Best 7 things you can do with this car are 1: fit a larger inter cooler for the supercharger, 2: Split the cooling system, 3: Upgrade the intercooler pump, 4: Fit a 77mm clutched pulley, 5: Fit 550cc injectors, 6: Get a tune (Eurocharged, VRP, German Muscle etc etc), 7: 1 step colder plugs. That will give you the best price to performance ratio - assuming you do the work yourself you'd be into it for about $2,000 to $2,500. I went a little further with short headers and a 92mm throttle body but really the cost of those and having them fitted was not worth the gain. Oh and get the supercharger serviced as well. Great fucking car.
I want to maintain that sleeper identity on my 04 E55, so I'm not sure about the headers and increasing the growl from the exhaust, but I will definitely be upgrading the supercharger pulley.
I'm sorry those mods do not give you over 600 hp. You'll dyno @ 440 - 450 whp which is about 520 at the crank. Legit Street Cars E55 has more mods and dyno's at 460 whp
yes, not at the wheel. wasn't talking at the wheel. No plans to Dyno... its just eay faster than stock. Why doesn't Mercedes, Porsche etc... put WHP in their specs?
E55 owner here. Sorry bud, you’re hyping things up for people that don’t know these cars. They can sound great (yours does) and you *can bolt on solid power. Fact is, you have no idea what kind of gains your car has. Can’t just add VRP and Kleemann’s advertised HP gains, add another 25hp just cuz and advertise your car as 600hp. Ex. - I have a strong running 04, 168/84 pulley combo, 82mm TB, ceramic coated EC mid headers, 3” no cats, xpipe, res delete, stock mufflers. 010 Bosch intercooler pump, big HX, went 495hp/540ft lbs on a mustang dyno. 540/600 on a dyno jet.

Hey, I'm thinking about buying an e55 amg with 177k kilometers. The seller put a lot of work into the engine, and it's listed for $17k. Do you think that's worth it?
well, if you found one for 12k, you'd likely have to put alot of baselining $$$..So if he has receipts for alot of work and parts, then yes.. because it saves you from having to pay it, and the E55s will be recognized one day as a bullet proof monster, and values will go up.
Fixed my issue the Bluetooth puck was ripped out by previous owner, leaving exposed wires, they would short and pop the fuse in the trunk. I electrical taped the wires problem solved. Although I can maybe just remove the harness later and replace it later. If my ocd needs to. My supercharger pulley went out, replaced that from eBay parts
@@CruisingTheLand best case 550hp at the crank, for the 1-2 short pulls you make in 80 degree ambient temps before IAT starts to pull timing and rob power. You’re down 40hp after 125 deg IAT. Still sounds good of course, cars not a slug by any means. Just need to be realistic.
They are Lorinser, knock off, but are great because they aren't 3 piece. I have a great set of Asanit 20" staggered deep dish, but they are always having problems with the 3 piece.
I would start with supporting mods mainly cooling mods so the car doesn’t over heat. These mods are great for power but set up like this 2-3 pulls in and your supercharger will disengage due to a safety feature and the car will be heat soaked and slow
Heat exchange mod and the car will never over heat or get too hot, it's a great mod, u could be racing all day and it will still perform at 100% The heat exchange is a major mod to do! 👍👍
This guys definitely not making 600hp neither with just a tune headers and pulley. 469 crank hp. Car prolly makes 510-530 wheel hp. Factory blower won’t get you to 600hp nor will the injectors
I feel so lucky to finally purchase a 2004 after researching for over 8 years. I can't wait to look into the smaller pulley. Everything else, was done that you mentioned for mine when I purchased last June.
You got a keeper. I almost made my friend in his Model Y performance deaf. He was beside me when we did a 1-2-3! Rolling at 40mph, his window down and he got FULL exhaust note. It surprised him, he thought for sure he'd beat me, instead he lost his confidence and hearing in his left ear.
Been looking for one these for the longest. Now I own a 2005 at 17 years old it’s running around 600hp on stage 3 kleeman tune, long tube headers, vrp heat exchanger and pump, performance cam and some other mods. In love with it.
Awesome car man I love the W211 model in general and of course the E55 is the best. Also the build quality is amazing these cars age very well. Fun fact, this is also the same engine in the SLR McLaren supercar which produces well over 600hp stock.
Nice I have a 05 with lower 180 pulley mid length headers eurocaharge split cooling upgraded pump 550 injectors loop fuel rail 3in exhaust with the ram air ducks i love my car super fast and magnaflow mufflers... not to many cars can out run it... best bang for the buck bought mine in 2011 for 20000 white with blue interior 💙
I'm doing the 7 step program as stated by another viewer. Then will put electric cutouts before my stock back boxes so I can keep the sound stock unless I don't.
This car makes only sense on German Autobahn 🤪👍 So you can ride down 750 km with up to 200 mph. When this tune-up is solid... In U.S. you got speed limits, not so funny.
I only own my E55 after finding Alex’s channel late one night when I was looking for a unique daily driver. After seeing his cars and mods he did, I was hooked and found one a week later very close to him in Chicago. He gets blamed when I spend money for mods on my car A LOT! "But honey, Alex made me do it!"
Clean car. I'm up in NorCal and have the 04 SL55, same upgrades with some added cooling, but not the headers. I can't fit long tube headers in the SL and mid-length don't seem to be worth the money for the added power. Deleted the resonators out of the back so it opens up the sound to just the right roar, without being obnoxious. I've got the dark blue over light gray, same LM6 wheels that I had powder coated just a single shade darker. They were a bit too bright with the blue paint (back opal).
@@CruisingTheLand I got A 2004 E55 AMG (Brilliant Silver Metallic) with 89,000 mile. No mods yet.....lol. It is currently in mint condition. It was maintained at MB dealer only. I paid $11,200 for it.
