no way I'm getting on of those fancy gadgets, coz u can get in serious trouble if found with one. Also the modern stuff used is practically undetectable. Don't forget that the high end radars are developed and manufactured in this wonderful country (Multinova for example). They have some experimental stuff which can detect, control and register around 20 cars at the same time The best detector is to do the route one way at regular speed, return at also same speed with eyes open all around, then do a blast run

You should remove the cats all together. The two main cats on my C36 plugged up over the years and I had them cut out and a straight pipe welded in their place. I also added a bung for the o2 sensor for the cats, I did the old spark plug anti fouler trick for the o2 sensor and its been working great so far (2k miles) and no CEL.

It definitely improved my C36 in the higher rpms, it breaths much better now, especially since my cats were plugged up for the most part. It is still very quiet by the way, I still have the stock resonator and the stock muffler on also.

I think I'm going to remove the resonator next, I need a little tone, but I'm worried about it being raspy since I don't have the cats to muffle the noise a bit. I've also considered removing the stock muffler and running straight pipe from the resonator so that it has more of a deeper tone. I would get the AMG tips welded back on though of course!

Wish we could remove cats completely but in most countries this kind of thing can get you in very serious trouble with the law if caught, not withstanding a non respect of the environment

I don't think this would fly in California

I don't think this would fly in any of the 50 states... If you could remove the cats then why would they have DEQ???

Received this morning a parcel delivered from the UK with a set of front and back EPC Yellowstuff pads I want some strong and fade resisting pads and never mind dust. I just have to save up for some OE rotors or find a way to get them cheaper, then it will be spanner and hammer time with a full bleed and change with some nice Castrol SRF

Okay fine then you damn tree huggers haha.

Most states that do smog, only plug it in and check for codes when it is OBD2, they do not physically sniff the exhaust, like they do with OBD1 cars.

I passed smog here in Nevada without cats, because I do not have a check engine light.

The best part about it is that the spark plug anti-fouler trick only costs like $6...

Just an easy way to free up a little power guys, but suit yourselves.

I called the number for the brake rotors and they have me the same price as the dealer almost?

Thought I'd revive this after a little research tonight.

For us C36 folk, Turbo Technics made a kit specifically for the M103/M104 engines. Twin Garret T2 turbos; intercooler mounted parallel with the block under the exhaust mani I believe; fed cold air from a tube from the bumper; and all the vacuum lines for the tranny, mounting brackets, and a modified throttle body to keep it up to mercedes running standards. This sold for only about £1,000 in the 90's. Coming soon to your local ebay/craigslist/mb forum

hm i'm waiting 1k sound a bit unreal not? I know there was a company that did offer a twin turbo for the c36, can't find it . If i'm not mistaking 450hp+-.

Great now I don't want to sell my C36 anymore....

"Turbocharger kits were offered for both the M103 and M104 engines by Turbo Technics, Mosselman, Lotec and other tuners. These conversions typically raised engine output to between 300 and 400 horsepower (300 kW). During the 1990s UK customers were able to buy new vehicles equipped with a Turbo Technics conversion directly from Mercedes dealer Hughes of Beaconsfield (limited run of 75 conversions)." -Wikipedia

It looks like the dealer that had these was trying to sell off the last of the kits in 2007. Here's a meaty article about it.

And Cassard, I know exactly what you mean

Nice find and good idea to post the info and link in this thread

eundaddy

I think OP should have all the mods condensed onto the first post so that we wouldnt have to scroll through all these pages to see the whole list.

One more mod to add is probably the adjustable camber bolts:
Part number: A2023300118

Also, here's a link to the club202 on how to make your own adjustable rear camber arms.

I wish we knew what the weight difference was, that would make the decision a lot easier as if I am dropping 10 lbs it's not worth it IMO.

If I did buy one I would have it painted to match my car, I think the CF look on a street driven W202 is not so hot now if we are talking track or DTM then by all means CF to the MAX!

nd4spd13

^Agreed. CF on the exterior of these cars just doesn't seem to fit with me. The door pillars are fine, but anything bigger like a hood, trunk etc... doesn't do it. Maybe a lip would be cool, on a silver or red one. mmm...
