NEW MERCEDES AMG C450 AND GLE450 TUNING BOX RELEASED
 

Edit: I see now gains were on 98 octane, so assuming those of us are using 93 octane, what kind of numbers can we expect? C450 here

I can't tell you without actually doing some runs.

This tuning box was produced by out partners in Germany and we would love to do physical testing here for ourselves. If anyone in the Southwest is willing to lend us their car or spend a day with us, we can definitely hook you up.

Or we can get you a big discount if you are willing to do some install pics and write up a review.

On another note, the dial on the back changes how it delivers the boost based on octane. Obviously the car retains all factory knock sensors so there is no way you can have an engine failure. Its changed in a safe manner.

how much boost over stock?

My current piggy back boost 3 pounds over stock with 91 oct fuel in CA.

I can get 5 pounds overs tock with 91 Oct and some E85 (4 gallons).

If you had the opportunity to scan stock boost, please let us know too.

I know the boost is cranked up. Let me verify with our partners in Europe to see by how much they turned it up.

Jacky

How about a proper cat back exhaust? Do you know of any in the pipeline? I fast and powerful car, must also sound good

No catbacks in the works yet. We are always welcoming local guys to let us borrow their cars for R&D.

so its just plugs in no wire cuts?

No cutting or splicing whatsoever. It's a very simple plug and play.

Jacky

Has anyone on here purchased this and can verify gains?

also can you confirm that you haven't tripped any alerts on the car?

I reached out to these guys to see about getting a test unit will purchase one if need be would love to get some step buy step install videos as well as gain videos up once i or someone on here gets a unit.

All testing was don with our partners in Europe. We are still looking for US testers.

PM me if you are interested and we can work out a deal.

Jacky

If you want to work out a deal on the new C400 one you have I will be a tester

Will PM you shortly.

also very interested. Would like a little more info before making the jump. Will it throw any codes?

Sorry for the late reply. Will not throw any codes. I already sent a unit for test out to a member and he will post some reviews.

PM me with your address if you are interested and I will get you a quote.

Jacky

Good afternoon everyone,
Just wanted to update you on my experience with Vivid Racing and the C450 tune that they have available. I have a full review available Here however the kit is definitely worth the money and I can confirm that as long as you install it right you will not trip any sensors in your car. One thing to note is to wait the full 5 minutes when switching from the tune to the bypass or your will trip some sensors and cause your check engine light to come on.

Here it is on our blog!

Big thanks to cajun1689 for this awesome review!

Read it on our blog here

The new Mercedes C450 AMG packs a punch with its 3.0L turbocharged engine producing 362bhp and 480nm of torque. We released our ECU Tuning Box kit which takes it up 80bhp and 100nm of torque over stock! But as all customers say, “show me the proof!” The dyno done at Corr Performance is on a Dyno Dynamics AWD dynamometer. We rate the tuning box gains at 80bhp. Typical drive train loss is about 20-25% for AWD. At 20% this would put the wheel horsepower gains at around 60 horsepower. As noted on the product this is using higher 98 octane in the UK. This car was tested in Lousiana, USA and most likely had 93octane pump fuel. Its peak all wheel horsepower gains were at 40awhp. Several variables can account for different dyno readings such as air temperature and especially fans creating a driving like scenario for the intercooler and air intake system. Our customer who operates C450AMG.com recently purchased one and did an independent review on the product. His full review includes the benefits of the driving performance, what to look out for when installing, and his end result of this purchase. From his review, he writes:

“In terms of performance the dyno results are in and three things are prevalent. First, it looks like the Tune learns from itself, providing better results the more you run it. I ran it on the dyno 3 times and each provided better results. I plan on running it one more time next week to see if i get even more out of the car. The second is that the internal stats lie… Meaning the numbers shown on the digital display differ the results of the dyno not a huge surprise here, but the digital display actually performed worse with the tune on which was surprising. The third is that the tune actually provides some incredible numbers below are the videos of the digital display as well as well as the dyno results.”

I am anxious for information on a proper catback exhaust fro one of the top guys like Akra, Eisenmann etc. Have anyone heard of any?

None yet from Akra or Eisenmann, but we can get the Meisterschaft GTS and GTC valvetronic exhausts.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Jacky

I am very interested, but it's difficult to pull the trigger on the GTS/GTC without at least hearing it. Is there any videos available with this exhaust? How's pricing?

I will PM you on the pricing. Let me get in contact with Meisterschaft first to see if they have any videos of it.

Jacky

What are the differences between the two?

The GTS is there high performance exhaust system and the GTC is the same exhaust but includes a valvtronic system that allows you to open and close the valves.

Also interested in hearing how it sounds...

Also what about us folks that for the night package, if we do get it, what are our options because it's not in black?

I just spoke to Meistershaft and they are still waiting to get a car for testing and sound clips.
