How to Increase Horsepower in a Mercedes CLK 320


1. Remove the factory exhaust system and replace with any number of aftermarket systems. All of the aftermarket systems are designed to increase horsepower and overall performance by improving the flow of exhaust gases and reducing back pressure in the exhaust system. This is accomplished in large part through the use of wide diameter piping.
2. Modify the vehicle's electronic control unit by attaching an aftermarket performance chip. The aftermarket performance chip will alter the ECU to allow for the production of more horsepower. Additionally, many chips remap the fuel and ignition curves and raise the vehicle's rev limit to increase overall performance.
3. Replace the vehicle's factory air intake system with an aftermarket system designed to improve the flow of cool air into the engine. Aftermarket systems improve the flow of cool air into the engine by providing a wider and more direct path for cool air into the engine.
