Need performance upgrade

Greetings

Hello evreone...

This is my first thread

I have SL55 AMG 2005 and I would like to know 2 things

What is the best upgrade there is in the market?

And how to remove the ECU Chip from the car?

Please help me with this

Whew, that's some big nice font you have

Okay, the best upgrades and the most common are, as you've probably seen, the ECU upgrade. I personally don't know how to remove one, but I'm sure someone will pipe in here soon who knows about it.

Another upgrade that many people do are any of the following.

Anything exhaust system related (new headers all the way down to tips)
Then there are engine management options (ECU upgrades)
Underdrive Pulleys (uh? I'm not sure how to explain this)
Power Packages from EvoSport (This is the best)
New differentials (for getting that power to the street)
The Kleemann lowering module (for perfecting that look and handling)
Lighter Weight wheels (for handling and aesthetics)
Big Brake Kits (safety, handling, aesthetics)
New tires can make a huge difference
Also, there are body kits that a lot of people in the industry can make; such as Kleemann, RennTECH, Lorinser, and Fab to name a few.

Welcome to the mbworld forums, hope you have lotsa fun with your car! Congrats on the new purchase. What options did you get?

Thanks Ricky for the advice

I have Just pulled out my ECU unit and shipped it for modification to the powerchip company. they will send it back in a week, I will share my expierince with this modificatiion.

And about the options its fulley loaded with all options except the tyer pressuer system wich I had a very bad days with it on my S500 '99, also I've ordered a very nice steering wheel in Black/Berry red color to be fitted from the factory. Just two days ago I've installed the new SL65 front bumber wich called the performance package bumber. I will post some photos soon

2005 Kleemann Stage 3 E55
Fahad,

I had the chance to check out a Kleemann Stage 3 SL55 with all the goodies. It was featured in one of the recent noteworthy car magazines. Extremely nice finish and incredible power. I would reccomend contacting the team at www.kleemannusa.com for more information. I had them push my 2005 AMG E55 with SAE dyno results of 619 and torque of 657. ABSOLUTELY the most enjoyable car I have ever driven.
