yeah there was a member on here who got them. make sure to use oem gaskets, the ones they provide suck. he ended up taking them off after a year or two because they kept leaking. I was planning on getting those and realized the eurocharged ones looked much better. ( still dont know long term testing on eurocharged though)

gixxerboy

ugh, i'll grab different gaskets. i guess i'll see. i got them dirt cheap from them and i dont pay labor so its worth a shot. Not what i wanted but the price was 2 good.

gixxerboy

well headers dont fit. not even close on the bolt pattern to block. sucks. Guess i'll call eurocharged monday

gixxerboy

So eurocharged doesnt have headers for a 550. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Kleemann

gixxerboy

they are out of stock and on back order for maybe 6 months

kb24forlife24

Oh dang that's crazy. Maybe you could look through a third party dealer? I don't know other brands for headers.

gixxerboy

I've been, sent out a ton of emails, but no luck with anyone.

kb24forlife24

That's weird that they're backordered for that long

gixxerboy

everyone have them for the clk55 or the 500, not the 550.

Cars going to body shop tomorrow for the diffuser.

So its taken 2 weeks to put no k&n's and the wheels today

kb24forlife24

What about the differential?

gixxerboy

i have it. I'm waiting, i want to buy either a quafie or kleemann lsd to put in it. Since the car will be down for a but with sending the trans computer out to get programed. I'm waiting to i want to spend the $$ and i might by an suv or pick up as a daily driver and to have while thats aparts.

kb24forlife24

Sorry I am not that familiar with LSD vs stock, but you have to have the stock differential from 55 to put an LSD with 3.06 gears? You can't just put the Quaife or Kleemann in place of stock?

gixxerboy

ok, i switched to the clk55 differential to change the gear ratio to the 3.06. I dont have to do anything else. But i want to put a lsd in it. That will aid with better traction. It doesnt have to be done.
or i could have put an lsd in my stock differential. It would have gave better traction but i would have still had the 2.65 gears

Amir_AMG

might as well just throw in a S/C and some long tube kleeman headers

gixxerboy

debating it. i have to buy another vehicle to drive everyday first

gixxerboy

Getting the diffuser installed.

If are thinking of a SC, just sell the car and get a C63. The money for the SC and labor + the value of your car almost equals a C63. My $0.02.

gixxerboy

nah, i like the clk looks better. and then its just another c63, ill want to do stuff to that too.

kb24forlife24

Yeah the CLK looks really nice from the back, especially with quad tips.

I was thinking of swapping the M113K engine into my car but I'd also have to get an E55K ECU and 5-speed transmission so it's too much of a hassle. It's a crazy build though, ultimate sleeper! Tune and headers and it's 500+ WHP!

gixxerboy

i could by a e63 engine trans and ecu, but there is so much more with our cars. Everything has a computer or module and who knows what would or wouldnt work. To scared to try it.

kb24forlife24

Yeah, so much that could go wrong.

Fatz

I hear ya on the CLK looks..... I've slowed on putting money in my C63 purchase piggy bank. The CLK performance isn't bad either...

I figure my CLK is 80% reflective of MB and 20% (and growing) reflective of me.

kb24forlife24

The 550 with tune and headers is pretty good, probably on par with a stock C63, correct me if I'm wrong.

Fatz have you ever put your car on the dyno?

Fatz

I did it once, a few years ago. 303hp/334tq... I did it planning to replace the exhaust and re-tune it and dyno it again. But I got busy and after those things were done and and I had time, the shop where I had it done stopped doing them.

Dyno setups are different and I just never had another one done.

With the exhaust, re-tune, and k&n filters it's probably 305/335........
