C63 tune question?
hello members, i have a 2009 C63 amg, i know the 2009 model has a headbolt issue, most people replace the headbolts on it, but my car seems to drive perfect, i want to tune it and get long tube headers and exhaust for a little extra horse power.
what i want to know is should i just tune it and replace exhaust on it and drive it with the same headbolts or should i replace the headbolts first?
the thing is if its not nessecery to replace the headbolts i dont want to do it, its like the saying goes if its not broke dont fix it.
what are your opinions on this? is it really important to replace headbolts or should i just go on with the tune and aftermarket stuff?

the last thing i want is for anyone to lift the head to change the bolts and mess up the timing and leaving me in even more problems, thats why i was asking if its really that necessary.

As others have mentioned, the head bolts can be a ticking time bomb, but if you want to DIY the head bolts, after a quick search I pulled up this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...swap-m156.html

If it’s not eating coolant then you don’t have a head bolt issue yet. You can just wait until it starts eating coolant. Why not do the tune and headers? Also the header install isn’t easy at all, so if you are worried about not having a good Mercedes tech around you should be worried about the header install.
