***Introducing Code3 Performance***


Introducing Code3 Performance; Bringing Passion to Performance

The Mercedes-Benz C32 was the turning point. After owning 36 vehicles in just under 20 years, it was the C32 that turned the tide for Code3 Performance owner Brandon Smith.

Smith was impressed with the C32s sleek look, ample comfort, and tangible power. But, as a long-time car enthusiast, Smith was disheartened to learn that while the retail value for the car was falling, the cost of aftermarket parts had not. In fact, in addition to the excessive cost of aftermarket parts for Mercedes, Smith realized that many desirable modifications were just not available.

Code3 Performance was created with the express purpose of bringing top quality aftermarket parts at the best price to performance ratio. For those who are just discovering Mercedes tuning or those ready to take their Mercedes to the next level, Smith and Code3 Performance welcome you to bring the passion back to performance.

As a new company in the auto-tuning industry, the team at Code3 Performance also believes strongly in supporting the auto community. We've become sponsors at MBWorld in order to lend our strengths to the car-lovers who lend ideas, help develop, and support our business.

At Code3 Performance, we're a family-run, family-oriented company. Our top priority is bringing great parts to excellent people. You'll always find us
to be ready and willing to help in any way we can, from helping you determine if a part is the right fit for your car, installing your Code3 Performance gear,
and any other questions that come up along the way.

In our starting line-up, you'll find Performance Heat Exchangers for the C32 and E55. Designed by Smith and hand-fabricated by our team of cooling experts, the Performance Heat Exchanger line is an instant hit among our testing crew. Also available now are our Adjustable Sway Bar End Links for the C32, C55, and C-Class vehicles. We are constantly expanding our product line. Please visit us at www.code3performance.com to find out more about our products and the Code3 Performance team.

The unit has been tested via Autoenginuity on the C32. The E55 unit has only been road tested at this point by TopGun32. However, we are test fitting the 04+ units at the end of the week, and will be getting some hard numbers for the E55 unit as well. This is the heat exchanger only at this point. We will be offering an E55 specific Chiller tank setup designed using the Johnson CM30 pump, all trunk mounted. Plus everything to separate the IC Circuit will be included.

C32 and E55 aftermarket HE differences

What's the difference between the c32 and the e55 HE? I noticed that the measurements are the same but still there is a price difference.

Becaues one is for E55
Tuners in general just mark up the hell out of parts for our cars... Look at pulleys, ECU, headers, etc...

the inlet and outlet pipes are located just slightly different. He did have to spend R&D time with me to make it fit.

We spend a total of 8 to 10 hours over 2 days (measuring, installing)


but at $699 why would any E55 owner complain?

similar HE are running at $1500 to $3000

The IC pump is only $100 +/-


Call Brandon, I'm pretty sure he can find a way to make squeeze a bit of savings.... but the man has to eat.
