2004 Mercedes C55 W/ Kleemann Supercharger, Kleemann Headers, and Quaife LSD
This customer came in looking for quite a bit more power from his already stout C55 AMG. We paired him up with a Kleemann supercharger kit, Kleemann headers, and, to help get all the power down to the ground, a Quaife Limited Slip Differential.
Parts Installed:
Mercedes M113 (V8) 430/500/55 KLEEMANN Supercharger System
Mercedes M113 V8 Headers for C55 W203
Quaife LSD Differential
First, the supercharger
All stock, just waiting to get started
New supercharger bolted down
We had to remove the front bumper to route all the intercooler plumbing.
And the intercooler is all mounted
Intakes were installed and this part is all done. When compared to stock, even excluding statistics, we already see an improvement.
Stock
Versus the gorgeous new Kleemann set up
Now on to the headers we went
We quickly removed the stock headers and cats and figured we'd take a good look at the before and afters.
So bulky
And now so sleek
The Limited Slip Diff
Factory Differential
The new Quaife versus the OEM diff
We got the Quaife diff installed into the housing and back into the car.
And this job was done. It technically is a lot of work but for the benefits you receive in this combination of parts, it's well worth it. Our customer is super pleased with it and for that reason alone, we couldn't be happier.

Awesome write up and thread guys!
Would love to get the SC for my C55, just cant see myself spending 8-10g's on it at this point.
What exhaust is he running? True dual, True dual with X pipe or just factory piping for now?

Lol at least I'm not the only guy with a less-than-spotless engine bay lol!
Clean install GMP, thanks for posting!
Any chance you remember his exact time/trap speed? I've looked since he had similar mods with his headers, cams, etc. but have never found an actual time he posted...

I don't know the age of this kit, but do you guys remember if it used the fuel pressure regulator under the car and the inverter module or the secondary fuel pump and regulator under the hood?
