Jeff maybe its because I freed up the entire exhaust system or something but my car pulls like a raging bull to redline with my 5.5l motor. I did drove my friends stock w208clk55 and while his car runs strong down low mid and topend we did notice that my car pulls harder up top . I never had a power fall off issue. Test drove her again yesterday to confirm. Car feels great and pulls hard to the rev limiter. Its definitely a fact that the M113 loves the exhaust freed up. You are a better man than me though. Its tough to think about getting rid of my car.


On a side note there is a guy on here from Maryland or PA with a Black w208 clk55 who built some custom headers and a dual 2.5 or 3 inch exhaust system. Car is extremely loud but he runs low 12's in the 1/4 mile. So I think a free flow exhaust makes a difference.

Sorry you had to let her go. I remember when my friend and i picked up some used disks from you a while ago in el dorado because his broke off after a light accident...

I got to see this car and i was amazed by it.

This is what a 202 should have been. 275s in the front if i remember, thats unheard off on a w202

Btw please dont disapoint us on the manifold mods....i have an extra m113 manifold to experiment with

I know this thread is long dead, but ive been trying to find out more info on the velocity stack mod. Does anyone know what RPM these stacks were tuned for ? He mentioned they were set for the 4th wave but never mentioned an rpm or a stack length.
