Very awesome ride. Can't wait to hear it at one of the shows after your exhaust work! I should be at the outlets show again this Saturday with the silver Maserati pervertible. Hope to see you there.

I can't imagine how you drive on these crappy Colorado roads with such a low ride height. I'm guessing you just carry around a trailer full of splitters behind your car--just zip-tie a new one on every other stoplight

If you're looking for intakes, give this setup some thought. Sounds great to me. I'm debating buying one for my E55. It should work on your SL55. A guy on Bworld is using on in his SL55 powered Chrysler Crossfire.

Hahaha....maybe I'm just good at driving really low cars and this one is even easier, the ABC raises quicker than the airmatic on E55.

I think I'll get a 82mm TB kit before any other power mods.

BTW, I'll be there this Sat C&C.

Pretty noticeable difference, louder, it's perfect now.

No, I'm keeping my Radenergie silver.
BTW, you can paint wheels for pretty cheap on any local wheel shop, around $50/wheel here, less than $100/wheel for sure.

I put a thread for the HREs here:

You picked a winner bro. Mars red looks great and the Radenergie's scream class!
I just picked up an s550 but i was in the same boat shopping around for a low mileage sl55
Carbon lip was a nice touch until they screwed that up, check out the big carbon rear diffuser to match it looks AMAZING for the SL
I was going to upgrade to the 65 front bumper with vents on the side


ENJOY!!!

Thanks....there's a white/red SL55 for sale here on the forum, that would be my second choice if I haven't had mine.

The price is right not to mention the rare color combo. Its an 05' which is the first yr they updated the nav screen but the main drawback is the mileage is too high for me to be comfortable @ 70k

The ride does get a bit more "bumpy" the lower you go. Still rides nice though.
