There is a handful of mods you can do with the C36. If you wanted a chip, I believe Powerchips from Austrailia can help you there. I think they opened a US distributer. If I recall correctly, that alone would get you in the 300hp/tq range.

Another thing to do is an intake. HKS has one for the C36, and several people have constructed their own intake which is placed at the front rigth foglight. I would leave your exhaust system alone. I hear it is very hard to improve on the AMG setup.

Other things you may want to consider. Try dropping the engine temps of your car. Maybe add some phenolic heat shields that go between the header and the engine block (ask speedybenz on this forum and others). Should drop your temp a few degrees. Maybe insulte your intake with thermo-wraps. Also lighten up your car.

IF you want to go out even more. Look for a lightweight flywheel, and maybe even a NO2 system. Talk to RollinAMG, he has a setup in his C36.

Best of luck,

moving to performance tuning. hopefully you can get more insight there.

btw - where are you located? passing smog would be difficult without a cat.

If you want induction system, there is 1 guy with twin turbo charged C36. It was a custom one.
