.... AND I cant wait to terrorize my neighborhood with loud noises

Cory from Kleemann is the man, really easy to work with. I am getting them installed at SpeeDriven in Palatine hopefully this Saturday. Marcin, I hear, is very knowledgeable.
I'll be running these with my current set up of deleted resonator/2ndary cats, modded air box and Eurocharged tune. Oh, and K&N drop ins.

Cant wait

Congrats man! Keep us posted!!

Sound so mean you going to get Grin on your face all day..

I think I have your current setup on my car. I'm curious if the current Eurocharged tune will be fine or if there are a lot of benefits retuning for the headers. Either way ->

MBNiko

I am definitely getting retuned! Trying to set that up for after the header install so Saturday late afternoon (Perks of living close to Jake from Eurocharged). If not, I'll try to do it remotely but definitely a Re-Tune ASAP after the install.

Eurocharged > OE..... had to throw that in.

I picked up +11.5rwhp and +23rwtq with a custom Eurocharged dyno retune. Definitely worth it in my book.

Congrats and enjoy Niko!

Hey Bro,u have a pm from me

amgen

....and after that you´ll probably want faster/tighter gearchanges,
get a TCU-tune!

crazeazn

good stuff!

ghiaguy

is the TCU tune Really worth it?? Really noticeable?

C_DirtyTwo

you're going to love the sound

amgen

I got the Kleemann TCU-tune, and yes, it´s really noticeable!!

Many times I´ve seen videos of fast C55:s, and when they change
gears it´s really slow...

With a TCU-tune you´ll probably be able to shave off some time in a
quater mile race, in my opinion. Not by much but still.

I enjoy the faster shifting everytime I´m behind the wheel!

Others with that particular tune can surely agree with me.

MBNiko

Interesting... that might be next after some cosmetic things in the spring. Do you have the C running catless and resonator-less?? Or just headers with stock exhaust?

MBNiko

Thanks man!!

Dre, I bet they kept your tune specs so when another C55 with headers rolls around for a tune they just copy yours. Well, thats what I'm hoping for at least

You car is going to be ridiculously loud without the resonator and secondary cats. I hope you don't daily drive it

amgen

Before fitting the Kleemann headers, I removed the resonator.
After fitting the headers (with primary cats gone), the drone
was too loud (in my Touring). So I let Kleemann weld it on and
now the sound is perfect!! It was fun to drive around the summer
with no resonator but after a while it thought it sounded like a
tugboat not worthy a Mercedes! Now it´s silent at highways but
really loud when I hit it. At idle you can now (compared to before
the headers) hear that mighty big V8 rumble which is really nice!

(I´ve removed the two restrictive factors, ie headers and primary.)

And before all that with only a ECU tune, I suddenly felt that the
gearchanges was the bottleneck. So I got the TCU tune which is
brilliant in my view!

MBNiko

I most definitely Daily Drive it! I like loud though... I guess we'll just have to see. Dre has his completely straight piped and said if you dont get after it its very capable of being tame.

MBNiko

Everything is set for tomorrow!! Ill post vids ASAP.

ChiCho55AMG

Still waiting

MBNiko

I'll probably start a new thread tonight with pics and vids!

Im absolutely loving it so far!!

ChiCho55AMG

OHH LALAAAA !

sweet jones

Can't wait to see some videos.

mylesq

ChiCho55AMG

We will know once he post the pics & videos in his new thread

MBNiko

Inside cabin sound.... not the best video but I guess you can call it a teaser
