Marcus's SL65 Build Thread...
#29
This is great! Such a clean and beautiful SL65, I was wondering when will someone do the VRP build on the SL65 and get us some numbers. I saw all these CL65s having this setup. Kudos to you Marcus for building a true versatile street beast. Reminds me of your SP73HO Supra but much much much better of course.

Straight Pipes - one of the best mods you can do on a biturbo. I know the idea sounds a bit "ghetto" - but anyone who hears this monster will quickly think otherwise. This is how it should have come from AMG... it's a 604hp car... it needs a little bit of noise.

Not my SL600, but another member here (forget his name) after 3" cat-back straight pipes mod this is very close to what you'll hear, 65 may sound a hair different (Marcus will have to confirm) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApBD5YvaHNI

Great post Marcus. The addition of the lip spoiler makes a difference.

Car looks awesome man. I basically just straight piped my e55 and have kleemanns so when I romp on it the children and soccer moms run for the hills.
