For $3780 plus installation you can get 20 hp with a Renntech carbon fiber air intake, muffler and chip. Or you can get 10 hp with just the chip for $1600.
Brabus would be happy to swap your engine for a 3.8 liter of 272. hp. The price....? Well. they don't publish that, but if you can afford it, you wouldn't be driving a C240.
Carlsson will fit a 3.2 liter with 295 hp. Cost is probably similar to Brabus.
Vaeth has a range of V6's from 210 hp to 286 hp. Not cheap either.
An Upsolute chip is $500 for about 12 hp. $653 for an Eisenmann muffler will get you 6 to 10 hp. More extensive exhaust changes will add more hp.

The largest gain I see is 208 hp for the CLK55 and ML55.

Bosch +4s, a K&N air filter, and those Schatz exhaust tips should be good for around 25 hp.

To add...Carlsson also is making a supercharger kit for the c-class. I am not sure if it out for sale yet. Similar numbers to the Kleeman one.
Not very cost effective to try to get more hp out of the 2.6L motor. I cannot justify paying $3500 to get 20 extra hp from the Renntech kit - new airbox, exhaust, chip. I am not sure if that translates into real rear wheel hp gains. Oh well - if the motor can be tinckered with...I guess we will all try to get more from it.

Pardon my math on the original post. That is an increase of 56 hp, not 54.

One well equipped C240 + Brabus engine + Brabus brakes, wheels, tires and suspension + installation = C32 with a nice cash reserve. Or maybe ans SLK32.

...i wouldn't think so...because who can shift faster than a already 35% faster automatic transmission?the only advantage for a manual is on the race track where "prof driver" can do their toe and heel thing to keep the rev up when entering and exting a corner. manual are used because most of the time auto cannot handle the power as well as the manual trans do.

I am putting together the "Team Placebo Performance Pack" for the C240 and C320. It comes with a fresh set of High Performance Bosch +4 Plugs ("As Seen On TV!"), a K&N filter, High Performance Spark Plug Wires (think about that one!), a large roll of High Performance Metallic Duct Tape and a Kleeman Alloy Pulley (after you wrap your air intake with the Duct Tape to keep the intake cool, you can use some of the tape to tape the pulley to the intake).
This will be good for 28.6 hp, but more importantly, 30 lb/ft ft of torque. Of course, I will have some snazzy dyno graphs and charts to "prove" it (using the latest High Performance Dyno from Gluteous Maximus Dyno Co., Inc.).
At $2,800, my kit will be a bargain!
