any 2012 c300 engine mods?

There has to be some bolt on or minor install mods that boost the performance a little. Muffler? Downpipe? Intercooler? Something!

Bummed that my 2012 c300 does not have the 2013 3.5l engine. I want moar power

There are plenty of ECU tune websites and threads on this forum on...... don't see why you don't search before you make a thread

I don't really care for the ECU tune. I'm asking about actual add on performance mods. I saw the thread about the c250 intercooler and wondered if there were similar options for the c300.

i've done tons of research. since our cars are N/A engines. not much you can do. Only ECU (this is excluding suspension mods, which there aren't much as well). I have performance mufflers, don't feel much of a difference.

You sound upset that you can't afford to do a couple basic mods. How would selling my car make it faster? lol...There is a big difference between performance mods for a 228HP C300 and a 500HP AMG.

You spent far more then me even after the mods on my car. I have a car I can mod anyway I want. You spend your time on the forums admiring.

a tune will do more for power than any bolt on for a naturally aspirated engine. do some research before you dismiss the recommendations of people with actual experience.

Why is it that every kid who picks up a used C class think they deserve to be spoon fed readily available information? It's like they pick up a sense of entitlement just because they drive a second hand, entry level benz.

Go out and research this yourself, quit making threads for questions that are already answered, and most importantly - don't insult experienced members when they try to give you advice.

Check that passive aggressive attitude at the door you hormonal female. A random poster on an internet forum is not a valid source of experience.

Two months on the forum and you've already devolved to name calling? And sexist names at that?

I'm really surprised you even get replies when you have a record of asking for advice, and the immediately dismissing it because "A random poster on an internet forum is not a valid source of experience". I recommend that you drop the entitled attitude, or stop posting on these forums.

lol'ed at "experienced members" .... Experienced at what? Posting on an internet forum? You have no argument to make and nothing to contribute. You're insecure about my time on this forum and my cars progress. You're coming off like a passive aggressive female. Don't use this thread to go off on a tangent about your insecurities.

My sense of "entitlement" comes from my education and successful career not my car. This is an internet forum and I will be as blunt as I need. I'm not going to change my tone to sound less "entitled" just to comfort such a pathetic emasculated male.

it's kinda true that you do not use the search function before posting threads. There are ALOT of threads on performance mods for c300s, including 1 that i made as well....

this is hilarious.

Tell me more about your prestigious education, and the career success that led to your ability to purchase a $25k car and $4k in mods. i'm really interested in what makes you any different than my buddy who just bought a loaded honda accord.

You should stop by the SLS, G63/65, SL63/65, or M275 forums. These people own $200k+ cars and have every reason to act as entitled as you are. However, these people are also some of the most humble and helpful users on the forums. Maybe you can learn a thing or two.

My "argument" is the only reason you would make this thread. If no one is credible in your eyes, why even make a thread?
