Awesome video man! Keep it up!
nice video bro
Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words.
Bro I got the 450 too with the vr tune but I did the muffler delete and it sounds bad ass and aggressive, try it out if your interested lol. I think it's like 0-60 in 4.2 seconds with the tune.
That's awesome! Do you have any video of it? And I probably won't be spending anymore money on this car as it's a lease that goes back in January.
Chris Scott No unfortunately I don't but my neighbors aren't too happy especially if you start it up at 7am on a cold start lol.
Haha that is how I like it!
Chris Scott Yeah going in tunnels and parking Garages is fun stuff plus the gear change pop is hella louder, but a bit of a drone in the cab lol not too bad it's worth it bro haha.
I would be totally obnoxious in tunnels, too lol. But yeah, my biggest complaint about the C Class is how loud it is inside the cabin. It's not a quiet car.
Love the exhaust on this and the 43.
That makes two of us!
I currently have a 400 but I’ve been searching for a 450 at a decent price to upgrade to. I should’ve gotten this instead of the 400 to begin with. 😢
@@juelzsantana211 Haha I've got my fingers crossed for you! But the 400 isn't anything to sneeze at either. Drive it and enjoy it until you do upgrade.
Chris Scott oh I know bro! I had a c350 a few years back and compared to that this thing moves! As soon as I put it in Sport+ this thing picks up and go! I was thinking to change the exhaust but I think I’ll just go with the 450 or 43!
@@juelzsantana211 I test drove a 43 about 6 months ago and I was thoroughly impressed. It was more aggressive than the 450 and it had options like the performance seats and performance exhaust and was overall cool. If you can hold out for a 43 I would say that is the way to go for sure. The throw a tune on it and you're as good as good gets haha! I got the 450 off of swapalease.com to experience it and the 8 or so months I lived with it I was in love, so that might be worth looking into as well, because you might be able to find a decent deal on there.
Is this a stock Exhaust? What mode are you in for all these runs. Just got the car it’s sweet
Yes, the exhaust is stock. And for every run I was in Sport+. Congrats on the car, too! You'll love it. It's a lot of fun to drive and when you want to relax it's very comfortable. The tune is also better than I was expecting if you want some more horsepower.
Chris Scott yea it’s actually my girls car she is daily driving it so don’t think we’re gonna tune it as of now. So when you switch modes the active Exhaust opens up?
The tune doesn't really change the driving characteristics unless you're really getting on it. I also use it as a daily driver and it's still very docile and comfortable in traffic. And yes, the exhaust valves open up some when in Sport mode and completely when in Sport+. Sport+ is when you get the exhaust burble.
After you tune the car , I hear the crack gone. 🤔🤔 , when it was stock exhaust the sound was better.
Good observation, and I agree with that. But, the cracks came back after about 3 weeks every time I put the tune on. Took a while, but they always came back around the same amount of time.
Chris Scott i can’t hear the crackles in this video
@@akredytoshoot They came back after a few weeks. The power gain was worth the wait for me.
2016 Amg c450? 2016 Amg c43? Which is better?
So u lost the crackle and pops?
Oddly enough it did. It went away for about 3-4 weeks and then came back slightly when lifting at right around 3k rpm's. I'm probably going to do a quick video explaining that and some of the other nuances.
Personally, I think that's a _good_ thing. The pops and crackles of recent AMGs, especially the 6-cylinder engines don't sound all that natural to me, almost artificial. I much prefer a deeper exhaust note with less added drama, but that's just my opinion. I think this is a good mod, very nice and gets a thumbs up.
Do you still have the. ride and and VR tuning in it? Run into any issues or expensive repairs? I've got AMR tune on my 2nd year with it on my 16 and c450, with down pipes. Considering another tune...
I don't have the car anymore. It's actually been a few years and several cars since I've had it. However, for the period that I did have it I only had one problem with it, because it overheated and caused the car to go into limp mode due to where I placed it inside the engine bay. Once I moved it to a cooler spot I never had an issue and never worried about reliability at all.
Is the AMR tune plug and play as well?
@@venompwr yeah just a OBD II Flash, stage 1, stage 2 recommends/requires aftermarket downpipes. A lot of folks have had a good experience. I cant say the same whatsoever. Within 30 day of purchase the micro USB port for updates on the port was pushed into the device at first attempt at plugging it in. Quickly unplug everything since it’s a metal connector that loosened into the device.
