Thanks! No, not by myself, a company did that for me.
Actually france owner tuned it a bit with K&N air filters but I replaced them to stock ones. I don't see a point to use K&Ns, you can't really feel those 3(4?) extra ponnies and other thing you need to clean them often.
Also removed all 4 cats already, leaved the resonator. It sounds awesome!
I want to lower car an inch or so, especially the front. So planning to buy Bilstein coilovers. But I don't in a hurry with it, because of the price

Thanks again! 
Will try to film the exhaust sound as soon as I can. I want to lower it a bit only because of wheel gap between the arch. AMG is already lower than a standard C class, so it looks not that bad. When I look at it parked somewhere in some angles it looks great on that stock height. So I don't really decided to leave it like that or to buy coilovers. Those Bilsteins not cheap... Handling on stock AMG suspension is superb, very well balanced, really enjoying it.
All my cars I had before were lowered, not a fan of stock height Sold CL500 (C140) to buy this car. And must say I don't feel any discomfort driving C after big comfort boat CL C55 reminds me my first car - Opel Astra F GSI16V, after 3 years of driving a CL I missed that sporty filling of small and good handling car.
Sorry for offtopic.. Do C55 have different spring pads? It should, aren't it? Any chance to lower the front a bit with thinest pads avialable? I remember I tried to use #1 pads on my CL500 instead of #2, it didn't drop at all..

Look at this beautiful PRE-FACELIFT C55 lol. I like the headliner though and the fenders.
