e63s amg turbo/tune questions
Hello i am new to the forum, looking to get into a 2019 e63s sedan very soon. selling another vehicle at the moment. Just had a few questions on the car .
use for the car will be daily driver, not going to strip.
I plan to tune car, downpipes, race filters, and maybe a turbo upgrade either stage one or stage two (Pure turbo), feel free to voice your opinions please.
Brakes... regular or the carbon ceramic ? and why. I have seen the pricing on carbon replacements and its scary. But if they last a long time it could be worth looking into.
Mods... what are the tuned guys on here mostly going with (what tuner)
what downpipes ?
As far as the turbo upgrade mentioned above has anyone went with a stage one or stage two upgrade ? pros and cons ? Trans issues ?
Exhaust i am going to get a car with the amg performance exhaust but has anyone switched to an AWE SWITCHPATH exhaust ? any benifits ?
Also renntech recently came out with a remote controlled exhaust valve thing, that opens the flaps to 100% any word on that ?
Anyone running exhaust cut outs ?

The best or nothing
I have created a technical support document for AMG (applicable to all cars) on how to bed-in your carbon ceramic brakes so you get maximum performance and zero noise (no squeaks).
I have nothing but positive experience with them - both tracking and daily use.
If you get them, let me know and I'll post it.

You need to be on the 213 AMG forum. This is the 213 E400/450/300 forum. I had a 2018 E63 AMG, everyone has different opinions on tunes it seems depending on what they have. My understanding though if you want your car to go real fast the Weistec Turbo upgrade and Stage 2 tune is the way to go. The main problem you run into then though is that the internal programming of the car nobody has been able to hack and there is built in torque management to protect the driveline and that will limit your final output and not a thing you can really do about that. But it's definitely possible to ge the car into the low tens in the quarter mile. As for the exhaust you should be fine with the performance exhaust in the open position as that bypasses the mufflers and then the downpipes (Weistec makes those too) are gonna give you more sound. Brakes, definitely get the carbon ceramic ones, just for the lack of brake dust on the wheels alone they are worth it but you you will get a lot longer life out of the pads and rotors too. Probably won't have to worry about them until 100K miles.
