S55 performance upgrades

Hello all,

I would like to get more horsepower out of my S55 without spending a ton of money
I was thinking adding new borla S type mufflers and a ecu and tcu chip. Any thoughts?

Post your query in the AMG forum here with what year car you have.

Good luck,

Bob

hey Joe, you can start with pulley and tune. Depends on how far you want to go with things. Save mufflers for last. You can do some headers and rework exhaust. Would recommend X pipe, not for performance, but to help keep things quiet. I have an 05 S55 and just had my final tune done. Very satisfied with what this car has put down. Ended up with 540whp and 703wtq! Super impressed!