@@ethanbrown9985 i got the car from north carolina at blue book value. Its just finding the right seller ,who will sell the car at KBB VALUE. Alot of people are over pricing the cars. You can find really great w211 E55 AMG in great condition for under $11k-14k
Beautiful E55! I got a great deal on a nearly identical 2005 (stock wheels) with just at 100k miles and I did the i/c pump, split cooler and secondary inter cooler upgrade and a 76mm clutched pulley and purchased the tune and colder plugs from VRP and it really woke it up and I have not noticed any difference in drivability or mileage. I don’t care for the engagement jerk at low speeds so when I do the headers and Killer Chiller I’m going to a fixed pulley (al la the E55 Alex of LegitStreetCars built) and I’m doing a trans fluid flush and conductor plate this month and that will take care of the last of the maintenance items list. I’m looking for headers and I think I am going with the Top Speed Pro 1 catted (smog state) and do Black Series mounts and flex discs ‘while I’m in there’. I went a little crazy on FCP Euro and bought every single suspension part they sell just sitting on a shelf waiting for a nice day. I have replaced a few little clips and switches but these cars are rock-simple mechanically and if you get a few special tools and a scanner (icarsoft makes several affordable models) there is very little you can’t do yourself on these cars. If you just want a V8, you can get an E500 this era super cheap that can be made to sound great and can even be found in 4Matic all wheel drive. These are great cars and as long as you do your due diligence on finding a well cared for example you will never be sorry you own one! I would get in mine and drive it just about anywhere without hesitation. They are very reliable and fit and materials all hold up very well, even in high mileage examples and it is not unheard of for owners to get 400k to 500k miles just doing regular maintenance before anything major (outside of some oil leaks that arise) has to be rebuilt or replaced in these cars. I’m actually looking for an E350 4Matic W211 for my teenage son since we know how to work on them now and have some spare parts accumulating in the garage, lol. Enjoy your AMG, it looks and sounds great!
Definitely not getting 600hp from just a pully and headers and tune. The engine makes 469hp at the crank. Not the rear tire. Headers, tune, catless exhaust pulley will only make 500-520wheel hp. If you want over 550 the stock blower must go.
who said at the wheel? It takes the 469hp stock to right about 600hp.. at the crank. People understand that better than this Title: E55 is now 469 at the wheels and not at the crank
@@CruisingTheLand i specifically stated (at crank) just to see if you would try to reply to that statement. Your video says how to upgrade your car to 600hp. In reality it should be (how to make 500hp in your e55. Just click bait, and unicorn dreams.
@@justinwaters-w8e Sure.. Pulley, headers give 31hp!! LMAO. Bro you are on the wrong video, I think you are looking for Honda SI tunes. I should post a video of my E55 smoking my friends dual motor performace model Y (both rolling start of course at 20mpg)
I’m looking to buying one soon but the seller who has the one I want wants $16,000 with 146k miles, is that a good price or should I talk him down to $12,000 at least ? Let me know please… I don’t know much about these so I don’t wanna over pay
Always talk a price doen to your best value. A higher price is worth it if they have done extensive maintenance.. Motor mounts, SBC brake warranty, air suspension, etc... means less repairs for you.
Love those wheels. I have a mint 2003 Desert Silver E55. 80K miles. Recently took it in for a slight rear main oil leak. New motor mounts also. With tranny and exhaust out for the rear main repair, one of my exhaust manifolds was rusted and the flange portion completely snapped off! I figured might as well put long tube headers on given the cost of new manifolds. Shop said they wouldn’t charge for labor since everything was already out for the rear main repair. Also did a Kleeman lower crank pulley. They had a NOS in the shop. Kleeman apparently doesn’t make this pulley anymore. Kleeman ECU flash. Went with the lower pulley because the upper pulleys tend to come apart and break. And the fixed one piece upper pulleys may cause some cooling issues since blower always spinning. Car is fast AF
@@CruisingTheLand you know, honestly, the car really doesn’t sound all that different with the headers surprisingly. I have a 70K mile triple black 2001 Camaro SS vert 6 speed. One of the cats went bad so I replaced everything with Texas Speed long tubes. Stock muffler and stock dual dual tips. Now THAT car sounds insane with just the addition of the headers. Sounds like a NASCAR stocker. Only other mod is 4.11 rear. Much better drivability. The 6 speed was worthless for in town driving with the stock 2.73. My other AMG is a stock 03 SL55. Also have a 1990 ZR1 Vette. Also another sort of Benz. 2005 Crossfire Vert.
Hey buddy the stock pulley is a 91mm not an 83mm. You should dyno the car so you have a better idea of what your making. You could be surprised how much you could be losing from the IATs.
Well, after the mods, the butt dyno says this thing rips... Remember, stock.HP.is not WHP either. Besides, the power is great, but the sound is intoxicating.
493 minus the possible 30 percent lose through drive train is roughly 375 left making it to the wheels with all these mods I'd say your jow at a comfortable 500 wheel horses which is nothinv to sneeze at in today's day and age in a mercendes benz thats 15 plus years old
E55 - Never gets old. Because of Alex @ legitstreetcar, we picked one up about 2 years ago with 140l miles. • Did you install a larger heat exchanger and updated pump? • Which tune are you running? I've been on the mbworld forum reading as much as possible. Got a STAR laptop from Shardul. It's been very helpful in troubleshooting. Saved a bunch of money so far. Now waiting for SBC counter to kick in and leave me stranded. Just thinking about taking it to Stealership 😱😱😱. So far, it's got an pulley scatteshield, 83.7 UDP pulley (gonna have to look into getting a smaller one), PLM (XL) heat exchanger, stage 2 tune from Tony @ raceiq. Now its got pretty bad exhaust leak. Been reading LTH are the way to go but will look into mid-length. Thanks for sharing.
