I seriously dont think theres a gain of HP, the sound of ur exhaust is obviously different and also the sound of ur intake might sound diff too since u got the M271 K&N cone filter? u might hear a lil more of a "wheeee" or a slight air sucking noise, but drive it for a month or two, and u wont even hear that no more lol
dont expect to see much gain in hp for minor mods, remember, we're not....
if u have a civic, it might had made a differece

why wouldn't BRABUS, LORINSER or AMG body kits fit on the 2005 Coupé ?
(rhetorical question)
They fit on the 2002-2004 just fine....

In another thread on the E-Class forum I believe someone said that there was more to payin 800 dollars for the Eisenmann exhaust then just the sound and the name. If there is absolutely no performance gain then what is the point of getting the Eisenmann exhaust over the universal Borla one.

Did you ever consider weight difference, Borla's are heavy. Eisenmann makes the stock exhaust for the CLK DTM and the SLR...

Are you saying that if you dont really care about the difference those marginal couple LBS make Borla is a good way to go?

everyone forgot to factor in that renntech wing with the exhaust and filter....that wing should bump up the HP another good 4-5!!!

I personally have seen the BRABUS aero mods on the coupe and think they look great, very clean and classy. Add to that the fact that BRABUS aero parts are not as insanely priced as the wheels and its a great combo.

Is the Renntech wide body kit still around? Not exactly what I would do, but I did like the broad shouldered look...it kinda had a DTM vibe to it.
I think that was a Renntech, wasn't it? Bright metallic red showcar, right?
