Texas E63

Picked her up in AZ last month and starting to make her my own - I'm coming from a long line of Audi builds ( rs6, A8w12 etc) but always respected the Merc lineup and especially coveted the 6.2 ....

had EC do an initial tune and ran her to New Orleans for a daytrip -was very impressed with the gains given its NA - today they dropped the secondaries and did their Xpipe and BMC filters plus a custom tune.... a huge improvement based on my 50 miles so far..... the dyno sheet shows nice gains down low.

waiting for some CF goodies and have ordered some interior trim from Matt at O-carbon.... anyone who of a decent source for a used shifter surround ? I found all the other parts on ebay and will be sending the cores to Matt so folks who might want to upgrade can have minimal downtime...

Mounted up some HRE FF's in 19" and have the ti lugnuts enroute - liking the subtle look so far....the so4's are decvent - and was happy the the 285's fit perfectly.

Anyone with a 2010 /11 come up with a decent solution for replacing just the rear cans and tips ? seems the bulk of things are intended for the older or newer versions...

Cheers

Nice any more pics of the hre's?

Lots of stuff completed on the E63.... and a few still left to do but very happy and loving the car.... still in the works is the CF interior trim and wheel/paddles plus the Giro-discs....

Work so far:

Front Renn -style splitter - love the higher clearance design and quality is amazing
smoked LED side markers
Passport 9500 CI w/ jammers f&r plus Merc display integration. - very slick
JBspeed door pins
AMG command knob via amazon...( love it )
JB Speed Carbon upper spoiler
RW Carbon high kick rear spoiler
JB Speed Carbon Mirror covers
JB Speed Carbon rear valance
RW Carbon side Carbon Fiber splitters


Eurocharged custom tune
Eurocharged X-pipe & Secondary cat delete


Highflow AF's
Weistec Plugs
HRE FF's in 19' staggered
Titanium lugs - amazingly 3.5 lbs in weight savings....!
Euro tail lights

the tune made a HUGE change.... and with the Xpipe and secondary delete the blip downshifts are awesome... the dyno isn't bad...

Excellent Excellent Build. What are the future plans for her now? Would love to be a part of it in some way shape or form

Thanks David -

Ya'll provided many sets of rims for my old Audi's back my SFL days....

I'm still in the hunt for front rotors and perhaps exhaust...

The exhaust options are plentiful for your ride so I'm absolutely certain we'll find the right one for you. Brembo front kit doesn't sound too bad either. Give me a shout whenever you're ready to talk about it.

The 2010 E63 seems to be an orphan for exhaust based on my research.....I'm thinking of only replacing the rears cars/tips given that I've done secondary deletes and Xpipe...
but fitment sees to be limited for the W212 .....lots of options for the 5.5 tt but.....

on brakes - I think Girodiscs are what I will go with based on weight savings and reviews.....

either options ?

Taking a quick look into what's offered - Weistec, Renntech, Brabus, and Meisterschaft are the initial options.

I have the same car I just order the tune from eurocharger and my next step would be the sec cats and the resonator... You think u can post a video up how it sounds

450whp from just a tune?! FML that's....good!! Must feel very nice!

Texas E63

it's the EC tune but they dyno'ed it and retuned after they removed the secondaries and installed their X-pipe..... I had about 1000 miles on the EC initial Tune and the increase with the extra work was very well worth it IMHO....

cheers