The sbs has a counter. After I had a.new SBS put in, I saw on UA-cam that you can get a $29 plug in for the obdII port and rest the counter! But a year later, Mercedes warranties the SBS ( 25 year warranty which takes me to 2029) and they refunded me $1700 for the repair. Never seen a manufacturer do that on a 15 yr or car! So after 2029, I will just buy the reset counter. Over built braking system, but very advanced. In the rain, it holds the pads a little closer to save milliseconds on braking. Also different braking in corners to follow steering better etc. Quite amazing when you research the SBS system.
In the tune, I got it from.Kleeman after the headers were put in. It makes sure the O2 sensors read properly and get the CEL off. Passed smog afterwards.😀 Headers $650, tune $150 by sending in your ecu (not hard to do)
My pulley is 77mm. I didn't want to go more than 600hp because it opens the rabbit hole to more upgrades, cooling system etc... i just want to have the power when needed, beat anything that challenges, and this pretty much does it. E55 engine was build to handle 800 torque and a ton of HP, but cooling becomes the issue. Good for now... but ... maybe...??? Also have a 996TT that I will post a video soon, that is tuned, 200 cell exhaust, tastefully lowered etc...the other sports car that is easily tuned, before purchase built then to no longer be tinkered with.
No no heat soaking problems ? i have a 04 e55 and i am looking to get smaller pully like yours and i realized you didnt mention anything about heat soaking which happens even in fully stock motors.
I am original owner, always garaged. The clear coat from Mercedes in 2004 was 3x stronger than normal clear and was put on certain models E55 included.
Lol... true, but you don't have to go to dealer... they wanted 4k for a new Catalytic converter at my dealership... so instead, I put Kleeman headers for $650 and chipped for $150... with labor came out to just over 1k so.... 3k cheaper than dealer and now it sounds like a beast (the way it should) and clowns on C63s. Also gives about a 80hp gain. Puts you at 550... Then dealer wanted 5k for my supercharger when pulley went out... so instead I put a 77mm pulley replacement for $550 from performance builder in TX, and gained 70hp... Now sitting just over 600hp Ultimately a 03-05 AMG suercharged engine is one of the best, and easily tuned...
Nice man, I have a 2006 E55 with 63k on it. Planning on doing the 76-77mm pulley, short tube headers and tune. Will probably go with Victory Road Performance, what do you think?
Thats exactly my set up. VRP pulley and belt, and Kleeman Short Headers and Tune. 550 and 650 respectively and 150 for the tune by Kleeman when buying their headers.
Congrats on owning your E55 for all of these years. That body style is timeless because it still looks modern. That car is probably the best bang for the buck as far as power and luxury.
Still have it! Its a keeper. At current market prices, I wouldnt sell, besides, where else will I get 600HP and sounding like this beast! Sure, a Tesla will beat me 0-60 barely, but I will be providing all the sound in the race, otherwise it would just be a boring- Whish, Whissshhh....
Bullet proof engine that only a 3 dollar oring on the pick up tube that will harden and cause loss of oil pressure. Oil pressure gauge mod would be the first thing I do lol
Yes, I am willing to bet the rumble is either going straight pipe or removing the resonator. I left my resonator on. I have heard it without the resonator, and it it too loud and loses that refined sound. But some like it like that.
@@danielfaatz5168 do your research on the long headers. I kept my resonator too. Talk to Brandon at Kleeman. He will explain why with the supercharger, the short header is the way to go. All about the firing order and the supercharger ramming air down fast. Long head is in vain, short maximizes with this engine setup.
Cruising The Land good, I want to keep the cats also, since Oregon has strict emission standards...I might modify it a bit, give it a better intercooler and a nice euro charged tune
Those are Kleeman Short headers. Based on research and supercharger, shorties are the way to go.. the sound is totally intoxicating. Best V8 purr and Growl at full throttle out there!! I did add a C36 amg mufflers...
Picked up an 05 E55 recently. I think I got the best deal of all time. He listed it for $8K I only had $6K. All I said to him was “will you take 6 for it?” He said yes. I’m 2nd owner, pristine interior/exterior, 89,000 miles, clean title. Broken air suspension, I put BC Racing coil overs on it. So for six grand I picked up a 500 HP supercharged, hand built German V8 Mercedes-Benz AMG with quad pipes, racing suspension, heated cooled massaging front seats panoramic sunroof, Harmon Kardon surround sound stereo, power controls on everything, and rear wheel drive German muscle car monster. It’s black & chrome. (stock)
@@CruisingTheLand I’m only 21 so all of my friends haven’t had much opportunity to experience fast cars as there young like me. We’re from small town in Michigan. Had to drive to Chicago to pick it up. Every one of my friends love the Benz, want to drive it, and love the torque. I love it more tho. I drive more aggressively alone than with friends
@@CruisingTheLand good to know. Usually go in sport mode which is first gear by default. Why would 2nd be better? Because it’s a long continuous gear & you’ll be doing 60+MPH by the time you hit the redline?
Cruising The Land it has renntech short tube headers, magnaflow exhaust with stock quad tips, upgraded crank pullly kit, euro tech break calipers . Not sure the measurement for the new pully
@@brianhanguyen 469, and that's at the crank, not the wheels. He MIGHT be making 600 at the crank. But that means nothing in actual performance until you count in drive train losses which is what you actually feel
@@tqjunky5576 as someone who has meticulously worked on several C55s including my own, I can assure the only way to properly make 600hp is with forced induction.
