Wow.......wow........wow...........
Guys,
I finally has my Kleemann alloy pulley installed today and to my surprised, the experienced was nothing like the last time with the "ring" pulley. There was hardly any whinning noise from the S/C at all, except for my AMG exhaust sound are much louder now. The power is AWESOME, once the S/C kick-in. There was no "black hole" at all because of my homemade MAS relocation mods. Guys, this is a mods that every C-coupe and Slk 230 owner MUST do !!!! For only $900, this is the best "bang for your buck" All i want to say now is that, i went from a bad experienced to a wonderful experienced thanks to Brandon from Kleemann, Simon, Brad and Ben from EvoSport. They acknowledged the mistake. They promised to take care of me and they did EXACTLY what they said they were going do to make me happy. They asked me what i want them to do to make me happy. I told them that i want the alloy pulley. Brandon then rush the alloy pulley over night to EvoSport, EvoSport then rush it to me next day. What a services !!! They absolutely deserves an "A+" for customer satifaction.
I also want to thanks, "Buellwinkle" for driving down to meet me and watch the installation. He's not only watch but also got his hand dirty by helping me. The installation were very easy with the "impact air gun". The only hard part we ran into were trying to remove the factory pulley after the bolt is removed, because the pulley is "pressed fit", but with a little of WD-40, it came right out. I also have to remove the complete alternator from the engine bracket to removed/install Kleemann alternator pulley because there were not enough space for the "air impact gun" to go in. One last note, those of you with high miles car that also want to change out the accesories belt for a newer one, you MUST install the accesories belt in first before you install the alloy pulley because kleemann alloy pulley is bigger now and so there's no space left for the belt to slid in. That is all folks !! Buellwinkle, it your turn, see you next week buddy.

Btw, this kleemann alloy pulley they send me, did not even cost me a penny more over the "ring" pulley. Thank you Kleemann and EvoSport.

Don't know what it's like installing the ring but the pulley was not that difficult once the old one broke lose. Made a huge difference in performance. Didn't even notice the exhaust note from the AMG exhaust until after the pulley. Can't wait until I get mine in a few days. UPS can be soooo slooooow sometimes.
