FL-2012E550

So I've had this car in the garage for a little over 2 years and I'm interested in upgrading a few things now on a reasonable budget. It's a stock 2012 e550 4 Matic sedan with 50k miles on it. I have upgraded to a 19 inch wheel and tire package is all. My goal would be a 550+rwhp reliable daily driver. Where should I begin?

I was thinking of a Vivid Racing ecu tune but that's all I've really looked into so far.
Can anyone make suggestions on exhaust, intake, headers and any other upgrades that might help me?

Just do headers a downpipe and a ECU tune and it should get you close but not quite there

Yes I had already determined that but from where? And at a reasonable price.

RennTech's latest tune does 540hp/705tq... a bit pricey, but this week they're doing 10% off for Black Friday. I'm about to send in my ECU today.

I did the speedriven downpipes, catback and IC pump and am happy. I posted a review in here about it. Tune next, maybe. I would say that combo would get you ~500whp, which is MORE than enough.

Thanks. Any other shops that are making 550 parts that you know of?

I think most that performance shops that service the W212 AMG cars have at least a tune. I've been impressed with the speedriven team - they are very responsive and know their stuff.
