Looks like fun!
What is Kleeman? A domestic company with a German sounding name for marketing purposes?
Does it have a new front cover, or does the engine, those hoses, that red wire, etc. just hang out in the open now?
(P.S. xpel, stongard, etc. would have really saved the paint on your front bumper!)

BrabusC,
Very nice...I would like to do the same to my C240, but I think I put way too many miles on my car for this to be practical.
Ben or Brandon,
Is there a optimum amount or recommended yearly mileage that Kleemann recommends with the addition of the SC? I have put on about 30,000 miles in one year and I dont see myself driving any less. I plan on keeping this car for awhile.

The red wire is the power supply for the factory air pump. It is relocated from the top of the motor to behind the bumper. The wiring harness must be lengthend, so that is what you are seeing.

Every think about including some black flexable OEM type conduit for that ?

My question earlier about "What is Kleeman" was serious. I take it "Kleeman" is a US company (based on their cheap US hardware shown in the pic), with a "Euro" sounding name ("Kompressor Fur Mercedes-Benz," etc) for marketing purposes.
They certainly are no AMG, etc. I don't think that AMG, etc. would leave an engine with no front cover, loose wires running over the engine, etc.
$10,000????? Good luck.

First, KLEEMANN with 2 N's. It is not a US based company. Do a search and research the stuff socal. Its not AMG but another company that utilizes superchargers as opposed to rebuilding the motor. The power you get is amazing and now I have more power than the C320. Its so much fun. Looks stock. No one really knows the difference when they pop my hood. I love it. Im very surprised at how good it feels. My expectations were less so imagine how good I feel about it. With my 6 speed its a blast. I imagaine the auto would also feel great. Just mash the petal and you're off.