I just purchased a 05 , perfect car with all cooling mods no cats and that growl is just the perfect car song , looking for another , as I believe they are a Bargain @ 23 k ish for an immaculate car , they can only go up in value in the days to come .600 ponies + .
no way you get 60 horse power just from headers and tune. correct me if im wrong but tune really only clears check engine light from coming on since you delete cats
60hp at the crank, so not real world power. But yea look at the stock exhaust manifold VS long tubes. It's ridiculous. The exhaust of these older amg is very restrictive. That, AND it's the same motor and setup as the other 55k's which made 493 hp (crank) stock. So a tune can easily get you that 20hp, and likely more. Also breathing WAY easier, yea 60 crank horsepower is very achievable
You should talk to Kleeman in Colorado. Their tech can give you the run down of their header a.d why to avoid the long header. He is very detailed about how the supercharger works in conjunction with headers and maximum flow. You also have a Porsche? I have a tuned 996TT cab pushing about 550hp.
The major thing I have had were: Gas tank leak 2017, Mercedes warrantied (bc happened on alot of them under the rear seat where it feeds out.) ABS suicide counter. Had work done, then Mercedes added a 25yr warranty in the SBC ABS system and they reimbursed me. ALL MODELS covered by that warranty. I had to change both front air suspension struts. Pain bc once they go, you can't turn car. Company in San Diego refurbished them and gives lifetime warranty. $450 each and not too difficult to install yourself. Then supercharger pulley and magnet replaced. The stealership charges big bucks for repairs. For instance my supercharger, they wanted $5k! I uograded pulley as mentioned in video $550. Plus magnet $220. Or 1 air strut in front is about 2-2.5k, I did for $450. Other than that the simple stuff..
Cruising The Land that is actually nice to hear because I was worried that it would break often, and , turns out, it doesn’t bereaved that often, I might do a hydraulic suspension system delete, and just get coil overs which would add to the reliability of the beautiful e55
@@danielfaatz5168 well, the air suspension is plush and a nice ride... why replace it when the front strut is only $450 and labor $0 as a DIY. Then you have life time warranty? Mine went out at about 75k. The system sits just right, car looks like its lowered on my 19s or 20s... But rear is dipping when car sits 7 days+. Airs back up when cranked over.
For the record, the engine makes the same HP stock (493) across the product line. It was a marketing gimmick b/c they didn't want the SL to have the same HP as an E class.
Not marketing, E55 was indeed detuned. Smaller air intake, smaller throttle body as well as another poster said. Having said that, these are easy to overcome.
How is the car holding up now with the mods? And what about the cooling kit and heat exchanger, was you able to keep power going long with out over hearing engine?
Great video and beautiful car!! you're correct about this AMG model, it will in time when they become a little more hard to find, will appreciate in value. Not only because they're reliable also because they're easy to work on once you get passed the point of being scared of the north star badge on the grill, even with basic mechanical tools and knowledge. I bought mine a year ago with 65Kmi on it from the original owner haven't yet gotten to work on the performance upgrades but looking forward to those tasteful like OEM mods you did, the car sounds amazing and 600HP its more than any good driver could ever need. As is stock this beast pulls you back on the sit when you hit the gas......
likely about 3.6 But for me, its more about the symphonic sound that exits this monster engine. I rarely crank my tunes, I prefer to crack the 2 rear windows and listen to the intoxicating sound... like no other!
Best 7 things you can do with this car are 1: fit a larger inter cooler for the supercharger, 2: Split the cooling system, 3: Upgrade the intercooler pump, 4: Fit a 77mm clutched pulley, 5: Fit 550cc injectors, 6: Get a tune (Eurocharged, VRP, German Muscle etc etc), 7: 1 step colder plugs. That will give you the best price to performance ratio - assuming you do the work yourself you'd be into it for about $2,000 to $2,500. I went a little further with short headers and a 92mm throttle body but really the cost of those and having them fitted was not worth the gain. Oh and get the supercharger serviced as well. Great fucking car.

They are Lorinser, knock off, but are great because they aren't 3 piece. I have a great set of Asanit 20" staggered deep dish, but they are always having problems with the 3 piece.
Cruising The Land they look like slr wheels lol
I would start with supporting mods mainly cooling mods so the car doesn’t over heat. These mods are great for power but set up like this 2-3 pulls in and your supercharger will disengage due to a safety feature and the car will be heat soaked and slow
Heat exchange mod and the car will never over heat or get too hot, it's a great mod, u could be racing all day and it will still perform at 100%
The heat exchange is a major mod to do! 👍👍
This guys definitely not making 600hp neither with just a tune headers and pulley. 469 crank hp. Car prolly makes 510-530 wheel hp. Factory blower won’t get you to 600hp nor will the injectors
I feel so lucky to finally purchase a 2004 after researching for over 8 years. I can't wait to look into the smaller pulley. Everything else, was done that you mentioned for mine when I purchased last June.
You got a keeper. I almost made my friend in his Model Y performance deaf. He was beside me when we did a 1-2-3! Rolling at 40mph, his window down and he got FULL exhaust note. It surprised him, he thought for sure he'd beat me, instead he lost his confidence and hearing in his left ear.
Been looking for one these for the longest. Now I own a 2005 at 17 years old it’s running around 600hp on stage 3 kleeman tune, long tube headers, vrp heat exchanger and pump, performance cam and some other mods. In love with it.
What headers are you using please
Awesome car man I love the W211 model in general and of course the E55 is the best. Also the build quality is amazing these cars age very well. Fun fact, this is also the same engine in the SLR McLaren supercar which produces well over 600hp stock.
