From a 13 C63PP to a 14 E63s
Traded my 13 C63 P31 for a 14 E63s. Fourth AMG I have had (E55, 2 C63's). The mods on the E63s have begun...switched out the start button for the red carbon fiber button, put on the AMG carbon fiber rear plate bracket, and tinted the windows. Next on my list is a carbon fiber rear spoiler and....yes the exhaust.
There is a lot I like about the E63s but man do I miss the raw sound of the C63.....it's like driving a NASCAR when you start it, get on it, and when it backfires. The E63 seems like someone has turned the volume down or hit the mute button.
Honestly, after a week with the new ride, the only thing I am underwhelmed with is the sound. So...next on my list is to wake this thing up.
The thread on replacing the resonator with straight pipes seems like a great simple solution vs spending $3-4k for downpipes that essentially remove the resonator as well. I welcome any other solutions you guys may have. Thx so much!

Something other members have reported was to drive around with the rear seats folded down. This will allow some additional sound to come into the cabin. You can use that as a bandaid solution until you do something with the exhaust!

Nice The W212 E63 is a monster of the car.
Congratulations on the sale.
Some tasteful mods and you got a winner in my books.
Would recommend new wheels if you after that and for the system I would say Meisterchaft or Akrapovic as a very good choice.
They complement the vehicle very well.

Does it light up behind the lettering "start/stop" like the oem? Plug and play right?? This is the coolest easy mod I've seen in a while ... Will look great against black and black ash

To the OP, i highly recommend a tune and downpipes to fully appreciate the beast. Whenever I drive a stock E63/CLS63 they feel so slow and sluggish by comparison.

I'm going from a 12 63PP with a Velos tune to a E63S as well and was concerned with the sound...Never going to get that 6.3 raw power sound again which is disapointing. The turbo motors are great they just dont have the same bark.
