Another new owner 05' BLK/BLK Kleemann K-4

Hello All,
Want to introduce myself. I just bought a 05' E55 Kleemann K-4.. I have been eying them for a few years but had money tied up in another project. I actually built the car myself.
.

well it met its fate when a brake line ruptured..



So now on to my new toy.


It is a super clean 66,000mi 05' it pretty stripped down but i don't mind one bit, as I am a Tech and work out of an independent shop in Socal and have seen some cost that can rack up on the keyless go, pano , parking aid...

And hey it must be lighter. Cause I look forward to doing plenty of mods. and I was pleasantly surprised when I was checking the car out to find it had long tube stainless headers and some type of mid-pipe..

does anybody know what TB Kit this is or have seen it.


long tube pics

well after searching it seem it is a 80mm TB. It just keeps getting better. It also has A kleeman Crank pulley so I assume the headers are Kleeman long tubes as they look like it. Now I need to find out if it has a tune..



but it has the factory rear housing. so I Don't know what was done there..

As you're obvious a car guy who does a ton of work on his own I'm really looking forward to seeing where you'll go with the E55.

I bet that Ford with the 6.0 liter LS2 was a blast to drive.

Well After emailing Cory at Kleemann. The car ECU was tuned for their K-4 kit with Cams . only part i cant verify is the Cams yet. but I will be pulling valve cover to do V/C gaskets so I will look to see what is in there..

just keeps getting better and better...

congratulations!

i was looking at that car but passed due to no options whatsoever on it. i wanted at least keyless go and xenons ad cooled seats.

seller did not advertise any aftermarket upgrades. i would dyno to verify.
