i have yet to put some Filters in like greens and looking to try and get a little noise out of the exhaust.... so it burbles but not intrusive... not sure to put a back box on or just do a centre box delete.......

car has been dyno'd ..... its all fly wheel bhp of course..... and been mapped for SUPER UNLEADED fuel which in the uk is at least 98 RON and mostly 99 RON..... if i put normal unleaded in it dets/pinks..........![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
without chip it made if i recall 358bhp and 401lbft... cars covered 86k miles
the 1st map on normal unleaded gave a raise of 15bhp....... but after tweeking it and messing about with it we finally got the 381bhp
the goal is 400bhp..... so next will be filters and try to source a better cold air feed.....![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
so in all fairness over stock car gained 23bhp and 27lbft
but it now has a very noticable power band mid range........

1999 E55
Engine Mounts
I had my engine mounts replaced last year. Apparently there are 2 sets for the N/A E55. Intially, MB installed the early ones on the car since the parts department thought they should be the same. However I noticed that there was a vibration that I started feeling thru the gear shifter that was never there before. I complained about this so they replaced the mounts again with the newer ones and the vibration went away. You might want to ask about this. Good luck.

Good luck. Hope they work for you. Just check for unusual vibrations coming thru the gear selector when you are driving especially on uneven roads.
