Welcome. Nice car. Pretty cool your dad is into MB as well.
I do have one suggestion, if you want more of a rumble look into getting headers.
Replacing the AMG muffler for a chokemaster?

Don't bash it till you've heard it It actually picked up quite a bit of torque off the line because the stock muffler is a straight through type and doesn't provide as much backpressure. and i'm planning on getting headers soon i wanna get a cam too so it breathes a bit better I love the sound of cammed mercedes

Never been a fan of flowmaster mufflers. It earned its chokemaster name from the LS1 boards. They would lose a good amount of power with the flowmaster setup compared to stock. Have seen similar things on the mustang boards, but not nearly as bad.
Just stating my experience with them. My CLK55 with the stock mufflers sounds very mean with the addition of the Kleemann Headers. The stock mufflers flow quite well. I would have to see a dyno before and after to actually believe you picked up a noticeable amount of torque from the flowmaster.
Good luck with your modding! And remember, don't be afraid to rip it down the 1320 at least once.

And yeah i agree the stock muffler flowed alot more but having it in hurt bottom end I know i lost a LIL bit of top end but it's well worth it for the launch and sound i picked up My headers cam and tune will make up for the power
