KLEEMANN C230K
pound for pound the BEST!!!!
I'm not in the *55 class but the c230k kit is excellent, and pound for pound Kleemann has the best kit for the $. Do the research. Reliable, non-invasive, beautiful, inexpensive (comparably)... pure GO-FAST!!!! Of course I'm biased. hehe

Since you drove the Kleeman E55k what are your impressions on the car? Do you think it's worth $17k for the S/C upgrade?

Yes, the downside is that you will make more enemies as you **** off every 996, Corvette Z06, M5 and new M3 owner out there as you blow by them with four doors!

Vic, I don't have figures, though I would guess that it would be 4.2-4.3 given a stock E55 should run 4.8s. Too bad you're not coming Saturday, I'm bringing the CLK43K. EvoSport is now a Kleemann dealer

My how the worm does turn...
Isn't this the same Kleeman that was pimping for a "volunteer" to slap this supercharger on a few months ago??
Sounds like we are going to hear a lot more about Kleeman...and I AM interested. I am interested in warranty on their work and history of longevity.....And what was that about a discount for a group buy..........

KLEEMANN USA Inc. would like to thank all of you who came out to Willow Springs over the past weekend. It was a very enjoyable time for us all- hopefully everyone got a chance to drive the cars and experience first hand what KLEEMANN has to offer. We will be working closely with our dealers to participate in as many of these kinds of events as possible, making the cars available to those who want to get some seat time.
BTW- KLEEMANN USA Inc. did not "pimp" for a vehicle on this forum- that post was made by an individual- unprofessional as it was, it was a good faith effort on their part to try and obtain a customer for a publication. KLEEMANN USA Inc. maintains its own demo vehicles, as do many of our dealers.

Kleeman....
So you weren't pimping...so fXXXing what? Did you read the rest of the post???????????
You are given an opportunity to speak to the warranty and durability of your product, yet you ignored that. Please elaborate on these issues unless you have nothing to say to these product oriented inquiries?????????????????????????
Thank you in advance for detailing your warranty of your work and products and for giving us a few examples of longevity of motors/vehicles utilizing your supercharger? And if it is too new to have good examples, give us your best estimate. TKU.

KLEEMANN warranty
KLEEMANN supercharger systems carry a one year, unlimited mileage warranty
against any failures of the supercharger system. This warranty does not
extend to the powertrain of the vehicle. KLEEMANN is working with several
aftermarket warranty companies to provide this additional protection.
It is illegal for a car manufacturer to deny a warranty for the installation
of aftermarket parts. The law stipulates that the burden of proof is to the
dealer/manf. to show that the aftermarket part caused whatever damage. This
can become a time and money consuming affair- hence our desire to offer a
warranty of our own.
KLEEMANN has been building these supercharger systems for over 3 years. Over
500 of these systems have been installed during this time. There have been
zero warranty claims for powertrain problems of any kind during this time.
Normal wear items such as belts and water pumps will, of course wear out at
some point. It is KLEEMANN's policy to provide the best customer care
possible, we will always do whatever it takes to service and support our
products.
KLEEMANN products are only installed by factory trained and authorized
dealers. The installation of our supercharger is a comprehensive activity
and cannot be left to unqualified shops. This is the only way we can insure
that the work is done correctly. Typically a vehicle is dynoed before and
after, driven for several city/hwy cycles and all values cross checked. The
last thing we want is an unsatisfied customer, or worse, a preventable
problem.

As a side note, the 2001 Kleemann E32K car had its SC installed with only 18 miles on the odometer. The car has well over 26,000 miles now in a short amount of time without fault. Interesting enough, Kleemann makes it a requirement on their own part to drive these cars from their homebase in Colorado to any and all events all over the country, on and off the track- no flatbeds, no trailers. I agree it's a new company here in the US and the product in the US has not been around for an extended period of time. But, what better way to stress test such a product than to drive it to and fro and spank on those miles! More so, Kleemann in Europe has been around for over 3 years and there's plenty of Kleemann cars runnind around there.
I've personally driven both their CLK43K and E32K on the track over the course of a day and I drove them very hard- they were as quiet as any stock car.
With respect to warranty of work, they selectively choose their network of dealers and installers who demonstrate the ability to accomodate such labor and undergo personal training by a Kleemann engineer. I'll let them comment on the specifics of the warranty of the product, but besides a one year, unlimited mile backing, I know that they stock plenty of parts at their warehouse to ship to your shop in case you need it. More important, the kit generates an impressive amount of power at only 7.3lbs of boost, thus it's not overly intrusive on the engine over an extended period of time.
