Howdy folks! I think it’s fair to start a new thread, apart from my previous one. Which was for my PFL 11-C63.
Last year (2019) I purchased my second w204 c63, which took just around 12 months of daily search, which finally paid off. Woke up one morning and the seller just listed this fully stock, minus secondary cats and resonator delete, two owners, 2013+, zero accidents or damage reported. Diamond white exterior with a two tune interior with 39k miles. (I originally wanted a black leather interior, but the two tone interior won me over). I also wanted one with under 30k miles but that was a pipe dream. If they did come up for sale they were sold within days.
For now, or for last 7 weeks I’ve been waiting on my first mod, MBH LTH, mid pipes, and an x pipe. And it’s finally here. And before I bore you death, here is some eye candy of my current c63 and the goodies that came in today.

Great find, beautiful C63!
Love my MBH headers as well and the sound is fantastic. I do have 200 cell cats in the mids so yours will be slightly louder. Can't help but get on the loud pedal now and then just to bask in the sound. Very indulgent but so satisfting...lol
Enjoy!!!
Isn't white is a bit delicate for the interior? But otherwise very nice ride
it’s really not. If its quality leather, material. The interior is two tone as well. The white section is a slightly off white as well. Which helps. Here are some pics, which wont due half the justice of how good they look in person, along with the diamond white exterior.

I love this interior, wish my car had it.
A mates C250 estate had this combo and always liked it.
Got the car back today. MBH LTH, mid-pipes and X-Pipe are on there. We had to do some fabrication on the rear end as well.
The car definitely sounds like its in race mode. Low rpm 2-3k just sounds deeper and meaner. WOT = F1 vibes.
I am disappointed that the car was, and is making all sorts of “metal to metal” sounds. As well as grinding noise. At lower speeds, it sounds like the rotor is hitting the brake dust shield. At least its producing that sound from somewhere. Problem fixed. - cross brace was rubbing against the exhaust.
I came home and noticed the firewall heat shield by the header was nearly resting on the header. I pushed it back the best I could, and that fixed 50% of the rattle noise.
The annoying sound that’s identical to rotor rubbing against the brake dust shield is still there. It’s there mostly at lower speeds when steering to the right. I checked the brake dust shields and attempted to create extra space but that didn’t help at all.
I plan to have it back on the lift on Monday. We’ll see.
some pics,

See the cross brace that goes across the chassis under what used to be the pipes leading to the resonator? You are rubbing on it. You will need to remove it or space it down much lower than it is. It looks like the driver's side pipe is hitting for sure. MBH does not put a bend it their X-Pipe to clear it. I just left mine off.

I’m getting the car on the lift today at the house. Taking that brace off was my first step. It’s gonna be a long day.

I thought oem system was stainless.
The previous owner did something weird in that section. For time being I’m running it the way it is until I get a titanium exhaust.

Correct.
