texasC350

Hi, I just got bought a new 2012 C350 coupe with all the factory options. The proformance is great along with the comfort of the ride. My Question is, what are some of the best upgrades that would help the proformance even more with out making any dramastic changes to the car it self? Can I use any of the AMG parts on my car? Im looking for things such as Intak, exhaust, tuner etc.. I only want quality and am not to worried about the money. Please help with any suggestions

i know H&R are making sport springs for the 350. Lowers the car a little bit beyond 1 inch.

i hope a solid intake comes out. i'd love for the car to have a slightly more aggressive growl

yea i've had mine since march of last year an the only thing i've been able to do is exhaust. they have flash tunes but thats all i've found. really thinkin about selling mine if no performance part are avaliable soon.had better luck with my 05 m3. might go back check it out

Which exhaust brand have you placed?

I am hoping that Kleemann comes out with headers for the M276 . Brandon from Kleemann said that Since the market for performance on the M276, it may not be cost efficient to put a whole lot of R&D into this motor.

If you're talking power and torque there are three things readily available to you in multiple options and brands - air filter, exhaust and tune.

If you want serious performance gains - you'll have to go to a shop and get some serious changes made. If you want gains of 20-50 hp those three things above will give you some extra go.

I'm sorry but your car sounds awful I played it 4 times It sounds like one of those honda civics going by. I would think that a modified C350 exhaust would have a nice deeper growl.

Indeed that sounds horrible. V6's should have more of deeper tone and no raspy sound. That sounded like the exhaust was struggling to breathe or something. Not even my upgraded 4cyl exhaust sounds like that.

They sell performance headers for this car on eBay. To get that growl - my friends at Mercedes told me to go ahead and simply use the exhaust from an C63. Or e550. Of course the thing will have to be fitted.
I'm going with the E550 because the tips fit perfect into the squared exhaust space. Taking the resonator out too. Zroom

You really can't do too much with this car. I'm already thinking of buying a Cls63 or Cl63.
Im going to feel like I wasted time and money with this car until they figure out away to dumb this car down some so we can add performance parts to it like aftermarket turbos. Until them. It's parked.
If I can't get at least 400 hp from it. I don't want it

C63. Muffler is better it will give u that deep aggressive sound. E550 is really quiet

That is exactly what I did... But ended trading my 2012 E350 Coupe for a 2013 C63 AMG. I was looking to mod the E coupe but most mods are cosmetic . I did get an ECU tune by Eurocharged but still wasn't even scratching 330 crank HP. So before I started dumping anymore money into, I sold it. I got a great deal on the C63 since I was a repeat customer, wheeled and dealed for 10 hours! With my Ecoupe as a trade in, I walked away with my 2013 C63 AMG for $48K, zero down. Had it shipped from Beverly Hills and had 6 miles on it at time of delivery! Best thing I ever did.

You can only get that deeper unique sound from a M156 6.2 liter V8. Muffler alone doesn't do it.
