Hey guys! I finally decided to go Stage 2 on my S 550 and cannot thank the guys at G Exhaust and M-TECH Performance enough for the incredible job they did on my car! I had custom catless downpipes made by G Exhaust then I went to M-TECH Performance to have the car retuned with their Stage 2 tune w/ V2 burble along with K&N high-flow air filters. All of this really helps the car breathe better and the results were instantly noticeable. The best part is there is zero drone or smell inside the car and it is more fun than ever to drive!

I Have a 2019 s 560 4 matic and have been debating on whether I should do a renntech tune for the hp, valves, air filters or keep it stock not to void my unlimited mile CPO warranty. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I havent seen any videos where specifically the 560 variant has been tuned. Is rentech the way to go? Is there other brands I should look into? Do I leave it stock. Great video !

@MercMan Жыл бұрын

If you want reliability and a warranty I definitely recommend RENNtech, and the 4.0L in the 560 is a great engine and makes really good power more than my 550 made and that was already a rocket ship

Both sound good dont get me wrong but the NA 6.4s just sound better with modded exhaust........oh and Im reason for watching your video is because im currently looking for an S550 or S63 AMG to replace my current 2020 Scatpack Charger.
