W205 C400
W205 Tuning

Hi everyone

I'm very excited that we have a few aftermarket parts/tunes available for C400/C450s. Also, AWE recently confirmed that their new exhaust is compatible with C400 in addition to C450 AMG. I'm planning on adding their track edition exhaust and am debating on an ECU or piggy back tune- OE or Burger.

I'm very new to the tuning scene and would like to know whether I should put work on exhaust or ECU/piggy first.

VR Tuned

I heard VR Tuned came out with a tune for the C450. Give VividRacing a call maybe they can hook you up with a good price.

If your car is a daily driver you may want to go with the touring exhaust. Good tone without the drone.

How soon do you plan to have it installed? I am currently debating but just trying to do my homework. OE, VR Racing & Kleemann all report very closely to the same numbers. Not sure if I am overlooking it but I haven't seen any hard data for Burger outside of possible percentage increases.

The ECU should be back Wednesday.

Let me know how the results of the OE tuning are. Very curious to see because they have a tune listed for the c300 I'm interested in and it says around 300hp.

I agree, the track edition is for that, track. It will sound great at WOT, but I'll bet he'd be sick of the droning after one week of normal driving.
