Talking My modified W166 ml63 (by Vath)

Dear AMG fans,

Here are some pictures of my modified W166 ml63 finally


- Before the mods, the day I got this incredible machine from MB / AMG

- The current Vath exhaust:https://mbworld.org/forums/members/e...mage-36264.jpg

- Waiting for the Brabus butterfly exhaust Thursday

In theory...we should have some track action from my ml since it should be going to the Tuner GP @ Hockenheim in 23 days!

I hope you guys like it!

LOL to be honest depending on the mods you make they are very cheap (compared to Brabus for example)

Vath were always great with me, I assume that since I bought an entire engine from them this helped IMO cf parts and displacement engine are the products that are expensive

I also should mention that this company grew a lot and they now have many workers which helps a lot. I honestly always got great service and there products are really great ! (Specially the ratio price vs performance/look)

Thanks DNB and Thomas for the compliments! The only thing I wasn't sure is: if i should have left the cf fenders un-painted (maybe i should have left the cf raw)

To make the thread complete here are the pictures of the Brabus valve controlled exhaust

Thanks GMW

The bi-turbo was already great but boy Now the ml63 is an even faster rocket lol

The torque is also insane! Doing 0 to 60 for example you need to be more "awake" and need two hands on the steering!

The only thing i don't like, on this incredible amg machine, is the fact that the the steering is too light in C and S mode... I much prefer the S+ mode

Due to my big mb evo2 project, the upgrade on the twin turbo for the ml is on hold.

However here are some pictures:

Hey EVO,

What offset are you running on your new HRE wheels with your Vath fender kit?
