RENNtech has been hard at work turning out our newest product line for the Mercedes SLS AMG. The initial response has been tremendous and at the moment have yet another two customers awaiting our ever expanding line of products for the SLS.



RENNtech currently offers for the SLS our rock solid ecu tuning software, sound and performance exhaust packages, long tube headers, transmission upgrades and our very own line of exterior aerodynamic upgrades. Here's a quick run down

-RENNtech ECU software tuning bumps performance from 563 HP and 479 LB-FT stock to a respectable 593 HP and 495 LB-FT. Our ECU software Retails for $3,495.00

-Renntech Sound and performance exhaust package with x pipe.
Our performance exhaust not only increases hp and torque +15 HP and +24 LB-FT respectively, but unleashes the true sound of hiding underneath the SLS's refined exterior. This creates a deep, rich exhaust note with little or no resonance in the cabin and is civilized enough at art throttle and idle, for everyday, around town driving. Retail $5695.00

Here a video and sound clip:

RENNtech SLS long tube headers
Designed and engineered in house specifically for the SLS, our long tube headers feature high quality, tri-metal, 200 cell sport catalytic cells and are ceramic coated to reduce heat in the engine compartment as well as combat against thermal stress. The headers are the perfect complement to our sound and performance exhaust and increase performance an additional +20 HP and +20 LB-FT.
Retail: $ 8,200




SLS Carbon Fiber Front Splitter
RENNtech’s one piece front splitter flows seamlessly into the front apron and is a simple, bolt on component which improves vehicle aesthetics and increases front end down force. This piece was designed and engineered in house by RENNtech and is a fully functional component which functions in complete harmony with our complementary rear diffuser. Our final production pieces are manufactured in full, high quality carbon fiber available in either matte or gloss UV protected finishes. Retail: $3,950









Carbon fiber rear diffuser
Our rear diffuser is the companion component to the front splitter and functions to decrease drag and increase down force by improving the underbody airflow and its transition to ambient air. As with the front splitter, our rear diffuser is a quick and easy install that requires no modifications to the SLS’s rear bumper or underbody. Our final production pieces are manufactured in full, high quality carbon fiber available in either matte or gloss UV protected finishes. Retail: $4,495.00










These are just the first few products RENNtech has developed for the SLS with more still to come. For more information regarding these, or any of our other performance products for Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley and Audi,

Beautiful cars and nice parts!

I gotta say what I am sure many are thinking.....
Why are RENNtech parts so expensive? I am not trying to start a war, I honestly am just curious.
I own a RENNtech pulley for my E55 that I purchased used. It is a very solid part, but I don't think I could justify spending the extra money it was when new.

 

It's pretty simple. The RENNtech prices include R&D. Many second-tier companies are copy cats, whether they're copying Renn or Brabus or whoever. I have some Renn parts on my car also and while I didn't pay for them directly (bought the car modded) I can vouch for the quality.

 

R&D, quality & fitment. You get what you pay for.

 

Thank you for the kudos gentleman. We are proud to announce this is just the first of several new products we will be rolling out for the SLS as well as other Mercedes models this year.

To explain why pricing on some items we sell is higher than others, perhaps the process in which we bring product to market should have a little light shined on it. As stated above, nearly everything we do is designed, rapid prototyped and engineered in house by the talented team of designers and engineers here at RENNtech. This allows us the ability to completely control the manufacturing process of product we stake our reputation on and in turn, ensure that everything we do is up to our (and our customers) most demanding standards.

For example, the above listed SLS carbon components start by under going months of design work, countless revisions, multiple prototype pieces and hours of engineering to ensure the part doesn't just fit, but functions. In addition, these carbon fiber components are done utilizing a pre-preg process, which differs from traditional lower cost wet lay up methods other companies use. I do believe the question as to what exactly this process is has come up in other product posts we have posted on the forum.

Pre-impregnated (pre-preg) fiber method creates stiffer, stronger laminates with controllable, predictable results and the result is a consistent, tight fiber weave which not only looks amazing, but adds strength. To explain this process in short, the fiber is pre-impregnated (hence the name) with resin at a production facility, rolled on spools, and frozen to prevent the resin from curing prematurely. This material is than cut and hand laid into a mold to the proper thickness and cured at strictly controlled temperatures. This process creates a laminate with a precisely controlled resin volume and in turn is 20-30% stiffer and stronger than an equivalent thickness wet laminate process. This ensures our customers receive components which not only look good on the vehicle standing still, but dont crack, warp, fall off or fade when mounted to the exterior of their 200k+ SLS after six months or while driving at high speed.

RENNtech has been an leader in the performance tuning business for over 21 years and continue to thrive as we ensure our customers get exactly what they pay for; Performance without compromise.

Thank you all for your interest, questions and continued support in the MB world community!

 

Not exactly. Have a proper look at the Brabus body parts here before making assertions about who is copying who. They've either sourced those sections directly from Brabus or they're a direct copy.

 

The carbon looks fantastic, guys. Well done.

 

Great looking products.... and the sound is incredible

 

Are you going to have a transmission upgrade? I am not cool with the SLS's transmission, it is not up to snuff. A better ecu would likely fix most issues. Would be a great / valuable mod.

 

Hello Renntech,

I would like to start by saying that my post is in no way intended to insult your tuning program or work. That said, I would like to know, do you really think that the tuning program of +65HP from exhaust, Headers, and ECU is really worth near $18,000. I have to be honest, and dont be dissapointed at this, but NO its not. Explain to me, why do I find a 30HP gain of ECU tuning not rough enough when other tuning warehouses are offering 45HP, 50HP, and 67HP.?