No way!
one of the best cars in the world, congratulations , the king E55 AMG
Nice I have a 05 with lower 180 pulley mid length headers eurocaharge split cooling upgraded pump 550 injectors loop fuel rail 3in exhaust with the ram air ducks i love my car super fast and magnaflow mufflers... not to many cars can out run it... best bang for the buck bought mine in 2011 for 20000 white with blue interior 💙
the m113k v8 is literally almost too good to be true. crazy longevity, power and sound
Im going to hang onto my e63 6.2L for decades too, so when most cars on road are electric / hybrid it will be a rare sound
Absolutely! No sound like it!
Smart just watch out not to put to many miles
I'm doing the 7 step program as stated by another viewer. Then will put electric cutouts before my stock back boxes so I can keep the sound stock unless I don't.
You said C36 mufflers, did you mean C63 mufflers?
This car makes only sense on German Autobahn 🤪👍
So you can ride down 750 km with up to 200 mph.
When this tune-up is solid...
In U.S. you got speed limits, not so funny.
you should talk to LegitStreetCars (he on yt)he has two hes modified
I’ve met him in person, he’s a great guy
Zupa auto
I only own my E55 after finding Alex’s channel late one night when I was looking for a unique daily driver. After seeing his cars and mods he did, I was hooked and found one a week later very close to him in Chicago. He gets blamed when I spend money for mods on my car A LOT! "But honey, Alex made me do it!"
Just bought me an E55 too =) Love the car!
?Also is there a list of the mods you did? I plan on doing it lol myself when I get this beauty.
Clean car. I'm up in NorCal and have the 04 SL55, same upgrades with some added cooling, but not the headers. I can't fit long tube headers in the SL and mid-length don't seem to be worth the money for the added power. Deleted the resonators out of the back so it opens up the sound to just the right roar, without being obnoxious.
I've got the dark blue over light gray, same LM6 wheels that I had powder coated just a single shade darker. They were a bit too bright with the blue paint (back opal).
Love that Black Opal color!
i just picked up a 04 e55 amg and I LOVE IT.........
Nice! Color? Any mods? What did you get it for?
@@CruisingTheLand I got A 2004 E55 AMG (Brilliant Silver Metallic) with 89,000 mile. No mods yet.....lol. It is currently in mint condition. It was maintained at MB dealer only. I paid $11,200 for it.
@@MrMedia500 how did you get such a good price
@@ethanbrown9985 i got the car from north carolina at blue book value. Its just finding the right seller ,who will sell the car at KBB VALUE. Alot of people are over pricing the cars.
You can find really great w211 E55 AMG in great condition for under $11k-14k
Those Lorinser wheels are just *chef's kiss*
Beautiful E55! I got a great deal on a nearly identical 2005 (stock wheels) with just at 100k miles and I did the i/c pump, split cooler and secondary inter cooler upgrade and a 76mm clutched pulley and purchased the tune and colder plugs from VRP and it really woke it up and I have not noticed any difference in drivability or mileage. I don’t care for the engagement jerk at low speeds so when I do the headers and Killer Chiller I’m going to a fixed pulley (al la the E55 Alex of LegitStreetCars built) and I’m doing a trans fluid flush and conductor plate this month and that will take care of the last of the maintenance items list. I’m looking for headers and I think I am going with the Top Speed Pro 1 catted (smog state) and do Black Series mounts and flex discs ‘while I’m in there’. I went a little crazy on FCP Euro and bought every single suspension part they sell just sitting on a shelf waiting for a nice day. I have replaced a few little clips and switches but these cars are rock-simple mechanically and if you get a few special tools and a scanner (icarsoft makes several affordable models) there is very little you can’t do yourself on these cars. If you just want a V8, you can get an E500 this era super cheap that can be made to sound great and can even be found in 4Matic all wheel drive. These are great cars and as long as you do your due diligence on finding a well cared for example you will never be sorry you own one! I would get in mine and drive it just about anywhere without hesitation. They are very reliable and fit and materials all hold up very well, even in high mileage examples and it is not unheard of for owners to get 400k to 500k miles just doing regular maintenance before anything major (outside of some oil leaks that arise) has to be rebuilt or replaced in these cars. I’m actually looking for an E350 4Matic W211 for my teenage son since we know how to work on them now and have some spare parts accumulating in the garage, lol. Enjoy your AMG, it looks and sounds great!
Awesome! Thanks for the details on your build. You have a beast, and you are unleashing its roar!
Couple hundred bucks? They charge me 2 k to put my headers on 😢
The ECU flash is $400 how's this possible?
Date of video it was 600 for headers from Colorado Kleeman distributor. Where did you get yours?
80k back then is like 130k now though. inflation
Those goddamn rims always look good on w211s
Definitely not getting 600hp from just a pully and headers and tune. The engine makes 469hp at the crank. Not the rear tire. Headers, tune, catless exhaust pulley will only make 500-520wheel hp. If you want over 550 the stock blower must go.
who said at the wheel?
It takes the 469hp stock to right about 600hp.. at the crank.
People understand that better than this Title: E55 is now 469 at the wheels and not at the crank
@@CruisingTheLand i specifically stated (at crank) just to see if you would try to reply to that statement. Your video says how to upgrade your car to 600hp. In reality it should be (how to make 500hp in your e55. Just click bait, and unicorn dreams.
@@justinwaters-w8e Sure.. Pulley, headers give 31hp!! LMAO. Bro you are on the wrong video, I think you are looking for Honda SI tunes.
I should post a video of my E55 smoking my friends dual motor performace model Y (both rolling start of course at 20mpg)
Wish I could get 2000 horse powered for 2000 ,ya knob head mate lol ,he just kept going too
I do 1 takes, no editting, so if I slipped and said 2000 for 2000, but later said 600hp, I am glad your 1hp brain figured it out.
Did you do anything else to the exhaust other than headers? Which headers did you go with? Any install issues?
