Is there a simple "chip" replacement that would bump a '96 C280 to 210-220HP? I'm only looking for modest gains, nothing more. Any other way to get a slight advantage over a stock C280? I already have K&N filter, but it didn't provide much of an increase at all.
I was thinking of Borla muffler as well, but if all I get out of it is noise and no performance increase, it's a waste of money. jPc |

I would expect about a 5-10HP gain from a borla cat-back system. A chip would probably get you 5% or so gain in HP and torque. If you already have the "sport" package then don't worry about it but otherwise I would recommend you get some more aggressive rubber on the car. Tirerack is a good place to browse around and learn what you might want. As far as computer tuning, whether your car's engine management computer is E-prom based or Microprocessor based will determine whether it is easily chipped or not. That is something that varies within models and model years. If you have any other questions or need help finding out feel free to email or post back.
