Question Need advise on mods...
I am new to the Mercedes side...I used to be an avid BMW guy...(I know most of the tricks with the new V10 engine in the M5/M6 to extract some more horsepower i.e. removing the charcoal air filters(free), upgrade the chip($1,000)...etc.) but I have no experience with Mercedes...what can I do to pump up the horsepower in my CLS63 ? (without spending thousands) Anything ??? Any air filters to remove ? How about upgrading the chip? Is it worth it...a little advice would be appreciated...

The 63 is pretty new so there isn't much yet. There's a ECU which costs like $3K. The bad news is that there are not and there will likely never be a $1000 mod for this car. Welcome to the board.
