12 E63 matte white
I had a C63 before and IMO best way to get the most power is LT headers,x pipe and
an agressive tune which RPI/ESS will do on Dbae's car. Hope RPI or someone will look into LT headers for this car!

I thought mb is going to replace the 6.3 na engine for a turbo charged version.

Didn't think about that! Yeah the TT engine is already out and wil be in
E and C class in MY2012. With that said don't think it would be a mkt for
headers and exhuast! You should do a Tune and RPI scoops.

The TT will be on the S63 and Cl63 in 2011. Nothing has been released by MB that it will be in the E's in 2012. I think i would make sense for them to do it to one up the M5 release in 2011, but it hasn't been announced yet.

I didn't want eloy to produce the parts unless it was an absolute sure thing. With the new engine coming in it might not be worth the 20-30k investment for rpi

DBAE - I think you are right. The TT is the way forward for MB....More power, less fuel. Makes sense. For me, I've never been a huge turbo fan. there is just more stuff to go wrong with the engine. And since I'm not a tracker or looking to light it up at every stop light, the NA works just fine for me (although 600ft/lbs of torque sounds awfully fun!)

If RPI I were to produce headers and a full gt exhaust for our vehicles, it would not be cheap. Based on the e60 m5 prices the exhaust goes for 2.8k and the headers are 6+k, not including installation. I'm assuming that the down pipes for a turbo would be considerably cheaper than an entire header setup. That's too bad I really wanted to see some RPI performance mods for our w212 amgs.

Congrats, David, on the new acquisition! An E63 and M5...I'm jealous...

Can we expect your E63 to be the new face of RPI?

thanks hyung!!!!The m5 goes back at the end of next month hyung. i couldn't pass up the crazy summer deals so i purchased the e63. If there is a market for it, he definitely wants to work on the car. hopefully we'll be able to generate enough interest.
