Kleeman TBs
Anyone performed a dyno before and after Kleeman Tbs installed. Seems like months since they were released and still no data.
Interested in purchasing if the claims of 30hp can be verified.
Thanks

I hope not, i haven't put headers on my car. I dont want it to get too loud plus it will mean i need to junk my Brabus tune and get a new one optimised for LT headers. TBs at <$4k yielding 30hp gain is, or me at least, a better deal than headers yielding 40-50hp at >$6-7k. I noticed in a past post that Cory at Kleeman says TBs dont need a specific ECU tune to accomodate them. I believe he said in one of his posts that the car's ECU could handle the airflow +/- 25% before a retune was required. I have hiflow cats and a freer flowing exhaust which may mitigate ipact of not having LT headers??

Sorry guys, Just have been busy at work, So yes I do have the Kleeman TB's installed. As you guys know I have done just about all there is to do to a 63, mod wise, so the TB's for me was a must. I will be doing a few dyno runs soon and with all the dyno time I have I feel I'll have enough data to report back. As for what I think about the mod, well I can say for sure that the yellow triangle comes on a whole lot more 
The shifting feels harder and the response of the car is much quicker. The car really seems to pull much harder. I drive the car like I just got a new car, remember the first few days of driving the AMG when you first biught it? Well, that's how it feels after the install 
.. If I had the choice to do it again, I would. It is like the icing on the cake. More hp? but car feels and pulls much better. I'll give full report after dyno runs in about a week or two.. I hope this helps
DO IT!
