Just Dyno-ed my car....
201 HP and 214lb-ft/TQ
The only "performance" modification is a CLK55 AMG Intake.
The car is rated at 275HP/295TQ at the crank. Theoretically, we should loose about 20% through the drivetrain for an automatic....which should yeild about 220HP/240TQ. Right??
Are these numbers low???

Correct. It could of had something to do with the Eisenmann. I believe resonator removal is for sound only. It reduces about 30lbs but I don't think hp is increased. At least not on my car.
I have the same engine as you and produced 211hp stock, which IMO is low compared to other cars with same engine. With the mods that you have, I do think your #'s should be higher.
Every car is different and responds differently to mods, so the best and only way to know, is to go back to stock and Dyno again.

This was before my AMG muffler and K&N Filters. These were also on the OEM AMG Wheels too. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing though. Those are very good numbers! Do you remember if they did a 3rd gear pull? Did it kick down a gear or did it go to redline?

hmm... just curious... but, why do so many have the obsession to dyno their car?
unless you do major performance mods to your car, and you track your car... does it really matter that much what it says on the dyno?
just a question... so, no flames needed... frankly, i'd rather spend the money and buy the car something small & nice....
