Really bout all that is out there right now are headers, ECU and filters. Should put away most of your 10K on those from what I hear.

Right now RennTech offers a stage 1 upgrade which consists of Headers + ECU for a claimed 40 to 50 hp increase, but I'd wait a few months as EvoTech/EuroElities and VRP are working on a few more goodies....

Also, Brabus offers a package that consists of ECU upgrade + full exhaust system with high flow cats, but it costs $18,000 and claims of 50 hp increase

If you must have it now, go RennTech

Contact rarfinancial, he is a member on this board that has all the RennTech goodies already installed on his CLS63

Filters? What filters are you all talking about? I have not seeN any for the
63's yet. Can the secondary cats be removed without setting off any lights? You guys know me, I will investigate. Hello, I am a MODAHOLIC You will be too, very soon, BEWARE GRASS HOPPER.
Don't forget the Sprint booster , Lots of fun.. Welcome aboard

I think BMC filters has some for the 63's. Secondary cats wont cause the CEL light to come; check the youtube video's of the E63 with the secondary catalytics bypassed.

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
Fit a second hand 55K motor?

Sorry could not resist...

10k$ ... thats quite allot for N/A mods - you might get away with custom S/C or turbo setup for that ...

10k?

Isn't gonna do much.

My recommendations would be a set of light forged rims first. That can suck up 4-6k with tires.

2nd would be a set of headers.

3rd would be ECU.
