SL600 (vs. AMG 65 + other videos)
Some of my videos...

SL600 0-150 plus some other random stuff in the mix.

Me (in the 600) running a CL65. On Pacific Coast Highway... in Mexico lol

Listen to that V12. Free breathing of course... waiting on the removal of the cats. I can't wait!

Just wanted to let you guys hear and see my SL in action. As far as I know, with the exception of course of the removed exhaust, my car is stock. And it hauls a$$

Edit: You can look through other videos I got by clicking on my youtube ID. Rate/Comment like Ice Cube said: "do ur thang!"

The mufflers at the very, very end are removed. With the exception of the cats, it's essentially straight-piped.

I read in one of your posts you said the F430 was a tad bit faster then your stock 65... I've seen videos to the contrary, do you know what your pushing to the wheels on your 65? How much faster is your 65 vs the 430 with the chip tune?

There's no secondary-cats on the 600s, or 65s for that matter. Just mufflers and resonators.
