thank you. I like the way it turned out. The sound with the tune and exhaust is outstanding. Anyone around the Tampa area C2 Design does a great job. This is my 4th Mercedes they have done. Wouldn’t take my toys to anyone else.

Looks great..curious about the tune? What tune did you do and what are projected gains? How does it drive after tune? I would think an extra 80-100 HP would be great...Cheers. Please share the details of the tune —I am very interested.

the tune is supposed to add a little over a hundred horsepower. It’s a custom tune done by C2. There is definitely a difference in the power driving it. In sport mode it holds the gear longer as well. Definite improvement. They have also tuned my 2017 C63s and my 2018 S63. All have had noticeable improvements.
