03 S55 AMG
New owner of 03 S55 AMG
My Audi S6 was stolen recently so I decided to give Mercedes Benz a shot and I can't say I regret it one bit!
My ride is a black 2003 S55 AMG. I got it home and took care of the normal maintenance (full synth Mobil 1 oil and k&n filter) new air filters and a needed washing. Now has new toyo tires and an upgraded Bosch heat exchanger pump, muffler delete, but I have a fixed 77mm pulley waiting at home for a tune and belt to come!

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the pickup.

Do you have any audio clips? I'd be interested in hearing what she sounds like with the muffler delete.

I don't have any clips yet, but with any luck I'll be installing the new pulley this weekend (already have upgraded Bosch pump on) and I can likely get one then

Thanks for the support guys. And yes, upgraded lighting is a must, after I take care of tinting and some adjustable air ride lowering goodies (:
