Mod help with my c300?

Hello guys!

I'm trying to make my 09 c300 go faster. However I'm new to cars so can you guys help me put together a list with reasonable cost.

Currently my list is like this:

1. Cold air intake
2. Quad exhaust tip with c63 diffuser.
3. No idea what to do
4. No idea what to do
...

So guys help please Tell me what a mod would do and how much it would cost


Thank you

Last I heard, powerchip went out of business.

For your 4-6. I mean, I'm sure if all of us had the money, we would have...
If he wants go fast mods, well there aren't many. He can try out the new headers MBH just released, but that comes at the price of his primary and secondary cats, which, depending on where he lives, may go against emissions regulations. He can always just stick with new filters+tune, maybe new mufflers if he wants to change up the sound/tweak backpressure for torque/high-end HP.

There arent many power gaining mods for our cars. Most mods will be exterior appearance mods such as wheels, suspension, tint, head/taillight. Good luck

Not sure how well it works but try a G-force chip, again, you might get the results you want. You may not. Doesn't hurt to try.