Kleeman short headers.
Smaller 76mm Pulley and C63 rear mufflers
I’m looking to buying one soon but the seller who has the one I want wants $16,000 with 146k miles, is that a good price or should I talk him down to $12,000 at least ? Let me know please… I don’t know much about these so I don’t wanna over pay
Always talk a price doen to your best value. A higher price is worth it if they have done extensive maintenance.. Motor mounts, SBC brake warranty, air suspension, etc... means less repairs for you.
@@CruisingTheLand thank you bro💯
Love those wheels.
I have a mint 2003 Desert Silver E55. 80K miles.
Recently took it in for a slight rear main oil leak. New motor mounts also.
With tranny and exhaust out for the rear main repair, one of my exhaust manifolds was rusted and the flange portion completely snapped off!
I figured might as well put long tube headers on given the cost of new manifolds. Shop said they wouldn’t charge for labor since everything was already out for the rear main repair.
Also did a Kleeman lower crank pulley. They had a NOS in the shop. Kleeman apparently doesn’t make this pulley anymore. Kleeman ECU flash.
Went with the lower pulley because the upper pulleys tend to come apart and break. And the fixed one piece upper pulleys may cause some cooling issues since blower always spinning.
Car is fast AF
sweet... must be insane!! And that sound it unbeatable.
@@CruisingTheLand you know, honestly, the car really doesn’t sound all that different with the headers surprisingly.
I have a 70K mile triple black 2001 Camaro SS vert 6 speed. One of the cats went bad so I replaced everything with Texas Speed long tubes. Stock muffler and stock dual dual tips.
Now THAT car sounds insane with just the addition of the headers. Sounds like a NASCAR stocker.
Only other mod is 4.11 rear. Much better drivability. The 6 speed was worthless for in town driving with the stock 2.73.
My other AMG is a stock 03 SL55. Also have a 1990 ZR1 Vette. Also another sort of Benz. 2005 Crossfire Vert.
Hey buddy the stock pulley is a 91mm not an 83mm.
You should dyno the car so you have a better idea of what your making. You could be surprised how much you could be losing from the IATs.
Well, after the mods, the butt dyno says this thing rips...
Remember, stock.HP.is not WHP either. Besides, the power is great, but the sound is intoxicating.
493 minus the possible 30 percent lose through drive train is roughly 375 left making it to the wheels with all these mods I'd say your jow at a comfortable 500 wheel horses which is nothinv to sneeze at in today's day and age in a mercendes benz thats 15 plus years old
E55 - Never gets old. Because of Alex @ legitstreetcar, we picked one up about 2 years ago with 140l miles.
• Did you install a larger heat exchanger and updated pump?
• Which tune are you running?
I've been on the mbworld forum reading as much as possible. Got a STAR laptop from Shardul. It's been very helpful in troubleshooting. Saved a bunch of money so far.
Now waiting for SBC counter to kick in and leave me stranded. Just thinking about taking it to Stealership 😱😱😱.
So far, it's got an pulley scatteshield, 83.7 UDP pulley (gonna have to look into getting a smaller one), PLM (XL) heat exchanger, stage 2 tune from Tony @ raceiq. Now its got pretty bad exhaust leak. Been reading LTH are the way to go but will look into mid-length.
Thanks for sharing.
The sbs has a counter. After I had a.new SBS put in, I saw on UA-cam that you can get a $29 plug in for the obdII port and rest the counter! But a year later, Mercedes warranties the SBS ( 25 year warranty which takes me to 2029) and they refunded me $1700 for the repair. Never seen a manufacturer do that on a 15 yr or car! So after 2029, I will just buy the reset counter. Over built braking system, but very advanced. In the rain, it holds the pads a little closer to save milliseconds on braking. Also different braking in corners to follow steering better etc. Quite amazing when you research the SBS system.
In the tune, I got it from.Kleeman after the headers were put in. It makes sure the O2 sensors read properly and get the CEL off. Passed smog afterwards.😀
Headers $650, tune $150 by sending in your ecu (not hard to do)
My pulley is 77mm. I didn't want to go more than 600hp because it opens the rabbit hole to more upgrades, cooling system etc... i just want to have the power when needed, beat anything that challenges, and this pretty much does it.
E55 engine was build to handle 800 torque and a ton of HP, but cooling becomes the issue. Good for now... but ... maybe...???
Also have a 996TT that I will post a video soon, that is tuned, 200 cell exhaust, tastefully lowered etc...the other sports car that is easily tuned, before purchase built then to no longer be tinkered with.
03 is the worst e55 to get and I do not recommend getting it 05 is the best
04 and 05. Yes the 03 had issues.
But am i the only one that saw the lamborghini?! 9:55
No no heat soaking problems ? i have a 04 e55 and i am looking to get smaller pully like yours and i realized you didnt mention anything about heat soaking which happens even in fully stock motors.
Exactly what I'm doing for mine, except I'll do e85 💦
E85 tune 🤨😳😳
That’s a clean E55 man.
I am original owner, always garaged. The clear coat from Mercedes in 2004 was 3x stronger than normal clear and was put on certain models E55 included.
Great video . Amazing you had the car since 2004 👍
It was not a bargain, $80k in 2004 is the equivalent of $127k today. Please remember that we have insane inflation.
BEEN HAVING M AND AMG FOR A WHILE AND IM ONLY 20 BUT IF YOU GUYS DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO MAINTAIN IT YOUR FUCKED
Lol... true, but you don't have to go to dealer... they wanted 4k for a new Catalytic converter at my dealership... so instead, I put Kleeman headers for $650 and chipped for $150... with labor came out to just over 1k so.... 3k cheaper than dealer and now it sounds like a beast (the way it should) and clowns on C63s. Also gives about a 80hp gain. Puts you at 550...
