Curious about the whole LSD thing. It's absolutely insane MB didn't equip all C63s with them from the factory.
Having said that, is the reason people go aftermarket on non-LSD cars because the MB OEM one is so expensive? Or because it's not that great and the alternatives are better?

Don't waste your money with cat deletes. Just save and go with headers. I have primary/sec cat deletes, and am getting my ARH LTH installed this month. Should’ve done that from the beginning.

So get headers but keep the sec cats and resonator? OR are you saying you are getting a full system?

Resonator is up to you, some people prefer the sound with resonators, some don’t. I prefer non resonated. But again, that’s subjective.

If your going to get headers and need to pass emissions your going to have issues with Eurocharged, Weistec Etc. I have a tuner that can pass emissions with headers (PM if you want info)
ROW’s are a great mod. I would buy a complete kit not drop in’s VRP sells. ECS tuning has a great kit with filters and brand new MAF sensors. Also Intake spacers are dumb. Might as well add pops and bangs to your tune. Does the same thing in terms of adding power. NOTHING.
As for headers. MBH makes a great product but their customer service sucks. They don’t answer email questions. ARH are also amazing. Contact GZIM on here, he can get you a great price. Also, don’t chop up the exhaust and spend money twice. Save up for the headers. Xpipe takes away the AMG bark. Leave the OEM resonator alone. All the signature AMG exhaust comes from that. The stock mufflers are like megaphones. I’ve had both headers. I like the way the Tri-Y header sounds. The ARH sounds more raspy and tingy imo.
If your going to do suspension, springs would be just ok. The ride is meh. And you can never get the alignment right. Save up for KW’s imho.
Limited Slip Diff I would get wavetrac and be done with it. Great system and their customer service is awesome.
The TB kits are great but I have yet to see an independent back to back dyno. Besides the dual 74mm are way more than enough for N/a.
E85 kit is awesome but I would wait till you finish everything else. Also go with Eurocharged kit. They sell the correct injectors 550cc and the kit is way better built than e flex fuel.
After all that you basically maxed out N/a. It’s either nitrous or supercharger. 100 shot puts you on par with weistec stage 2.

Its alwasy worth your while to do some research on things you buy for your car. Lots of times its best to go right to the manufacturer. Do yourself a favor and stay away from the non-performing mods. ROW airboxes and intake spacers are completely stupid. I designed some airbox spacers over 10 years ago and it ended up being a waste of good aluminum. They made ZERO horsepower. Stay away from any intake mod for the most part. Renntech, a company i do not care for is the only airbox/air intake I've ever seen make power on the dyno.
If you are are looking for an E85 kit just get it from eflexfuel.com its the same kit that others rebrand
As for headers, Get the real ones, they are made 100 times better, than the chineses knock off sold by people who would probably try to sell you fake power adders. Plus they cost about the same but with a much better warranty
This site has a lot of manufacturers that make good stuff, go directly to them otherwise you're just dealing with a reseller.
