SL 55 AMG
Parts

Its so hard trying to find performance parts for my '03 SL55. I am going to go through VRP for all of this:

80mm Throttle Body
Cams
Airbox
Pulley
Belt Wrap kit
And maybe a tune

But I am having trouble finding a few things. Maybe ya'll could help me out? Here is what I am looking for:

Long Tube Headers
Full 3" Exhaust
ABC Module? for lowering

These items seem VERY hard to find for some reason. Does anyone even make them? I am kinda new to the R230 scene, so maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am also going to be going through evosport for the following:

Heat Exchanger kit
Quaife Differential
Phenolic Spacer Kit

Also, if you guys see anything I might be missing out on, or forgot to add to the shopping list please let me know. My goal is to be in the low 11's and trying REAL hard for a 10.99. I think I might need some of the funny gas for that though. lol

Thank you guys ahead of time for your help.

Semper Fidelis

ECU/TCU upgrade for certain. Check out Brabus or Kleemann for exhaust system and other mods. Also Renntech is well known. I have been happy with my Renntech Package plus Mod which includes IC pump, heat exchanger, larger SC pulley and ECU upgrade. After all of the mods you plan on doing you will want a pair of drag radials for the track.
