Performance Mods for M276 NA
Good evening, I have a 15 ML350 with the NA m276. I'm not really looking to boost 0-60 times or anything like that but just give the car some more pep. My budget is around $200 and I dont think a tune would suffice on an NA engine. Is their any upgrades that can be done to make the car feel a little faster or zippier, not expecting any huge gains. Additionally anything to make the exhaust breathe a little more. Thank You.

This checks all your targets:
cost

There is nothing you can do to add performance for that price on this engine. Best thing is to keep it in tip top shape. Engine mods cost major money on N/A Engines. Everything would be done by major tuning companies that would run you well into the thousands over and over again. ECU tune will get you maybe 10bhp

Could you send a link to the parts, and would it be a small increase in performance or make the car feel more "woke"? Also with the upgraded air filter would their be more induction sound? Thank You.

OEM Filters works just fine. Keep them clean and fresh. The other stuff just isn’t good.
