HP increases

With all the talk about HP ( that 25+ Hp increase thing is a scam for sure) I was wondering what the best sources of HP increases ar and the best bang for your buck?

ECU (PowerChips)
High Flow Filters (K&N)
Exhaust (Eisenmann, Remus, Supersprint)

Those are the more basic upgrades which are relatively simple. You could look into Kleemann for forced induction tuning, but it would be very cost ineffective to the point where a 55 would be a wiser choice.

Good luck and have fun.

No problem. I listed some of the companies which offer products for the more simple modifications. Powerchips for ECU, Eisenmann, Supersprint, Remus, etc for exhaust. K&N for filters.

Brabus, RennTech, Kleemann, Carlsson are all MB exclusive tuners, and the ones I mentioned also offer stellar products, but for a variety of cars.

Have fun.
