Cool Just picked up a CLS 55

Finally I have managed to find a clean CLS 55
About 60k miles on it
Fab Design all Red interior
Im glad being a member of this forum and have found a tremandous amount of info in here.

To do lis(mods):
Secondary cat delete (x pipe) and staright pipes (resonater delete)
Looped fuel rail and injectors (it is a must from what I understood)
Not sure if I should go for a smaller sc pulley or the a crank pulley??
What you guys think and any suggestions will be helpful

Try to do the maintenance on this car first before doing mods. It will all fall in line!

Post pics of the interior! I never seen red interior on silver

Couldn't agree with you more DJRabbi! Get all maintenance done then you know what you have and there will be no surprises when you do the mods. Good luck.

The car was serviced at the dealership 2k miles ago.
The only issue i have found is the gas pump/and filter,,causing the gas smell inside and out of the car. I need to resolve this asap.

I will take some pics of the interior tomorrow and post them

I totally agree with you guys,,resolving the gas related issue is the first thing to do,,reading about the fuel rail and how it could affect cylinder #8 worries me though,,is upgrading fuel rail/injectors a must to do for a stock car as well,,i know I have a heavy foot

+2 ! maintain the car first.
For mod, I recommend header and tune first before any pulley. It will sound much better.

CLS 55 a great choice. Don't take anything than a free repair of the fuel tank sending unit if that's the cause of the fuel smell. Anything short of a no cost dealer repair call MB USA.

Holy cow that is RED! It must be custom cause I know MB offered red in the presidential CLS but had black accents
