2017 C43 AMG
Next mod ideas

Hi - not sure what to do for my next mod so need some advice. Currently, I have done the following on a 2017 C43 Amg Sedan
- JB4
- weistec downpipes
- BMS intaks
- H&R lowering springs
- H&R spacers
I'm not looking to replace the full exhaust or anything as that seems costly, but something a little simpler or a few simple changes.
Thoughts?

JB4 and their intakes will have you grinning and still leave money in your pocket...

Aside from some PS4S tires (which you did not list), unfortunately there are not many inexpensive mods existing. Lighter rims, upgraded intercooler, upgraded fuel system for e85 and an exhaust (assuming you do not have PE) are what immediately come to mind. The upgraded turbo for our car has not really evolved yet - but when it does, it will also not be inexpensive.

lighter wheels and better tires are the best mod you can do. Helps every aspect of the performance of the vehicle.

Here is a suggestion, not quite for performance but I did the sound deadener treatment on the inside and it at least has made the interior way more quiet than it was before. Which in turn has made it a lot more comfortable. We all know our cars aren't exactly plush and quiet on the inside compared to say the S class. But doing this is very noticeable and for me makes the long road trips a bit more pleasant.

Very cool. Congratulations and good luck with your build. There has been a lot of posts already in the forum on the BMS intakes and their benefit to the overall performance enhancement to our models. After reading those I am staying, for now, with the stock intakes (2016 C450AMG sedan)
Biggest change over stock (before starting in the engine) when I first started was putting in H&R springs.
Hope this helps and have fun 😁👍
