  • Finally doing some mods to my E63 AMG! I've had these headers and OE Tuning tunes since I bought the car and just now got around to installing them. Not without some struggle of course! Enjoy the 6.2L of German v8 bliss!

    Bought a 2009 CL63 AMG a couple of months ago and saw that it had a carbon fiber airbox by Rentech under the hood. So I called Rentech in Florida with my VIN # and they told me back in 2013 they installed airbox, throttle body, headers and ECU tune for the original owner. Now puts out 577Hp and 533ft/lbs of torque. $20k worth of work on top of the $155k original sticker. Car is mint with 60k on the odometer, black on black. Only paid $30k for it at a Buick dealer, don't think they realized what they had.

    Sounds like OBX has the same mentality as Speed Engineering: "Sure, it should fit." In terms of the final result, that sounds like the perfect daily. Not unbearable at idle, quiet while cruising, and it has a sharp and throaty bark when you get on it. I didn't realize those had 518 hp stock! As an aside, love this channel!

Your UA-cam Vlogs are "Thee Absolute Best" always. When you picked up the ZO6 with the blown engine, I had to rewind it when you arrived at the co-op complex because it looked so familiar. My buddy just moved from the complex on the next block about 6 months ago. I sold him my C5 ZO6 which he kept in one of those garages after I bought a '19 C7 Grand Sport. Looking forward to you doing some more work on the Z,

    Pro Tip: take the valve covers off to reach the top header bolts. I have an 09 and instead of bamming on the header, I just custom made another steering shaft because that's where the interference was, unlike your car where it contacted the body. I'm almost positive those headers were made for 07-09 W211 E63 because there aren't any fitment issues like with your car. As far as the flared flange on the x-pipe, all you had to do was cut that part off and it would have slipped in like stock.

    I feel your pain! I spent 3 days trying to get my cheap headers on my 05 E500. I think the problem is Mercedes uses the same motor in multiple cars and the companies don't account for the smaller C the Medium E and bigger S and also that the motor was used in the previous Models of E class. All they do is mass produce for the motor.

    great vid! i know hindsight's 20/20 but...... those motors drop out the bottom so easy (once you take a look and see what your working with as far as lines/etc) a couple jack stands,your hoist and you can sag the kmemeber down to give loads of access without completely removing it. another option is to support the motor and lower the kmemeber slightly, a couple inches of clearence make the job so much better. ive removed/installed many benz drivelines and i feel your pain on the manifolds. all that being said killer car, i miss working on AMGs they are beasts.

Raise the vehicle, have the motor suspended by the over head and used an air table to lower the k-member. I get not everyone has access to that kind of set up. But it’s definitely possible. I drop c5/c6/c7 vette crossmembers with jack stands and a floor jack to do cams,headers etc

    I hope you check the flatness of new header where sit on the exhaust ports. If not flat can cause the exhaust screws to come loose, broke or stripp of the thread.
    Also turn 180° Vband to hide long portion of the screw to the belly of the car to avoid it can hook up some road stuff’s
