Blackbenzz in Philly

So I'm on I95 North trying to get to a bodyshop in north Philly and I just missed my exit since I was talking on my phone. I'm in the right lane fiddling with the navi to see what the next exit is and I glance at my rear view mirror.

I see a CLK that's all blacked out right behind me and think "that's not your garden variety CLK." Then I look a bit more and notice that the inside headlights are missing and have been modified as intakes. I say to myself "crap--I think that's blackbenzz!". Sure enough, Ahmad pulls up next to me and gives me a thumbs up and passes. He's maybe 10 car lengths ahead of me in the far left lane and opens her up a bit--his ride is definitely bad*ss.

Ahmad--

We've not met before--but I certainly know your car from reading up on the forums. I was the guy in the black/black C55. Sweet setup and good luck getting into the 10's.

Craig

Hey Craig. Yea I remember seeing you. Your car looked great! I was on my way to meet up BlackonBlackCLK to put some resonators in my car to quiet it down. I saw your car from way back and sped up to check it out. You are one of the few to hear the car in raw form lol It was annoyingly loud! I was going to post a thread now but just found yours. Thanks for the compliments Hope to see you around again

That was the original plan after I got the resonators put in but I was told its not worth retunig for just an exhaust.
