short review after downpipe + stage2 installation, c63s coupe
Well, I thought I would tell you my experience after mounting downpipes and optimizing the car with step 2.
OMFG !!
The car now has 600 ++ HP. Far more than I can handle, it is absolutely impossible to use all this power for a person in a RWD car who has no experience in "racing". But this is exactly how it should feel with an AMG V8 biturbo. In total I paid 1850 dollars (downpipes + installation - 1300 dollars / + Optimization stage 2 - 550 dollars).
The sound:
Absolutely ****ing incredible! I love loud engine noise but there is no chance that I would invest in an exhaust system, (I have sports with openable valves) on comfort it sounds quiet and nice, very quiet and nice. In sports + everything changes and hell is revealed, downshifts are completely from another planet and completely unbeatable ... It really is ...
Worth mentioning is that the car stinks of gasoline. At stop lights, the smell creeps into the coupe, this is somewhat annoying, at first I suspect it leaked somewhere but after a second thought I remembered that I was thinking the same as the other cars I have mounted downpipes on.
Thanks!

Good question!
I started a thread about this topic and these usury prices from 2000-3000 dollars .. It's incredible, because the same basic code comes more or less from the same company (as I understand it) suppliers later make som adjustments (to make it their own) and later raises the prices 100+++% ... - It is bull**** if you ask me, but of course it can be good to pay more as some offer guarantees etc ... Who is going to prove what etc if something happens is another question, right?
I ordered the unit from a local optimized who sent the box to me "powergate 3", I then read my code and sent it to England and the modified optimization I received from another company. the process was smooth. The optimization itself took 6 minutes ...
Not sure we have the same tuner, but did you have stage 1 before that? I'm going stage 2 this weekend and I want to be the "Wowed". Numbers say for my stage 1 is 620 and stage 2 is 650.

I had stock from beging, the impression was 100% OMFG - I can´t handle this!
Edit - In the performance viewer i have 700hp?? I don´t remember what it stands stock... Someone that drives stock, what is the maximum on your performance viewer?

Yep that's pretty much true. Only a handful of tuners that write their own code from scratch, good luck OP enjoy the new power! I'm stage 2 with catless DPs as well, car turns from an animal into a monster.
Looks like it is set to read horsepower and torque in Kilowatt and Newton Meters, respectively. I am not sure where you are located, but my car (US) is set up to read hp and ft. lbs. of torque. 350 kW is about 469 hp, and 700 Nm is about 516 ft. lbs.
I couldn't agree more on the prices for tunes on this platform. I have never seen an off-the-shelf canned tune cost $2,000 to $3,000. It is quite absurd.

You have absolutly right, thanks for explaining. This info is then the same as before tuning. (on my previously m4 the numbers changed after tuning)
About the tuning prices,- its pure greed! xD
