Kleemann Super Sound Exhaust -- *Sound Clip*
I posted this in the C55 forum, but figured you guys might like to take a look at it as well.
--------------------------------
After several requests, here it is. This clip doesn't even do the exhaust justice (poor quality/optimized for download). IMO, in person it sounds 10x better and at WOT it's a monster!

Didn't feel like registering but I'll check it out later.
If you don't mind, I'll share my unsolicited opinion about your 1/4 mile times.
You MUST get better tires for the track. You could have 800hp and your times would show little change without traction. You essentially have two choices: Get some OEM rims and BF drag radials. This is great for the sleeper effect as folks don't notice mismatched rims- a sure tell for running juiced up rubber. Secondly, call CCW and have them make you some custom rims which will allow you to run Mickey Thompson Street Radials. They are even stickier than the BF's and have more of a sidewall to wrinkle thus providing for a better start.
Lastly, did you try any runs with TC on? I've tried many of times to run a better time on the PS2's with TC off and never succeeded. While flooring it off the line forced TC to really kill the power, a hard start with WOT at around 25-30 mph proved to be the fastest.

I didn't try running with TC on. I figured it would yield a poorer time, because on the street it basically kills my power when I floor it. Interesting that you run a better time with it on... I guess I'll have to try that next time. Also, I was running 20psi in the tires... and a guy at the track told me that's one of my problems too. He said because they are street tires, I should be running at least 30 psi. Any additional comments would be greatly appreciated.
I am also planning on waiting until it cools down to run the car again.

I agree....I think we all are getting killed on launch due to weight torque and tires....
Still funny that some the fastest times we have from a stock E55 come from ole SGC at Moroso that just sits at the line at idle, while the crowd snickers , then feathers it perfectly from launch to near 12 flat with Contis....no more snickers.

They are a wonderful company that sells ultra strong (and good looking) wheels for a reasonable price. They will custom fit the wheels to your car to your specs. They have ways of working magic that other companies can not. For example 295 rears with no rubbing in a W211, 16 inch drag wheels on a W211 E55, massive front wheels on a E46 M3 with no rubbing.

I have their drag package for my Corvette. These are my street rears (19x12 with 345s) next to his drag rears (16x10 with 26x11.5x16 ET Streets)...
Is anyone running the CCW drag wheels on their W211? Pics?
