For the 2004 S600: $3500 for the top ECU download (100HP), $6,500 for stainless steel exhaust (45HP), and $2400 enlarged throttle body (25HP). 170HP increase for $12,400.

All of the above voids the warranty.

If you have a Brabus, you already have one of the best ECU programs.

If you add that much power to your car, it's a good idea to upgrade your brakes too. Your ride can easily get you into the 190 m/hr range and you want to be sure you can stop that thing. Also think about a new airbox to help your car breath in better.

Actually my local dealer, I do believe, does NOT void the warranty with RennTech cars.

Some dealers will be more lenient than others, but if something big happens you may be in trouble.

My 2004 S 600 AMG has the AMG breaks and rotors. They work well.