Then dealer wanted 5k for my supercharger when pulley went out... so instead I put a 77mm pulley replacement for $550 from performance builder in TX, and gained 70hp...
Now sitting just over 600hp
Ultimately a 03-05 AMG suercharged engine is one of the best, and easily tuned...
Kleeman headers are like $1, 500😂 and that's the shorty I took the kleeman back for long tube MBH even more
Nice man, I have a 2006 E55 with 63k on it. Planning on doing the 76-77mm pulley, short tube headers and tune. Will probably go with Victory Road Performance, what do you think?
Thats exactly my set up. VRP pulley and belt, and Kleeman Short Headers and Tune. 550 and 650 respectively and 150 for the tune by Kleeman when buying their headers.
Go with DTK. Buy his 600 or 650 HP kit and you have proven power.
@@CruisingTheLand do you have straight pipe oda x pipe inside oda is that series?
Congrats on owning your E55 for all of these years. That body style is timeless because it still looks modern. That car is probably the best bang for the buck as far as power and luxury.
I'm an original! Still love it.
thats why i bought one two weeks ago :D
@@CruisingTheLand how’s the e55 coming along?? Do you still have it? Man that’s my dream car right there!
Still have it! Its a keeper. At current market prices, I wouldnt sell, besides, where else will I get 600HP and sounding like this beast!
Sure, a Tesla will beat me 0-60 barely, but I will be providing all the sound in the race, otherwise it would just be a boring- Whish, Whissshhh....
i love this car but definitely does not look modern lol
Bullet proof engine that only a 3 dollar oring on the pick up tube that will harden and cause loss of oil pressure. Oil pressure gauge mod would be the first thing I do lol
Cls55 is better
Said no one...
I know two people that have them.
One leaves it stock. And the other had modified it. Claims 750ish..sounds rumbly.
Nice car. Very tempting.
Yes, I am willing to bet the rumble is either going straight pipe or removing the resonator. I left my resonator on. I have heard it without the resonator, and it it too loud and loses that refined sound. But some like it like that.
He added an aftermarket exhaust. Some German unit. Headers also. But I don't recall the brand.
Cruising The Land I would to long tube headers and keep the resonator
@@danielfaatz5168 do your research on the long headers. I kept my resonator too. Talk to Brandon at Kleeman. He will explain why with the supercharger, the short header is the way to go. All about the firing order and the supercharger ramming air down fast. Long head is in vain, short maximizes with this engine setup.
Cruising The Land good, I want to keep the cats also, since Oregon has strict emission standards...I might modify it a bit, give it a better intercooler and a nice euro charged tune
did you just put in long tube headers ? or did you do any other muffler modifications ? regards from germany ( the TÜV and STVO is shit here xD )
Those are Kleeman Short headers. Based on research and supercharger, shorties are the way to go.. the sound is totally intoxicating. Best V8 purr and Growl at full throttle out there!!
I did add a C36 amg mufflers...
Picked up an 05 E55 recently. I think I got the best deal of all time. He listed it for $8K I only had $6K. All I said to him was “will you take 6 for it?” He said yes. I’m 2nd owner, pristine interior/exterior, 89,000 miles, clean title. Broken air suspension, I put BC Racing coil overs on it. So for six grand I picked up a 500 HP supercharged, hand built German V8 Mercedes-Benz AMG with quad pipes, racing suspension, heated cooled massaging front seats panoramic sunroof, Harmon Kardon surround sound stereo, power controls on everything, and rear wheel drive German muscle car monster. It’s black & chrome. (stock)
That is best deal possible!

@@CruisingTheLand I’m only 21 so all of my friends haven’t had much opportunity to experience fast cars as there young like me. We’re from small town in Michigan. Had to drive to Chicago to pick it up. Every one of my friends love the Benz, want to drive it, and love the torque. I love it more tho. I drive more aggressively alone than with friends
The best.
Take off from the line in 2nd gear. Smooth effortless launch leaving everyone a distant thought in your review mirror.
@@CruisingTheLand good to know. Usually go in sport mode which is first gear by default. Why would 2nd be better? Because it’s a long continuous gear & you’ll be doing 60+MPH by the time you hit the redline?
I bought a 2004 E55 AMG 139k molds for $8k !
Wow! Congrats! Molds = mods?
Cruising The Land it has renntech short tube headers, magnaflow exhaust with stock quad tips, upgraded crank pullly kit, euro tech break calipers . Not sure the measurement for the new pully
You must be talking about 600 hp at the crank because there's literally no way that car makes 600hp to the wheels with that setup
This exactly!!
Actually it's prob close. The car has 480hp stock so upgraded pulley and headers could get him there
@@brianhanguyen 469, and that's at the crank, not the wheels. He MIGHT be making 600 at the crank. But that means nothing in actual performance until you count in drive train losses which is what you actually feel
He’s not making 600 at the crank either. Y’all need to read on these cars. So much misinformation on YT man.
@@tqjunky5576 as someone who has meticulously worked on several C55s including my own, I can assure the only way to properly make 600hp is with forced induction.

great video - well filmed and presented. thank you!
Sound amazing AND look perfect 🔥
I like ur car i got one i wud love to know wat did to get that power pls mine is still stock
Sticker in 2003 was $84,995....adjusted for inflation we get $128K in 2021 /$134k in 2022. so it just about the same. Great Video by the way. :)
Crazy... and that motor is one of the best
Do you have cats un the exahust?
2 get removed for the headers
This video made my day, such a great presentation brother
when u were at the stop light a lambo was turning lol i thought u would of seen it
What about cl55 engine
yea, and CLS55. My friend did same upgrades. The engine in the E55 is same as CL55, only downturns to 469hp vs 493
no way you get 60 horse power just from headers and tune. correct me if im wrong but tune really only clears check engine light from coming on since you delete cats
No, the tune changes the mapping as well. So tune adds HP.
