@@dylankent6908The early 2011 C63 AMGs had head bolt issues. Mercedes-AMG fixed the head bolt issue midway through the 2011 model year, so late 2011 cars are fine. Specifically, AMG engine 060658 and onward had the problem solved by updated head bolts, according to some posts on the U.K. Mercedes Club's forum.

On video I think I like the decat h-pipe or x-pipe with high flow res pipes and stock mufflers I find this is the best set up on the a45 aswell not to respy ,nice and deep low end and balls to the wall loud when full throttle 😂

[@Mo-ij8re]

honestly secondary cat delete with h pipes is the best setup

[@eaglesbrockin3517]

Nice Job. I'm running MBH and straight to the stock mufflers personally. Sounds nice.

[@Bo12346hhgfgdg]

I went the straight pipe route by deleting the secondary cats. Everything else is stock. Great sound under acceleration but sounds stock at idle.

[@Shivaay0111]

Ok

[@jgripen969]

I thought the resonator had an internal H-pipe? I want to remove the secondary cats with straight pipes, but now I don’t know.. I guess you want some sort of cross over, otherwise you essentially have 2 four cylinder engines.

[@SamAbraham]

haha well if you follow me on ig @sam.amg you'd know! are u saying you don't have mufflers? that no mufflers is way too loud on their own nevermind w headers lmao

[@Sideways_Singh]

Headers ruin the sound, it wouldve just had that terrible sound the rest of the headers cars had. Plus primary cat delete also ruins the sound, so it wouldve been the worst sounding out of all of them.

[@drexlspivey108]

@@Sideways_Singh hi. I’ve got a 2009 C63 P30 pack with 18,000miles. I’m taking your advice of NO headers, NO primary cat delete. The car is used primarily as family sedan so I don’t want any drone when cruising. I’m considering deleting the secondary cat and retaining the resonator and stock mufflers. What is the best replacement for the secondary cat, x-pipe h-pipe or straight pipe?

[@SgtKanyo]

Interestingly on the S63 there's only 1 set of cats (no secondary cats) stock, but they might be more restrictive, since at the end of the day it sounds like a C63 with a resonator delete only. Mind you I'm basing this on what I'm hearing in these videos. Also those who say they don't have drone without the resonator should try to keep a steady 2000 rpm under load with a hot exhaust. In that scenario there's some drone, which might get annoying (but you won't get that in normal every day driving). Also great video comparing the exhaust setups!

[@SamAbraham]

Its quite interesting how much M156 exhaust setups differ between chassis, my ML63 also doesn't have any secondaries. Even if you delete secondaries on the ML, however, its STILL quieter than a stock C63. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@iraqifoodcart8447]

I start my driving academy courses tomorrow morning... when I pick up my W204 C63 AMG in the next 6 months to a year from now, the first thing I'm going to do is replace that massive resonator with a double x pipe.

[@elitecarmanagement]

i own a c63 black series special edition number 7 of 60 world wide was made for a exclusive invite order offer in 2015 i was the last of he naturally aspirated models my car has no super charger but a few other tricks and mods internally to get these numbers without turbo or supercharger ,i had both cats removed only and a special custom titanium downpipe and mid pipe kept stock res and the mufflers and i can tell you that i've yet to hear a louder car than mine it has such a beautiful sound and after i tuned it i got the car to 440kw at the wheel that hits close to 700 hp now thats not supercharged it is a 10 second car now on quarter mile 10.7 0-100 3.0 sec , i also did the same to my friends car but he got the army rix downpipes with same both cats and kept res and it sounded allot better then any other exhaust and without the add on of headers, the c63 black series and 507 stock headers are very good as is and swapping them to get maybe 10 hp more and not much a diff in sound and loudness is a waste you don't need it you can make it even more louder by taking res but tbh don't do it its not pleasant to drive if its ur daily any questions happy to ask ,, i don't have a KZbin or page for my cars but i can dm some sound clips and vids o show

[@vincenthoa]

I got c63 performance package , it got turned. Afew years ago I removed 2nd cat and put straight pipe, it sounds like stock but alot louder when press down,so happy . After a while I wanted to replace resonator with straight pipe too . The muffler man said don't touch it but I wanted to try .the result after 5 minutes test drive with straight pipe 2nd cat and resonator . No no no,it's less noise , it's less amg rumble sound , and I asked him to put the resonator back right after that _ I paid him double for nothing🤣. In my opinion, straight pipe the 2nd cat is cheap and simple but get the big big change. I got a few advices that if I want it louder with the same tone , also remove the primary cat . And It will cost to tune the car again. Too loud is easy to get in trouble with the police. Still thinking 😀

Great video very comprehensive. What is it about the end mufflers in the c63 that make them so popular? I have these mufflers on my e550 coupe and they do as you say produce just the right amount of sound with absolutely no drone... I am tempted to remove them however because I want more volume they do muffle a lot of sound. I was looking for a similar design but more volume.

[@keithyuen2005]

This video is gold! I have an edition 507 on h pipe + resonator delete and it sounds crazy enough for me. Any chance you can do an exhaust video for the other AMG v8s? Say like M113k, M157, and M177

[@SamAbraham]

I could try.. though it would be more difficult. I was able to pull this off because most of my instagram following is M156 owners, so I was able to get all these setups pretty quickly. Its not a bad idea though, maybe ill start asking some people.

don't have a W204 but a W221 S63 with a M156 and I would probably go with the res delete something light. I would go louder but I'm not consistently going out the track, and I daily my S63. plus after owning a G37X with a Tomei single exit to the y pipe, no cats removed mind you and that shit had so much drone, and was loud enough you could literally hear my ass coming from a mile and a half away after a while the drone was getting to me a bit and was a little annoying.

Like your S63, my ML63 is very quiet for an AMG... but thats how I like it. Has a bark when you're on it but driving around town its pretty sedate. Have had no desire to change that exhaust haha, in fact, my C63 exhaust is still untouched as well

As will any turbocharged car, both have their charm!

[@3UZFE]

Do you have any evidence there is an X pipe within the secondary cat setup? I am under the impression they are two separate spun cats, simply contained together with one heat shield, so no direct cross over of the two banks (There is a small H pipe in the resonator)

I currently have ARH with sport cars stock resonator and mufflers. I been thinking full ARH set up but I really want to keep the stock mufflers. I was thinking maybe have a local shop replace my resonator with X and H pipe to see what it sounds like and also dyno both to see what gives more gains. Once I decide one or the other I want to replace the 2.75 stock pipes immediately after the ARH set up with 3 inch piping connected to the stock mufflers and why not 3inch tips.
