So its been 3 days with my 2016 RC 300 AWD, I want more power and need to know what is the best ways of going about it?

I don't know squat about how to get more horsepower, what is the best way?

I am about to pull the trigger on intake,exhaust and springs.

What else is another option?

 

Sell it and buy the RC-F ....

 

A lot of places offer 5 day return policies with no questions asked (well, for used cars anyway). I don't buy new anymore. I'd do that and get the RC F. You could probably get a used RC F for the price you paid on a new RC 300 (if you bought it new).

There isn't much you can do for power right now with the ECU being locked. Intake and exhaust are about it. Maybe headers? You can also use NOS...

 

Good advice, first post I see, you seem like a troll.

 

One has to begin sometime, your question appeared the most obvious point.

One presumes you test drove the 300?

 

I test drove and I loved it and still do, just want to see what options is out there for future additional power.

I paid a insane price for a new car, 30K USD for a brand new RC 300...or 44250 CAD.

 

I test drove the RC 300h, was very impressed with the refinement, comfort and quietness. Expecting delivery late October. Coming from a CLS55 AMG I know I'm loosing -300bhp but tbh the drive and interior quality negates the loss. Can't wait to collect it, Sonic red with Clove leather

 

Noticed you're in Canada. The RC350 was available as well, just curious if you tried it out as well? It seems enough HP to boot around.

The intake and exahaust will make marginal changes, it'll probably add more of a "umph" to the sensation aspect of driving.

Regardless you still have a nice looking car.

 

i knew you were gonna make a post like this since you came from an ISF. Didn't think it would be this soon haha

Seriously though, return it and hope you didn't pass the deadline and miles, get your self a RCF

 

Hes right. Due to the locked ECU you cant make big power on these cars. Intake + Exhaust + Headers will get you maybe 30 more hp? Not really anything that you can feel.

There is some hope for the 200ts and I believe Stillen is working on a supercharger for the 3IS so perhaps they will do the same for the RC? The RCF will get you the most power for the money
