Keemann S/C and RPM Racing (NY)

All,

Have any of you used RPM Racing in NY to perform installations of Kleemann equipment. I am thinking of installing a S4 Kompressor or S5 package Kompressor and ECU on my 05 CLK500 :v and wanted to hear about experiences positive or negative.

Many Thanks,

Roger

2005 Kleemann Stage 3 E55
Rog,

In December I spoke with KleemannUSA and asked for distributors to talk to--they offered rpm. Talked to a guy at rpm for about 2 hours and he was very helpful. I forgot his hame but he knew that I was not a prospect for him (I took my car to Colo Springs), and he was very helpful. I've later learned from reading posts on this site that several people have had good experiences with rpm. Hope that helps.

i know a few people who have gone to RPM. Very very satisfied. If you're in NY tho I would also say take a look at AI design. Their shop looks top notch.

Beat me to it. If you're not satisfied with RPM Racing, haven't heard any bad things about them. I'd suggest going to Ai Design.

All,

Thanks for your positive responses. Have owned my car only 2 months and would love to start with the engine mods and build a sleeper, but hate to void the warranty so soon. Because this type of mod will void MB dealer warranty I'm looking into an aftermarket warranty for the drivetrain. Cory from Kleemann suggested I talk to "The Exotic Warranty Company" who their working with to offer full drivetrain warranty after the modes.

Any info you can give me on your experience with this company or suggestions for others would be appreciated.

Extended Warranty Companies

See below about saving a couple hundred bucks. Seems like a great site - http://www.extended-warranty.info/carwarranty/

"This is a relatively new page (July 2004) I've added in response to a lot of folks trying to get coverage for classic, exotic, or high mileage vehicles. Hope it helps.

Looking for a quality provider of extended vehicle warranty plans? I've compiled a list of many of the companies out on the webfor either new or used vehicles, and tried to include useful highlights and links to make the search a little easier. Please remember that while I try to insure the information is acurate and timely, from time to time, a piece of information on my site will become outdated. If you encounter an error, please email me and I'll try to correct it asap.

"Extended warranties and car insurance can all be purchased online. Spend some time examining exactly what coverage is available. There is a wide range among different plans. Finally, watch the amount of the deductible." - quote from Better Business Bureau web site.

This makes them very appealing for commercial use, alternative fuel, classic, custom, and hard to cover cars. As they don't sell online, they aren't eligible for the national BBB Reliability program, but are a member of the Phoenix chapter.

I've been told that if you mention the coupon code 0320, you can get a good break on the price. Someone please email me if you have found that they are no longer accepting this code."
