SL63 Project

Just wanted to show you all what I am about to preform for my SL63 and your thoughts about it.

In a week or two I will be doing the following for my SL63:

- PP-performance stage 2 tuning
- Carbonio air intake
- Pipercross air filters
- MBH Dynocomp Long tube Tri-Yi headers
- Caragraphics catless pipes
- MHP 160 F thermostat
- MHP intake manifold gaskets
- Evosport Rotors

I will post all the pictures prior to the install and pics of the installation. A video will be posted as well.

What do you guys think? anymore mods that you all can suggest?

That's a good list! Maybe add some lightweight wheels and sticky tires.

Much as I admire your list of mods, I fear it will only give a few extra horses.
Not like a turbo car where an extra 50 is easily achievable, but then I have never heard a turbo car sound like my 63 or an SLS , good luck let us know
how she goes after.

I dont know if this is true, a friend of mine installed the weistec supercharger on his C class, and his was fully moded from MHP, He claims that the weistec SC added only 40 rwhp .

I'm pretty confident that I will make more than 50HP. The headers alone have been tested previously on an SL63 and made 40 RWHP. I will be doing all the work next week with the help of ByDesign. Will keep you posted