I had a A C63 tuned by Renntech. I have to say I was very dissapointed. Other C's tuned by OE, MKB, MHP, and PP-performance, were smoking me like hell (until I changed my Tune ofcourse). All I kept was the carbon fiber intake that you were offering (which is excellent).

I really dont see how your tuning mods for the SLS would compete with other tuners..

A tune for the SLS from various tuning companies can be performed For a much cheaper price than the one your offering, and can exceed your horsepower range .

How can you convince me?

 

Renntech is like Charlie Sheen....it's Winning!!!!! Duh!!LOL!

 

I agree with your Jacob. Reading things like this always remind me how nice it is to get 80whp from a $480 chip on the 335i. RENNtech is great products...however I would look on the secondary for them...no disrespect to the company but I would never purchase a RENNtech part unless its ebay or craigslist.

 

Same here bro. I am in no way disrespecting renntech. I know that for the AMG 55 kompressor engines, they have done some fine work, and they hold records. I just feel they need to change and reduce the prices of thier 63 AMG packages.

 

3495 dollars for 30 bhp, you must be crazy, I thought 1000 was too much.

 

Sorry, ehaust sounds like a missfire!

 

you have to pay to play... RENNtech parts are of the highest quality and reliability. I understand not all are willing to pay the high prices, yet RENNtech like other high end tuners are doing very well. Im sure you will all agree its not the the same as tuning a Japanese car. Everything about these top tier tuners gives owners confidence past 200 MPH, without worrying about catastrophic failure. R&D goes a long way and I'm sure anyone who understands how much good R&D costs will understand the higher price.

 

Not all the time.

Here's an example.

Header mods.

Renntech SLS Longtube Headers price $8200 (+20hp gain)

Now. What if there was another well known tuner out there who made a Longtube Headers with lets say +50hp gain for a price of $5000? (again this is just an example)

Which do you think is more enticing between the two?

 

Exactly , I do realize that a lot of work goes into these pro grammes for
re mapping . I had my 63 re mapped, I got it for nothing as he was a friend
but he would normally charge 1200 pounds for an extra 30 bhp same as
Rentech, same engine I suppose. It's sheer greed to charge 3500, people will
just go elsewhere. Sure tuning is an expensive game, but there is always
a choice. Does Rentech's mods affect the cars warranty, my upgrade has
full cover if the engine went bang.

 

All the tuners thats I mentioned above maintain factory warranty, and they are no lesser quality thatn that of renntech....Trust me

 

I don't know why this myth persists, but there are zero tuners (not RENNtech, not Brabus, etc.) that are "approved" by MB to tune these cars, and which "maintain" the factory warranty.

Please see: https://mbworld.org/forums/4416950-post1.html

 

MKB, PP-Performance, Carlsson......

what planet did you say you were from?

 

So, you're saying that you believe MKB, PP-Performance, Carlsson, and others (I can only assume you are thinking of others because of the "...") are approved by Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes will still cover your car if you buy from these tuners?

This is really not the right thread for this, since it's a bit of a thread-jacking (sorry, RT - trying to take it outside now), but go back and read your warranty. That document is a contract - this isn't about your opinion or what some salesman told you to get you to pay more for a specific brand of tuner.

I'm sorry to say it, but you're wrong. Go back to my thread, download the MB warranty, and see if there are any exceptions. There aren't. Be safe out there with your tuning,read the tuner's aftermarket warranty (if they have one - RENNtech, Speedriven, MKB, etc. all have strong warranties of their own, separate from Mercedes'), and make your decision. Do NOT make expensive tuning decisions based on the false belief that MBUSA will cover your tuned car if it's from an "approved" source ... whoever is telling you that is either a dreamer or a liar.

 

sometimes a car is to a point where an smaller gain can cost more money. I dont see anyone in this thread who owns an SLS complaining. Maybe if those complaining had the resources they would be able to justify the cost.

In my opinion renntech is quality and you pay for that.

 

This is perhaps only in the USA. In every other country (including mine), Every Benz Dealer has a tuning office, and you are given many options from various tuners (not Renntech) that you can tune your car without effecting the warranty. I have two AMG 63 cars that are tuned from PP-Performance that my dealer knows about, and I still take those cars for service and they are still on warranty (one of them is equipped with LT headers). I'm from Qatar. I used to live in the USA, the dealers there dont want to risk tuning cars because they violate emmision standards. Even stock US spec cars are more restrective than any other cars around the world. For example, everybody in this foum is talking about removing charcoal filters, when in fact, this isnt available in Euro or gulf spec cars. Another example, the catalic converters in US spec cars are much more restrictive than that of euro spec. It is for that reason, ou get less horsepower in US spec cars. A Euro Spec SL 63 makes 525 HP, while the US spec makes 518 HP (which is really more around 505). I know it sucks in the USA, that you dont get warranty with tuning, but thats not the case in Europe or in the Middle-East.

 

Don't even bother trying to rationalize or reason with people that live in that fantasy land... ya, MKB will cover it LOL. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, you gotta be prepared to pay if you want to play, meaning if you want to tune or mod your car to ANY level beyond stock you better be prepared to void your warranty and pay for repairs out of pocket. All the more reason to go to a high end tuner that takes time to properly R&D a product. I honestly can't believe any of you guys would troll eBay for "bargain" performance parts for you "expensive" AMG's
