Green light acceleration got the whip lash tq to it and the exhaust note is intoxicating.

Lol! Sweet... That's gotta be like 700hp and 800tq you have now ... How easy was the renntech tune? Did you take the ecu out yourself and FedEx it to them?

Thanks Bro. Ironically, I had my friend who owns a Mercedes dealer take the ECU out for me and then install it for me after Renntech sent it back to me. The dealer installed the exhaust as well and it sounds like a monster. I have a pretty big house and our master bed room is on the other side of the garage and when I start the car in the morning, everyone hears it. FYI, race a few E63s and I felt sad for them because I was stock once.

Catless 200 cell down pipe? Which way did you go? Catless or with 200 cell cats?
Just curious as I'm debating between the 2 myself.
Word I got from my dealer is they are okay as long as cats are n the car, they would not service or honor warranty catless unfortunately. I need a new dealer lol.
Diffuser looks great.

I always appreciate super clean and shiny exhaust tips...good job.
I have to ask though...yours is a 6.2, right? So basically, you've had a decat and a tune and you feel the gains are pretty strong and noticable? Any chance of a tacho vid maybe?
My local tuner (I don't want to name in case they get told off by their head office) recommended that I simply get a decat and custom tune - bypassing the need for long tune headers. It should net around 40hp over stock. I guess that's what you have and you're around the 560+ hp mark ?

My friend told me they wouldnt mess with you (me) if they were servicing something that is none related to the exhaust or ECU in most cases unless you **** off a SA. I never heard it myself in person or on this forum that Mercedes voided anyone's warranty for having a tune although I could be wrong.

Thanks Karl. I think that is about it for me on modding my car. Don't think I can go any faster or want to go any faster.
Hey how is the production of your beast? Did you send more Energy drinks to your AMG maker? If you haven't gotten your toy already, I hope you'll get it very soon.

Thank you. I would consider myself as a pretty traditional guy so the black ( CF ) on white to me really compliments the car great.
I think members who want to upgrade their OEM diffuser, front lip or new wheels to set themselves apart from other E63s. IMO, I have accomplish what I set out to do and am really happy with the outcome.

, but it'll be a close call.
Get allot of complements with the diffuser and wheels. Then my 8 year says, it's a AMG baby. Lol.
If I had a CLS63, I would do exactly what you did. Seems like we share the same taste.

Thanks. Those mods do rack up, but well worth it. I did it for my enjoyment and can honest say when you have a Lambo or Ferrari pull up to me. I no longer doubt I'll loose for sure. They might win

Got that on order from EBay, but my says Mercedes AMG. It costs like $15 and all you need to do is change the door light like you said. Thanks.

Yes, I do have the the illuminated door sills, but you might be right. It's only $15 so if it's tacky, I'll just change it to Mercedes. Thanks.

Ahhh...that makes sense then. You're living the dream - pre-facelift looks but with the TT motor.
FML...680hp........680.......thank you for ruining my day Congrats man
