Hey Peter, the car pulls like a monster and raced my friend's 2015 GTR and all I saw was the GTR in my rear view mirror. Nothing like a 4 door sedan in a street race beating a 2 door sports car.

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.

Thank you. Switch the Vossen wheels from my E350 to the E63 and what a difference it made. Yes, I added spacers to clear the bigger brakes, but well worth it.

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 ?

Thanks, I meant 200cell cat. downpipes.

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.

Thank you, put in some elbow grease and there you have it.

As for your question, no. My is a 2012 E63 which means it's a 5.5tt. The power gains for the exhaust are only like 10hp, but love the sound. I was told with the ECU and exhaust upgrades will produce like 680hp so that is plenty of horses for me.

The most satisfying mod IMO is the ECU and downpipes upgrade. It takes off allot faster without the lag. I don't do track nor do I race for a living so I am set as far as making my car go faster or more HP/Tq. I don't go looking for races on the streets, they pick me unless it's a car I really would like to see if I can win like a exotic car.

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.

Just wanted to add that my friend that owns a Mercedes dealer had me speak to their Service Manager and he too told me the same thing. Get the 200cell cats simply because no service department would mess with you unless you don't have a good working relationship with your service department. When I was contemplating on getting exhaust system upgrade, I wanted the sound of the exhaust to be more high pitch like the Lamborghini, to me it wasn't about the HP/Tq gains from the exhaust. Hope that helps.

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

I think you'd enjoy some shadow lights, I have some on my cls
they barely cost a thing; install I had done by an indy shop, so I can't say how it's done.........but they go under the door and shine on the floor

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
