After 50km (abt 37 miles), the car feels like i have a different car compared to stock! I did not pushed it high revs, because the dealer told me not to do so. He informed me that i should go a bit calmly at the beginning, so as to give the car some time to 'learn' the kit.

However, i tested it upto 3500 rpm - all gears - and the torque is endless!! In a bit slippery road the ESP turned on with the 3rd gear - 2000 rpm!!!

Now, the car feels a lot sportier! Even with the 5th gear i can feel the torque! I think i did right on choosing Kleemann upgrade.

More impressions after the weekend!

I'm really happy...


P.S. Diclehana, go for it.

I am really happy for you, If you also changed the headers it must be one of a hell SLK 200 oh sorry Kleemann K4

After 3 days of cruising with the car, the mod looks great and i can't wait until i get the headers... The engine sound has changed to more aggressive due to the sports filter i guess, and the Kompressor can be heard even more ( like a continuous whistle - melody in my ears!).

The torque is high enough to overtake with great ease, even with a bigger gear in the box.

I think i should dyno my car now.

To junlin, i bet it has fallen under 7 secs,however i will try to get a clip for 0-100.

Wow ~that sounds great !

But I have to say the weight of the car is a little bit too heavy. It's easy to run under 7s if the weight can be reduced.

Keep updating ~
Looking forward to your Dyno chart and movie clip.

I will be difficult to get a clip of 0-100 since my SLK is equipped with the manual gearbox... (one hand on the wheel, one hand on the gearbox, third hand the cell phone/camera).

I think it will be rather dangerous...

Yeah, it's true. That's too dangerous.
Never mind. It's ok.
