    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.

    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.

      @@RadFox1320 nope but to honest never really searched it out, when we were big into them at my shop, we had the luxury of a hoist and a 3 ton overhead crane/trolley. 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

    Same thing when I did LTH on my tundra, headers went in fine but tightening the nuts took FOREVER!!!!! I had to use 1/4" socket and extension to 3/8" extension to my 3/8" ratchet to tighten them down then go and warm the engine up and let it cool and re-tighten them again.

  • @derrickmonares3865
    @derrickmonares3865 2 роки тому +5

    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.

    hi I'm from Germany and I'm watching your video right now. Most Germans, like me, are very perfectionist and I'm currently at 9:15 and I think it's super cool that you're thinking about what you could do right away because it could happen a short time later. You see something like that very little and normally I hardly write any comments either, but here I thought I had to write briefly😁👍🏻
    that actually has no relevance to the project and to UA-cam. but here you can see that it's important to you and not just, "ah, the main thing is that I have a new video for UA-cam". So now I'll keep watching your video😁😋
    I worked at a Mercedes workshop myself and I can relate very well to how you felt 😆 I always wished I could do telekinesis with things like that so I could thread "that one stupid screw" without breaking my hand...
    Depending on the mileage, I would have changed the spark plugs when everything was removed anyway. But otherwise very well done! the car sounds really awesome. I loved this engine. Unfortunately we only had 2-3 customers who had the engine (2x C 63, 1x an E63 but this was only once in our workshop), we had another branch and most AMGs were repaired there. They also had all the special tools for the vehicles there. That's why most of the time we only had the "normal" Mercedes with us, unfortunately. But they had a few V8 or V12 engines there too, which was always cool too.

    Yes, the car sounds fantastic, and you are an amazing wrench! My CLS 63 AMG is armoured at a very high quality standard, which of course added weight. But it is still a beast, and I love its road feel, as I do mostly highway driving, and the extra weight makes it feel very stable. I will gradually do some performance mods, just to get a little more power to weight in favour of power, but this engine is a babydoll. I also have a tuned SL63 AMG, but I prefer my NA big block, unless I want to go top down.

  • @zaknefain100

    I've been looking for one of these for a while now. They're the epitome of what a high performance sedan should be and they just don't make them like this anymore. I owned an E39 M5, bought straight out of the lease program in '03. Great car but with a lot of very unique and expensive issues but even with all that, getting the car on the road always put a smile on your face. They (BMW, Audi, Mercedes) engineer these cars for road comfort, low NVH and air tightness. Every panel is backed with jute... lots of attention to minimizing cabin noise. IMO... and I'm getting older now... exactly what you want for a daily.. something you can actually carry a conversation on while driving at speed. Only downside for me and this car is lack of manual transmission.. but when you consider the other options of the era and their reliability issues? Keeps you coming back to this model.

    MB master tech here. Those motor mounts were blown out and collapsed. Mercedes added the black rubber circle on the bottom so you can visually see them fail. New, the rubber will be convexed up in the mount and will have no movement, when they fail, all the fluid pushes the rubber down and out and will feel squishy. good call to change them. on a side note, your next battle will be the intake manifold. they are made of magnesium and like to rot away just like M113 valve covers

    Love the E63 content! I had a question
    What we’re those white sockets you were using? I’m assuming some type of thin walled sockets, just never saw them before?

      Wheel socket. Protects the painted surface of the wheel

    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
    Good mod to your nice E63!
