Default SuperSprint X pipe arrive and something else arrived too

The SuperSprint X pipe and the 2007 Jaguar XKR arrived , Yes I am very very excited because I still didnt see the XKR, It will be in my garage in a Week probably and the Super Sprint X pipe will be on the SLK by Mon-Tuesday hopefully with Kleemann 200 cell catalytic converters.

Just to remind you, my SLK55 AMG has the following:
Green Filters, Digi-Tec ecu upgrade with V/max pushed to 300kmh(tire limited) and Kleemann Catalytic Converters with SuperSprint X pipe. Hopefully with this setup I am around 390-400hp estmated and with the added torque from the aggressive Performance Map on the Ecu upgrade from Germany and from the Exhaust setup hopefully the MeanMachine SLK55 is just as fast as an SLK55 AMG Black Series or Faster. I know the SLK55 Black Series is lighter so thats its only benefit.

Congrats Mohammed,

very good this X-pipe, not that crossing crap like the 350 has.
But keep us informed about the increase of HPs.

Even a repair shop is palace over there, great!

Regards
Bernd

Thank you, Actually it isnt a palace the local SuperSprint Dealer (autodesign) also is the dealer for Pentagon Tint Films from England , Remus exhaust plus Kahn Design so they have to have a 1st class showroom.

The car was put on a lift to see if the exhaust fits and is compatiable but the works are done in a nearby garage and for 200dollars the labour part is quiet resonable dont you sau ?

In tight turns it feels as if its going to roll over whereas the Cayenne handles more like a sportscar, what I like about the Range is that the Torque is freely available whilst with the Cayenne it needs to be pushed a bit.

Mine is a 2006, has Digi-Tec ecu upgrade, Fabspeed catbypass pipes and Fabspeed mufflers plus BMC filters assuming 385-290hp which is as fast or faster than the new 08's with 4.8l engine.

My cousin has a reservation for a 08 he is replacing his 2003 GMC envoy that most of his disposible income goes for fixing that damn thing.

I swear I feel the SLK is faster now with the Larger Primary calatytics and the Xpipe [resonator removal], More Torque and Deep Muscular vocals of the Exhaust. Big Grin on my face once I strated the Car at SuperSprint, but I was insisting to know how it sounded before they handed it over to me; the Salesperson told me just start it.

Woah, Loving my exhaust setup!
