2001 CL55 AMG

Hey guys, New CL owner here..

Hi everyone. My name's Peter and I'm new here. I am on Ferrarichat.com and a user over there told me to come here with my questions on my new 2001 CL55 AMG.. I got it two days ago and I just love it. Its my first nice car. I originally had a 2001 hyandai and 94 lincoln just to beat around in while i had my very modded 300zx twin turbo to play in. the CL isn' quite as fast as my 300zx especially around 130ish but down arond 0-80 the cl keeps its own. in any event, i just want to know how i can go about modding my CL while staying naturally aspirated. does the motor respond well to nitrous? I spent an hour looking at the Kleaman site and noticed they have some ECU's, headers, exhaust, and other tuning products. Also, I'm trying to turn off the stability programs and i read where you can force your car into test mode but i also ready it was only for the c32 AMG. anways, here are the pics and i'll start asking my questions later..

btw, I did not try to make it look like i have an 03. I just like that exaust better and like the 03 tail lights better. btw, i took off my mufflers and the car sounds AMAZING..

I forgot it was called Dyno mode & that's why I couldn't find it before.

Hello Peter,

I'm a very new CL55 owner as well (just purchased mine yesterday). I had an E55 modded by Kleemann which I traded in on this car. I had a K3 setup (ECU, larger crankshaft pulley for more boost, headers, and cams) with the Kleemann LSD (Limited Slip Differential).

Kleemann makes a great product and yes you can use Nitrous safely (as safe as it can be

as long as you use a wet setup. There are a few E55 owners who are using a wet setup with fantastic results. There are also a few doing a dry setup (adding no addition fuel with the nitrous) which I would not recommend doing.

By the way, I like your wheels. What make/model are they?

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Darren

congrats on new car. how loud is it with no mufflers? i imagine that it sounds amazing but very agressive. am thinking about taking out the resonators and keeping stock mufflers for a while on cl55.

Nice wheels Linh, I like them a lot better than the chrome ones. I forgot to tell you my old exhaust does NOT have an AMG stamp... let me know if you still want it.

I am not sure about headlight rings man.... seems a little "autozone" to me.
