r/C63AMG

I’ve been contemplating getting my C63s tuned since I got it and I decided to go through with a little ECU tune for my daily enjoyment.

These cars are really muted from factory. The difference an ECU tune makes on the C63s feels like night and day. It feels like the car went from a ‘comfort first’ set up to a ‘performance first’ set up and I wish they came like that from factory. Currently making 570-580hp

I plan on getting a stage 2 tune with catted or catless downpipes at some point but I will need you guys’ help with my decision. If you’ve had either a catless or catted downpipes on your C63 or any V8 AMG what’s your experience been like with the smell?

I have included a link to my Stage 1 (ecu) tune experience in the comments section for those interested.

Finally made the jump from a 2018 C43 AMG Coupe to a 2018 C63 S Coupe, and I still can’t believe it’s sitting in my driveway. I never anticipated purchasing this modern classic so soon!

After months of entertaining every mishap out there I could tell that it was time to let my C43 go. Getting rear ended by a dump truck was the final nail in the coffin for my C43 so I seized the opportunity and jumped right into a pre-opf C63s. I picked it up with 49k miles after getting a pre purchase inspection done.

I just couldn’t justify choosing anything else over this beauty. A compact RWD V8 with an attitude and thunderous sound? Sold lol. It’s such a different experience from other V8s out there. I’d love to get it tuned at some point as well but for now I’ll enjoy everything this stock beast has to offer. I’d appreciate tips and suggestions from other C63 owners out there (W205). What are some things to avoid and look out for through the course of my ownership?

I will also be documenting my journey with the car through the course of my ownership, and have included a link in the comment for those interested in being a part of it!
