New to forum and car for me (CLK 63 Cab)

http://https://mbworld.org/forums/new-members-check/619017-new-forum-first-amg-clk63-cab.html#post6740551

Hope I linked it right, how many other cab 63s are on here. I read a post from someone in Orlando I think going supercharged I think in my research? Any others?

Excited to learn more about the w209 and the m156 platform!

Congrats and Welcome, great looking car! I just picked up a CLK55 about a month ago and I think it is a beast, I can only imagine what the 6.3L is like

Thanks, Congrats on your car as well. Curious to your eurocharged tune as my father has an slk55 and was contemplating doing headers and tune from them (same motor).

Your car with just a resonator delete sounds really good and is a stout motor as well! You in FL?

Thanks, I will post my thoughts on the tune as soon as it is installed and I have had some time behind the wheel. Does your dad have much drone with a reso delete? I did that in a challenger that i used to have and around 2k rpm it was kind if annoying. I am in Philly now, but originally from LA...I used to live in pensacola though when I was stationed there when I was in the Navy. Best of luck with your new toy.

TMJ, the resonator (only) is removed from my car. Absolutely no drone, just a lovely light growl at speed that moves to a great sound when you open up the gas.

Tmj from my limited experience driving/riding experience with my fathers car is that there is no drone like floridawriter said, but does sound much deeper/aggressive under load, but not obnoxious like some domestic muscle cars get with loud exhausts.

Heading up to see Mickey near you flwriter this weekend, doubtful but will keep an eye out for your clk55.

Very nice car - love the silver. My (black) 07 has a Weistec tune, long tubes, midpipe and ROW airbox/filters. Ran a 12.4 @ 118 stock and holy crap what a difference after the mods. It's now being treated to a PSS9 setup, new wheels and a limited slip differential. I'll be interested to note the difference in traction 0-60.

Cheers!
Chris

Thanks for the welcome, sounds like you have a lot of work done! Would be interesting to hear how your LSD/Bilstein setup works out! Are you putting 19's on? What total size out of curiosity? I am contemplating 245 fronts and 265 rears when comes time for replacement.

Still thinking of getting the Eurocharged tune as well.

Also does your diff have a cooling fins and say AMG on it? Still don't know if that was factory or the previous owner put that on.
