welcome jacques, im sure u'll love the ride for a long time to come. any plans to mod the car?

S.A.CLK

thanks for the welcome guys, mod's for now will only be tint, wheels, exhaust and intake, my last car i went all out on mods and the car wasn't reliable anymore, oh and maybe a software upgrade if one is available.

WELCOME! Very nice car! I just purchased my 04 clk 320 bout a month ago and when I took it to the dealer for service a software upgrade was avaiable so I think it might be for you also.

I did mines from speedtuningusa.com, a couple people did it from the 209 and 208 forums. I felt a big difference once mines kicked in. power and mpg increased. I live down the street from him so i just took my car to him, but most people just mailed out their ecu to him. i highly recommend him.

ok sweet, i'll check it out, i have a friend who's a fabricator so he can do my exhaust and make me some of these:

we'll do traight through stainless exhaust with some Burns Steel racing glass packs!

you shouldn't do that type of intake cuz all you'll be doing is bringing in hot air from the engine. the way the 500 is setup its bringing in cold air from outside. just get some green air filters and drop them in. Renntech air intake is also an option.

Ya I got a price for the Renntech carbon fiber airbox. It's $1795 with a 10+ HP gain. It's pricey, but it looks nice and decent HP gain. They also make camber correction kits.

S.A.CLK

here's what i'm thinking, it has the inlets for air right where the filters would be right, i can make two heat shields to go under the filters which would help with the engine bay heat, good idea or bad idea?
