2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK500
New CLK500 Owner, some questions about mods.
I've recently gotten into cars as a hobby, and picked myself up a 2005 CLK500 with roughly 48k~ miles on it.
I love the car dearly and plan on taking very good care of it. It is most certainly powerful compared to my old Lexus
.
With that being said, I'd like to make it a *bit* faster, without spending too much.
I'd love to get a Kleemann supercharger, but I don't think I want to spend $14k on parts and labor just yet haha.
I'm looking at the options of a new air filter, air intake, exhaust system (I'd LOVE to get a quad-tip!
), and ECU flashing.
Can anyone make some good recommendations for these things that won't break the bank? Which are worth doing and not? How much HP I can expect to add on?
Thanks in advance for answering my nooby questions
!
(I've also posted this in the W209 forums, not sure if that's against the rules, I just went there before this sub forum!)
