new to mbworld. need some help

I'm looking to purchase an '05 c230k. I've searched the forum and am not finding many performance options for this engine. I've seen a lot of things for V6 & V8 but not the 4. TIA! Looking for retailers mostly.

What do you mean by performance? Stickers, wings, muffler, CAI, wheels, NO2, engine transplants, wide body kits? Is this for competition, street? What's your budget? Some people spend 100K on their Honda's, some just want a micky mouse CAI or a fart can exhaust.

Yes, check out RenntechMercedes.com they have a chip/pulley combo that's pretty reasonable and they have a cat back exhaust. I think for about $3K you'll be able to hold your own against the venerable C320, specially in the winter.

Stereo maybe tougher, is anyone making a bezzle kit for that car yet?
