Very nice, Duane! I am looking to mod my E55 as well when it arrives. What made you decide on Kleemann? I ask this because I thought Renntech was in your neck of the woods. I am leaning towards the Kleemann or Carlsson at this point with the EVO cooling upgrade. It looks like no matter who I end up modding through, the car will have to be shipped whether to Southern California or elsewhere.

I am going with Kleemann because I think they provide good value for what get on a price per HP and the excellent reputation they have. Renntech Charges $10k almost for just headers,ecu and pulley which in my opinion is approaching gouging. I think that's crazy. The other thing is beyond the headers and pulley that Renntech offers they do not have anything above the 530 HP mark. Kleemann is approaching 600HP and 600 Torque. They do the Cam,ECU,pulley,headers, LSD,downpipe, and now they have an intercooler. I have not seen anyone on this board who is unhappy with the results.

Damn I'd give anything if I could have ordered my car with Flint.. I switched my pewter to silver because of the gold tint. This is a great color! Let alone, I forgot to order the "E55 option.."

congrats and enjoy
