Hello.
Here is the list of my current upgrades. Would be glad to hear from GLC43 FL owners regarding possible add-ons to this list.

• Protection film (Llumar gloss): all body
• Custom exhaust with catted downpipes (Gesi), with valves
• GLC 63 brakes retrofit
• Multibeam headlights retrofit (my car didnt have it in stock config)
• Carbon fiber front lip
• Carbon fiber spoiler (GLC63 style): in transit
• GLC 63 style side skirts
• Carbon fiber door trims from C63s
• Custom steering wheel: cancelled
• Cold air intake: planned (most likely will be either L.E.M. or Modalworks)
• Custom intercooler from Logos Engineering
• CPC module tune from Eurocharged
• ECU stage 2 tune from Eurocharged
• Suspension lowering module from MWMods: installed, -20mm (-40mm optional, but definitely not for the current weather conditions in my country)
• Custom 2-piece rims for the next season from BC Forged: arrived, waiting for the spring

All those mods sound like the car is going to be fun to drive. Just wondering, with the money spent on your current car, why you never opted for the 63/ 63s model with the more powerful V8?

Bloom_Phaze

VERY NICE indeedy👍😎

Fitis

Good question!
Well, I believe that 63s is not so 'everyday' car as 43. For example, I like to travel by car, so the fuel consuption may be an issue.
Another thing is speeding fines When you have such a power, you'll always be tempted to use all of it. It's hard to be a Volvo driver with 63s...
The last thing is car tax. In my country it is calculated based on 2 things: engine output and the price of the car.
For 43, I pay about $1k yearly. For 63s, I will pay $3300 - that was a mistake, it's $2k for GLC63s

Apodb

интересно как ты посчитал 3300 долларов налога? за год на 63?

Я плачу 153 тыщи в первый год владения (это налог плюс налог на роскошь) . И 114 тыщ за 2й год владения. В москве

150 тыщ это 2 тыщи долларов. А не 3300

Fitis

English, dude...
Well, you're right. I checked now, it's really $2k. Last time I checked on Autoru, it displayed about 172K or 173K

From a tax point of view I can understand, in Japan it’s measured by the cars weight and engine size…mainly weight. Previous X6M was in the highest tax bracket and the GLC 63s falls below that thankfully.

Fuel economy I can also understand because damn, my car drinks more fuel than a 6yr old does apple juice yet yet, the 43AMG is barely better really and probably the same after the mods you plan to do…perhaps worse?

Either way mate, your car is going to be awesome once it’s done.

Fitis

I hope so
I'm already happy with the sound of my current exhaust.
First I tried Supersprint, but it does not have valves and, as a result, sounds too loud for me - especially during a long trips.
Now I have all custom setup from our local company called CHS Products, gonna post some videos with sound soon.

Bloom_Phaze

Yes please definitely post pics of the upgrades/ progress as well as the custom Catback. Honestly I am still window shopping for my Catback system, NEARLY pulled the plug on a Black Friday special from a company in Aus, pretty sweet system but I’m going to hold off for now till I get a better picture of all options and comparables. Cost Vs Function and aesthetics etc etc.

Fitis

Here's the video of my old Supersprint cat-back system.
Stock cats.
Nice pops and bangs, but sounds a bit harsh to me.​​​​

Here's some weld **** Pics of custom exhaust for my GLC 43

Very Noice mate👍😄. Looks great.

Or just buy a GLC 63s

Hey what do those side skirts look like? Considering that for my GLC 63 SUV...

Fitis

You probably have them already)

Big update: stage 2 by Eurocharged is finally here!
Although it's winter here and all roads are covered by snow and ice, so I can't make any drag tests, the change of the car's behavior is noticeable.
I will visit a dyno on next Saturday and post a result here.

Since the car is 2020, I needed an unlocked and tuned CPC module too (not only ECU), and I must say that it was quite a surgery, to find and then remove the ECU module...
The module is located below the plastic shield on the passenger side, which you must remove first.
Then you have to remove 3 or 4 nuts to let the CPC module go from it's place.

Where did you get them ?

Fitis

China, obviously
But these are 2-piece, while the original ones are 3-piece.
I'm installing them tomorrow, will post a pic here.

Fitis

Fitted perfectly. No gaps etc.

My car is dirty as hell because it was covered by snow for a week

Fitis

Installed this beast yesterday, but there was an issue with connecting hose.

This one

The stock hose has variable diameter. The hose which was in the box from Logos isn't.
That's why it was impossible to fix one of the connectors in the hose:

Luckily, guys in the workshop managed to find the appropriate hose.

Here's some pics from the workshop:

Size matters

Installed

Thanks
Nice fit too !
Do you mind to share the link from where you get them ?

Fitis

Sent you a PM
