Epic!

Six6siX · 28 Apr 2016 at 18:45

For good measure!

Ryan-3 · 28 Apr 2016 at 19:07

I bet that can be "interesting" in the rain! :eek:

Six6siX · 28 Apr 2016 at 19:35

It's been dry on the road every time I've driven it since and it doesn't invoke any involvement from the TC but I suspect it will be a different story in the wet...!

Maybe an LSD on the cards to help put the power down at some point in the future.

Great result

LSD might be a must have in less grippy conditions.. commonly found in the UK! I have a third of that output and have had those thoughts.

Is £430 a bit steep for secondary cat and mid silencer removal and an xpipe put in their place? Only paid £300 to do this at infinity exhausts, but EMP Performance, which is much more convenient, seems a lot more expensive at £430!

I had the exact same work done on the CLS at EMP (secondary cat and mid silencer removal with a new x-pipe). Just dug out the invoice from about a year ago to check and it was £400

Were you pleased with the work? Neatly done?

Might try to negotiate a little

Yeah, it was a good job and turned it around pretty quickly too. I got the bits they removed back too and sold them on so you could make a little back from that if you can be bothered!

I'm rethinking my exhaust setup at the moment so will probably end up back there at some point. Definitely negotiate!

I saw an S65 AMG Coupe the other day.

What an awesome car.

Well it is booked in this Saturday

My other half will kill me.

Need to hear it afterwards!

Not sure it'd be my first choice for 200k though!

Finance innit. Sinking 200k into a car would be madness, especially one that depreciates as fast as big mercs!

Ryan-3 · 5 May 2016 at 15:01

If you had the money, the step up to the 65 over the 63 would be tempting. It would for me anyway.

Xpipe installed, secdonary cats and silencer removed. I am really pleased having just gone a spirited drive

In comfort mode with flaps closed, can't notice a difference (which is what I wanted). Flaps open in sport mode, oh boy, such a throaty roar on it.

I parked next to a GLE today and it looked seriously impressive.

Nice result - bet that sounds great now - looks like a good job too!

Took them a little while, but pleased with the result. Handy having that place down the road. Only a little louder on start up, but oh how I smiled when the flaps were opened! The sound is perfect and how AMG should make it in the first place. Great to be able to have the top down for the first drive today too. Had a fun cruise down the A1081 with an f type closely following.
