I'm kind of partial to the steering wheel!

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.

Did you change your exhuast pipes? I thought the ones on the 65 engined cars are connected.

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.

Only on the newer models. Marcus' look like the stock tips...on the 05 SLs and 06 S65s they weren't connected...

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

Holy cow!

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

This gives you a slight idea of the tone, but really does a poor job of representing volume and the overall sound - especially with the tires squealing. I've tried to make a sound clip, and need to work on it a bit more.

Do the straight pipes make it "illegal" for noise codes (technically speaking)? I'm sure it sounds badass!

I might know....

Marcus, I love the shameless plug for CPT by using their business card. That's good!