@@CruisingTheLand got it thank you
Not whp
60hp at the crank, so not real world power. But yea look at the stock exhaust manifold VS long tubes. It's ridiculous. The exhaust of these older amg is very restrictive. That, AND it's the same motor and setup as the other 55k's which made 493 hp (crank) stock. So a tune can easily get you that 20hp, and likely more. Also breathing WAY easier, yea 60 crank horsepower is very achievable
do all the e55 w211s have sbc and airmatic?
Congrats on owning your E55 beautiful cars, do you run the stock injectors or did you upgrade for bigger injectors size.
stock
back box lol
Buddy lost it with that one 😂
I agree that the E55 was missing the sound. I also got the c63 mufflers for mine and going to get long tube headers so I can hear that V8.
You should talk to Kleeman in Colorado. Their tech can give you the run down of their header a.d why to avoid the long header. He is very detailed about how the supercharger works in conjunction with headers and maximum flow.
You also have a Porsche?
I have a tuned 996TT cab pushing about 550hp.
Cruising The Land how has the maintenance been? (I’m wanting an amg that I can work on)
The major thing I have had were:
Gas tank leak 2017, Mercedes warrantied (bc happened on alot of them under the rear seat where it feeds out.)
ABS suicide counter. Had work done, then Mercedes added a 25yr warranty in the SBC ABS system and they reimbursed me. ALL MODELS covered by that warranty.
I had to change both front air suspension struts. Pain bc once they go, you can't turn car. Company in San Diego refurbished them and gives lifetime warranty. $450 each and not too difficult to install yourself.
Then supercharger pulley and magnet replaced.
The stealership charges big bucks for repairs. For instance my supercharger, they wanted $5k! I uograded pulley as mentioned in video $550. Plus magnet $220. Or 1 air strut in front is about 2-2.5k, I did for $450.
Other than that the simple stuff..
Cruising The Land that is actually nice to hear because I was worried that it would break often, and , turns out, it doesn’t bereaved that often, I might do a hydraulic suspension system delete, and just get coil overs which would add to the reliability of the beautiful e55
@@danielfaatz5168 well, the air suspension is plush and a nice ride... why replace it when the front strut is only $450 and labor $0 as a DIY. Then you have life time warranty? Mine went out at about 75k. The system sits just right, car looks like its lowered on my 19s or 20s...
But rear is dipping when car sits 7 days+. Airs back up when cranked over.
I want this car so so badddd, definitly gonna get it soon
I just bought a 2003 cl55 amg and it has a Renntech stage 2 package which was $12,900 on top of the MSRP. It's about 600 hp and 600 tq and I love it
For the record, the engine makes the same HP stock (493) across the product line. It was a marketing gimmick b/c they didn't want the SL to have the same HP as an E class.
Yes, but are you saying the engine puts out 493 on the E55, but they simply said it was 469?
Or did they down tune a 493 hp engine to 469?
@@CruisingTheLand they all have pretty much the same power stock
Tq is 516 same so made sense
SL/S55 had a radiator-sized heat exchanger (4x surface area of E/CLS) and a larger throttle body (80 v. 74mm) Do your research….not a marketing ploy
Not marketing, E55 was indeed detuned. Smaller air intake, smaller throttle body as well as another poster said. Having said that, these are easy to overcome.
Gonna sell my 08 Charger RT and blow my tax return and stimmy on one of these
Nice! That sounds like a plan!
How is the car holding up now with the mods? And what about the cooling kit and heat exchanger, was you able to keep power going long with out over hearing engine?
Thinking about getting the stage 2-3 power kit to my SL 55 2005
It has been garaged as I have 9 other vehicles to drive.
Going to bring it out this summer.
@@CruisingTheLand damn, did you upgrade the cooling kit or still using original part
Just picked up at 03 s55 with 123k miles and I can’t wait to upgrade and tune
Nice!
I’m wondering how no cars passed durning this video lol. (Beeeeeeeep beeeep)
Lol, true... We blocked the road on both ends during filming
Great video and beautiful car!!
you're correct about this AMG model, it will in time when they become a little more hard to find, will appreciate in value. Not only because they're reliable also because they're easy to work on once you get passed the point of being scared of the north star badge on the grill, even with basic mechanical tools and knowledge.
I bought mine a year ago with 65Kmi on it from the original owner haven't yet gotten to work on the performance upgrades but looking forward to those tasteful like OEM mods you did, the car sounds amazing and 600HP its more than any good driver could ever need. As is stock this beast pulls you back on the sit when you hit the gas......
Here in Portugal that costs 30000
So i have the cdi version the e220
In the Netherlands you can get them for 22k or 23k with under 65.000km
Man thanks for the video , very nice presentation. Good car e55
Which companies did you get the headers, tune, and pulley from?
Kleeman, and VRP in Texas
❤ Love my E55 AMG the M113K is the Best bloody Engine on the planet its my 3rd V8 the other 2 where SL55 AMG its a bug for life
beautiful work done. with all that hp, whats 0-100 now?
likely about 3.6
But for me, its more about the symphonic sound that exits this monster engine. I rarely crank my tunes, I prefer to crack the 2 rear windows and listen to the intoxicating sound... like no other!
Sounds great!!! I’m about to get back into a 211 55 myself and I’ll be doing these exact mods! What mufflers exactly are those?
off of a C32 I believe.
research, there are some forums that say whixh to go with..
Not sure if it makes a big difference.
@@CruisingTheLand awesome thanks, i saw one with the CLS63 mufflers as well