Contacted AMR, response was SOL. Buy another one at full retail.. (what kind of service is that?!)
6 months down the line, the down pipes I purchased which was their tested and only recommended aftermarket downpipes to use with stage 2 (which I purchased), literally blows off where connects between the back turbos and pipes. I mean the connection was still there the physical part after the flange (I suppose is what it’s called) was just obliterated. Contacted the AMR and Weistec regardless of their quality parts warranty etc. they didn’t stand behind anything. So said screw it and went with my own after market down pipes and been about a year without issues (RedStar Exhaust). I have videos of it on my instagram, handle is: @limitlessAMG, don’t upload on CZcams much or at all. Mainly a spectator/viewer, lol.
Should start but meh,
@@amitgandhi8230 Wow, that's rough. I never had to contact Vivid about the tune, but they're customer service is generally pretty good I'm my experience.
And if you start posting lmk 🤙
Did you have to bring it in to get the tune? Awesome video
Thank you, I really appreciate it! And there was no need to take it anywhere a the tune is pretty easy to install. It's a 10 to 15 minute installation. If you want or know anyone who wants the tune I still have it and will let it go for $300.
Chris Scott this is for a 2016 MB C450 with the latest MB firmware? I just got a new ECU 3 days ago because my original one went bad from a botched tune. Just bad luck
@@BrettL250 Yikes. That's never fun. I just actually had the tranny replaced in my AMG GT S two weeks ago, so I feel ya. On the other hand, I'm not sure if it will work with the latest firmware. It might be worth reaching out to Vivid Racing to ask if you truly want to know. They are very responsive and would be able to tell you definitively.
Nice
Do you still have this C450? Did the tuning give you any issues over the years?
No, I haven't had the car for about 2 years now. The only time I had an issue with the tune was when I didn't secure it somewhere cool enough. It would overheat and the car would go into limp mode. After that happened twice, I moved it into the passenger side basket (had to dremel a hole for the harness to fit through) and that solved the problem. I want to say that basket was where the washer fluid was, but don't hold me to it since it's been a while.
@@venompwr okay cool thanks bro!
I don’t get it, you had boost gauge in the stock, then nothing for the tune?
It was an oversight when filming. I would have liked to have had everything be equal ideally.
So was it worth the upgrade? I am strongly considering it you can feel significant jump?
Hi Nigel. it was well worth the upgrade for sure. I managed to snag it used for $250 on eBay, but I would have gladly paid retail for it. The boost is definitely noticeable, but I did lose the exhaust burble for about a month. it eventually came back but it's not as strong. That is really the only drawback. Otherwise it's pretty damn good.
Good stuff. How much power increase did it give you? Do you know how much faster it made the car?
It picked up a lot in my 450. In fact probably more then it was suppose to. I dont think its going to last with the boost as high as it it. The trans sometimes has issues keeping up with shifts in S+. I usually just leave it in S
What is the boost after the install????
Sorry man, I don't actually remember what the boost difference was after the tune as it's been 2 years since I've owned that car. I think it was somewhere around a couple pounds, but the gains felt significant.
is the C450 the C43?
It's a C450
Omg why you didnt have the ILS system? Only 700 bucks more and +20% sexyness
I hate the LED performance and halogen headlights
Lol I didn't order this car. It was a lease swap.
Any bolts one & what’s the gains?
Nope, no bolts at all. It's plug and play. The claim somewhere around 75 hp and I'd say it feels pretty close. The car came alive with the tune.
Why no boost overlay on 2nd run?...
It was merely an oversight. I just missed the boat on that one.
I just wanted to see how much the boost was increased with the tune do you know?
I totally get you. I don't for sure, but I'll try to remember to check in the next few days and get back to you.
Hey man, I did another video and added the boost overlay in it. It's literally the first 20 seconds; however, I have no explanation, because the boost numbers are lower than when I didn't have the tune on. I have no explanation, because it's clearly quicker with the tune and it might come down to the change in fuel, throttle mapping etc. What I do know is the weather is drastically different here in Florida than when I created the first video as it is far more humid and far hotter. That's all I got though. Either way, here it is: czcams.com/video/dhhYc36fdKE/video.html
Is this car reliable?
I only had it for 8 months, so I cannot speak to the long-term reliability so much. However, I can tell you unequivocally, I drive my cars harder than most people (almost to a fault), and I had zero issues with it.
Whats your Instagram?
