OE Tuning C63 AMG
C350 & C300 tuning
This is the first time I've heard of headers for the M276. What is the HP/Toque difference between stage1 (ECU only) vs stage2 (assuming stage2 = ECU+headers).
And...how much are the headers? Will the purchase of a stage2 tune INCLUDE the headers?
You have my interest peaked. I may have to change my plans around.![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)

i was thinking on getting throttle body and intake manifold from slk, headers, custom exhaust, bmc filters. what else is there to do besides boost? i heard these engines could handle nitrous because of the forged rods. is it possible to get like 350whp? how whp does the c350 from factory?
We have a few dealer location in NY, where in NY are you located? Your car can be flashed via OBD2 while you wait.

Hi there,
I own a 2012 c300 3.0L and I'm interested in doing this. This is the only car I own so I can't send the ecu to you guys for tuning.
if I want to do this myself with the flashloader, how much would it cost and is that all i need?
Thanks!

2012 and newer 300 & 350 GDi models require the ECU be removed for tuning. There is not an OBD2 flashing solution or flash loader available. The closest location that can flash your ECU while you wait is Lomotion in NY. Please ask for JJ.

Unfortunately I am not local, I live in west palm beach, fl
Hardware is available through other companies. We have tuned a few with this set-up in U.A.E. with great results.
We have not tuned yet for this set-up. Are you local to SoCal?

Well I finally did it. Initial driving impressions during my morning commute was that throttle response definitely changed. It's too premature to determine if this is a welcome change, but I primarily got the tune for HP/TQ increase as well as promised MPG improvement (at least that's what I tell my wife).
I know there is a learning curve, however the original throttle may be easier to manage in stop and go traffic. With this tune, I find myself having to feather the throttle quite a bit, but then again I originally thought the same when I first purchased the car 20k miles ago (I came from an Acura TL-S where the throttle was linear and didn't have any brake & throttle boosts).
For the first couple of tanks I'll be focused on driving lightly to see how much improvement the tune did for MPG. Anyone reading this should be able to follow the trend on FUELLY located in my signature below.
Prior to the tune, I was averaging about 25MPG for the entire tank consistently, where the best tank achieved 28 (FYI...morning commute yields better gas mileage than evening due to traffic).
Dealing with OE-Tuning and the local shop in San Francisco was straightforward. I would not hesitate to do business with them again, however I did have 1 disappointment unrelated to what was originally promised.
- I had requested an RPM indicator to tell me without driving, that the tune was NOT stock in the event I bring it in for dealer service and they flash it without telling me. FYI...default rev limiter while in park is 4k RPM. I requested to have this either removed or changed (3k or 5k), but was later told this limiter was not a property that can be changed from an ECU tune.
Let the efficiency test begin!
