New C43 AMG owners has a few questions...
Hello everybody,
I have recently falled into the hands of a 00' C43 w/ 39K miles. Very happy with it! Can you guys please give me a list of alternatives that are a bit less inexpensive. For example Exhaust, Intake, etc.... Links to where I could get these would also be nice as well.
Also, the car feels like it doesn't pull as well as it should Off the line. Is this a computer restriction? Or possibly something in the transmission limiting me? Does anybody know if there is any type of torque converter with a higher stall speed I can get to help give me a little more boost Off the line? Other than 0-20 the car pulls VERY strong.
Just trying to do my reseach on the car. Thanks,
-Jason Elcan

2. Congrats on your new ride

3. I have some problems too with the power, it could be the air mass measurer
.... I have to change mine the second time yet!!!! Go to a dealer they can tell you what it is.
4. I can't tel you where to buy parts, I'm from another continent lol but try it at RennTech or Kleemann
I hope that helps a little bit.

Hello Jason,
Congrats for your purchase, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!!
I think AMG did a good job in terms of exhaust or intake and there is not a lot of upside (except if you remove the cats for example...). I know some of us did it but its not my case. Forget about cheap aftermarket parts, there is not enough volume to find cheap parts...
