W208 clk430 power upgrades
Hi I have a 2001 clk430.
I have a new amg airbox on the way with k&n filters but I was looking on other ways to upgrade. Ive heard about evosport pully kits but I can't find where to buy one. Also I was looking about ECU upgrades/tuning and headers. What should I do?

Welcome to MBWorld. Were you looking at a custom tune or out of the box tune? If you're looking for a custom tune, would make sense to have the other components in place, then get her tuned up. Otherwise, doesn't really matter which order. You could also look at downpipes and cat deletes to free up more power, but not sure if you're looking at shorties or longtube for your headers.

I was looking at a rentec ECU but it does make sense to get it turned after the fact.
Do uoy know where I can find downpipes? I think kleemenn stopped making theres. All I can find is bolt on heads from top speed pro 1.
