@@davidcarson6701 thanks man, really appreciate the feedback! C43 is sadly sold now, new cars been purchased, reveal will be in about 3-4 weeks, stay tuned ✌🏽
@everything_amg excited to see what you have got - my kids are getting larger and may need to get something bigger than the coupe so interested to see what you went for!
While doing a lot of Sport + Driving and constanly reving up and down in low gears, gear box temperure can rise to 90 degrees, i wouldnt be scared, unless it gets up very quickly. I dont have a tune on my C43 and ive seen these numbers as well.
Lovely video mate. I got a C43 too and you give me a lot of insight about mapping. Definitely thumbs up and also subscribed! I must say this is the best C43 I’ve ever seen!
Thanks for the honest review. I have been tossing up between doing a stage one or going straight to stage two. After you video I will now just go stage one as mine is a daily driver and that sound would drive me crazy
In all honesty the jump from stage 1 to stage 2 isn’t massive on these, it’s about another 50bhp give of take, one of the upsides is louder exhaust sounds, providing you have a good relationship with your MOT garage I’m sure they will turn a blind eye to the missing cats 😂
Great videos mate thanks for all your info and I’ve done very similar mods to you and my oil temps are higher now, have you spoken to any mechanics or tuners about it eg maybe fitting an intercooler
I got the 2016 C450 stock sedan second hand in top condition (45k KM) with sh*t ton of options, never could be happier tbh the car is different and also catches people's eyes very quickly I love it, the reason I wanted C450 C43 over C63 is the 4 wheel drive which wasn't something to debate for me. If it was only for HP and V8 would definitely go for E63 no questions asked
Thanks buddy, selling her unfortunately 😢 C63s alloys buddy, paid £2500.00 for them with the Michelin tyres. I explain sizes etc on my latest video on the channel.
Appreciate your honesty regarding the downpipes and sound. I'm literally about to book my c43 in with GAD and was debating weather or not to stage 1 or 2. Think stage 1 will suffice. As you say it's not a asbo car to look at so don't want it sounding like one
Glad to see this as i was thinking of a C63 S What do these go like? Drive like? Is there a big difference between the C63 & C43 ? I no not much beats the V8 noise but apart from that what’s the biggest difference between the both
You mention that the car is not economical anymore. Out of curiosity, what MPG are people getting with tunes like these? Edit: How does the fuel economy differ for each mode? I get 30 MPG in Reduced mode, and 16-17 MPG in Sport+ without a tune.
Bro, thank you for your honesty. Im going to stop at stage 1 tune. I reckon I'll be the same as you. Snap crackle and pop just ain't for me. I'd rather 88-92 oil deg as well.
Got this for the North York moors haven't touched it yet but I'm gonna kit it and stage 2 it maybe 3 if I can get the temperature down but I will say this my friend has a heavy modified r35 and in the bends this will keep up and in short straight it's going in his rear view if your boost is up. AMG made a weapon they need to help with the mods and they haven't. Shame
@@wokitlikeyoutalkit5619 no it’s cool mate don’t worry, it’s to allow more airflow, having catted DP’s slows down the amount of air being push through your engine and out the back. So when you delete the cats the airflow is much greater allowing for an even better tune and more HP and NM i.e stage 2 tune
@everything_amg yeah ofcourse it's more flow/HP I get that it's also a lot louder and illegal too haha .....being 38yo I'm kinda over trouble with cops. Don't catless downpipes cause oxygen sensor/check engine light on the dash?
@@wokitlikeyoutalkit5619the police are never going to be able to prove on the street you’ve got no cats. You need to have a good relationship with your MOT guy though.

Well I was considering getting a different tune for the car and come across a company in the US called AMR performance, they basically send you an OBD scanner with the tune pre installed and then you do it yourself via your laptop, this is $1499.99 for this particular car on there website.
I had a full MST intake system on the car, if you go back 2 episodes in my channel there is a video about it. I’ve taken it off though since have the stage 2 tune done.
@@hg1496 in all honesty I don’t believe so, heat soak can cause lag and slow the car down, MST intakes do not disburse heat like the stock intakes when in turn can cause performance issues. Besides I can’t stand the sound they make! Haha
Not to be that guy but obviously some issues with that tune. Massive boost oscillation or detonation as the curves go high low high.. not consistent at all. Used to dyno and tune motorcycles and that kind of graph was usually a telltale sign of problem. Either fueling related or boost and knock sensor pulling timing and putting it back. I would be very disappointed with a dyno graph like that. And no fueling or boost shown in the chart.
You know something I’m glad you are that guy because ever since that tune the car hasn’t felt right, the cooling fan comes on after you turn the car off and stays on for about 5-10 minutes and the pops and bangs in the car have stopped, this happen a few months ago, tried everything to rectify it but nothing has brought them back so I am fully convinced the tune is all wrong. Since taken it back and they said there’s nothing wrong with it 🤔 I’m going to ask them to put the original tune back in and then purchase a tune from AMR in the US, only thing is the tune is $1500.00 🤦🏽♂️ Thank you for this comment you’ve actually convinced me it’s 100% the tune causing the issues!
@@everything_amgwould love to know your before and after review from the AMR tune vs what you had done now. I am running a AMR S1 now and love it waiting to get some catted downpipes before I go up to S2. With that said I also need to have my CPC tuned so that adds to the cost dramatically for me. Just waiting to get the funds up before I make the jump.

Yeah gearbox doesn’t rise rapidly but obviously does hit higher numbers now, engine oil temperature creeps up fast but doesn’t go past 103-104

I need to figure out the MOT issue with catless downpipes. My GLC43 is pushing 405hp/655NM to the wheels on just a tune.
In all honesty the jump from stage 1 to stage 2 isn’t massive on these, it’s about another 50bhp give of take, one of the upsides is louder exhaust sounds, providing you have a good relationship with your MOT garage I’m sure they will turn a blind eye to the missing cats 😂
No idea how but my 310 bhp vxr with 3" straight through no cat and forged engine always passes emissions 😂
Discussion of power also means we should discuss reliability. How long will that transmission last with increase in torque?
Great videos mate thanks for all your info and I’ve done very similar mods to you and my oil temps are higher now, have you spoken to any mechanics or tuners about it eg maybe fitting an intercooler
Yeah 100% that’s really the only way to bring the temps down after doing this sort of thing, intercooler is about £1500.00 I believe

C43 is AWD but C63s can only be bought RWD, sometimes the c43 just the better deal depending if you live in climates where you need
Drive them both mate, the C43 is quicker 0-100kph, it's an absolute blast to drive, and the exhaust sounds phenomenal.
You mention that the car is not economical anymore. Out of curiosity, what MPG are people getting with tunes like these?
Edit: How does the fuel economy differ for each mode? I get 30 MPG in Reduced mode, and 16-17 MPG in Sport+ without a tune.
Where did u go to get this upgrade what is the company name ?
The name of the company is gad tuning, they are based in burnham and crouch Essex

Bro, thank you for your honesty. Im going to stop at stage 1 tune. I reckon I'll be the same as you. Snap crackle and pop just ain't for me. I'd rather 88-92 oil deg as well.
You can get the temp up 120 degrees safely, but you never will, that's track only. When I really push mine, It gets up to 105-108 degrees.
What is the exhaust ?
Were those values at the wheels, but corrected for weather? I.e. Stage 2 doing "450hp"? Thanks.

Are they catless or catted downpipies?

Yes of course, you will just see slightly higher temperatures without changing the intercooler.
