Anyone know anything about KLEEMANN or BARBUS

Somebody mentioned Kleemann and Barbus to me and said they do engine upgrades on Mercedes like RennTech.

I looked them up on the internet and they seem to also offer a the line of body kits and some incredible interior upgrades.

Anyone had any experience with them and how was it?

Kleemann offers some of the best stuff ever.
Brabus is okay, and their salesmen are very ****y and arrogant.

Depending on what you need, I sugget you go for a set of wheels first, and then ECU upgrading, and then brakes. Maybe in a different order, but plan out what you want to do first.

I know a company that specializes in this kind of stuff, if you need their information, just PM me.

I bought a Brabus exhaust for my SL600. I had no problem with their sales people, however the exhaust wasn’t a perfect fit. The repair shop I used to install it couldn’t get it centered. I took it to a shop that restores exotic cars, where they managed to get it straight after some bending, cutting and welding. Now that it’s correctly mounted I do like the relatively subtle sound, so I’m satisfied overall.
