Full 3" exhaust system made with 304 stainless. H-pipe with a set of resonators and a titanum axel back. No mufflers made it pretty loud! Although I do love the sound! I don't think the wife and kid will like being in the car for out cottage trips lol so I'm thinking of adding a set of titanum mufflers. Should quiet it down just enough.
Edit: added a cold start clip, will try to get some drive by sound clips soon.
Hopefully the weather gets better soon! Got some welds going on with some drag radils to help me get into the 10s..
Thanks for sharing this! looks like a great replacment for the crappy Weistec reservoir..
I will be going this route as well! Is there anything else needed that you'd recommend to go along with this? Thanks again

12' W204 C63 AMG coupe "T-Rex", 12' W451 Smart Fortwo Pulse (99' W202 C43 AMG + Ultima Can-Am sold)
Went for a B service today. Brake fluid flushed and renewed, with Goodrich stainless braided hoses installed front and rear. The pedal has a better feel and is harder. Also installed two new 19" Conti MO front tyres. The previous ones were 10 years old and OE. The vehicle only has 35k kms on the clock which explains the age of the tyres. The rears were changed a year ago.

Reason: Mistake in age
This looks great!
What air filters are these? I am going to shamelessly follow your lead.
Every time I'm ready to start, i keep getting shipment notifications from VRP. I'm on shipment/package #6/7 and i don't know if I've gotten everything yet. So all of this for me still sits in the living room in boxes.

Thank you!
Spectre 3" air filters. Yeah there's lots of hardware on the kit, best thing to do is to start assembling the main unit and make inventory on what else you need.

That’s not your permanent air filter setup, is it? That’s going to really impact performance with the filter element sitting open right over the headers like that…

I also think the vents are actually going to make it worse due to pulling hot air from the headers and radiator right into the filters. 🤷♂️

I've got a vented hood, the intakes sit directly beneath the vents to suck fresh air from the outside.
The prototype car was also only seeing 100* intake temps cruising and 117* at WOT with a small coolant reservoir. I'll be adding a Weistec trunk tank with 3/4 lines.
The Gen 5 Whipple is pretty efficient at keeping low IAT's.

Ah ok I see. Those kind of louvers pull air out from under the hood due to the way they’re shaped. The air running over the surface of the hood creates a low pressure area and pulls air up and out, no cool air will be getting in there. I might rethink the design and add scoops there instead, or do something like what Dad’s did with his hood. As the poster above says, that’s just going to pull hot header and radiator air directly into your intake more effectively.
Promised to show the cold air intake for w204 C63 a while back, but life kinda got in the way so I raise you v0.8 still some parts of it missing but soon going to be finished by my friends at Black Boost, before anyone asks it runs around 500hp on the wheel.
Interesting. Is this a custom one-off or something that BB will sell?
