Just Bought a SL500, Introducing Myself

Hello, I'm a newbie to the R230 Forums, but posted quite a bit on the 208 and 209 forums. I recently purchased a white 2003 SL500 with oyster interior and the couple hours i been driving it, i been loving it. i purchased an extended warranty seeming as how i just did 15,000 dollars worth of repairs on my clk500, which is still under warranty as well. Any advice would be great. I put on my renntech air box off my clk500 onto the SL500 and most likely will get the evo sport pulleys and speed tuning ecu flash as they have made a decent amount of difference in my clk500. As far as exhaust goes I had a quad magnaflow set up on the clk500, do you guys think magnaflow will be well suited for the SL.

I would suggest the AMG 55 exhaust. Looks great, and
sounds even better.
