C55 AMG, 135i, 911 GT3, GLE43 AMG
The following is taken from press material from Mercedes Benz when they launched the C55 in 2004. It explains in part what is "new" in the C55 engine and exhuast system.
"Engine design benefits from more than three decades of AMG motor racing
The eight-cylinder engine equipped with three-valve technology and a twin-ignition system is loaded with high technology straight from the race track. In designing the engine, the engineers at Mercedes-AMG GmbH were able to call on the deep knowledge gained over more than three decades of motor racing. Cast pistons made of aluminium are used in the cylinders. Specially developed oil-gun jets keep the pistons cooled even during peak stress. “Hand-crafted” camshafts, a newly developed double-flow induction-pressure unit and a specially tuned variable induction pipe ensure that the cylinders are optimally filled at all engine speeds and create the technical basis for the engine’s sporty character.
Newly developed AMG sport exhaust system with low emission levels
The totally redesigned exhaust system equipped with wider pipes and modified mufflers reduces the exhaust back pressure and promotes higher power and torque levels. Four ceramic catalytic converters teamed up with secondary air injection and AMG’s specially tuned engine management system ensure highly effective emission control. None of the emission limits in effect around the world pose any problem for the C 55 AMG. It even meets the EU4 exhaust standard scheduled to take effect in 2005. The AMG sport exhaust system with its two oval chrome-plated twin tailpipes serves as more than an eye-catcher at the back of the vehicle. Its unmistakable V8 sound also expresses the dynamic character of the new AMG V8 top model in the C-Class. "

My understanding is that the C55 is naturally aspirated..I could be wrong..

It irritates me to read what certain members keep posting! Please guys, read carefully and avoid ignorant posts!

from 98-2004 all of the M113 V8's are the same.In 2001 they raised the compression from 10.5:1 to 11.0:1.
