C300 sport 2008
Mods thread #2
Has anyone been noticing your car getting slower when you take off your mufflers, as well as the 2nd cats? I have an x-pipe in place of the cats and it sounds mean! like I honestly love the sound and so does everyone I drive past. Rumbles like a c63 with that deep tone, takes off a bit quieter but it is crazy impressive.
Anyone know where I can get cheap 17" rims that aren't crazy expensive?
I bought a powertune chip from ebay for c300 and I feel that it has made my shifting jerk a lot, could it be caused from the chip or from me?
(only reason I am ready to mod now is because I found 2 old iphone 6 in my house, one that is completely broken but has a good screen. The other just a cracked lcd and glass, was able to move screens myself as I have a lot of experience with electronics and traded it in to T-mobile for 300$ off a iphone 8 with 2 year plan so I got the 8+ and paid 100$ in total )

Was looking into a fart cannon for my c300, decided to take off my exhaust piping and just kept on the headers, I think my car is mean now! I put in a 20$ chip it worked fantastic.my car is easily pushing 500 to the wheel. I can't believe the difference it makes! I ****ING PUT A RENNTECH STICKER AND NOW I EASILY GAINED 25 HP

It wouldn't happen to be this, would it?

If so, I think you just wasted your money. For less than $80 you really think there is something that will boost your var's horespower "up to" 35% and increase torque "up to" 25% (which means it could also increase those things 0% as well), is compatible with ALL tramsmission type and virtually ANY gasoline engine? It says it is compatible with 1926 different vehicles! Plus, it leads you to believe it can remap the factory settings, although it does not specifically say that. This doesn't pass the smell test. Again, if it were that easy to get into the factory software and increase horsepower in any significant way, the factory would have done that years ago.
If it is a different chip, please post the details.

If you do a search on here about horsepower modification options for the W204 C300 you will find the options are very limited and the gains aren't too substantial. Plus, the cost is much higher than $79.95. There are tons of threads on here about that. This model has been around since 2008, so if there was some holy grail power upgrade out there some member would have found it by now.
