couple of the members on here made so you can hear the difference between the two.

I played with all the various exhaust mods. And secondary delete for a h pipe, res delete for straight pipes. Did indeed keep the AMG bark. Fair warning though. For some reason the 2015 cars weigh more than a 2014 or earlier coupe. No confirmed reason. But my car is waaay quieter cabin wise then a bud’s 2013 coupe. With his exhaust mod. You could definitely hear the increased volume. But on my car. I had to lower the back seats to really experience it.
That said I have always loved driving cars where you could hear the exhaust throughout the rpm. So even a stock Ferrari would not suffice for me. It would need exhaust work.
Finally ended up with long tube headers. And it completed the Amg package for me.
