We love their stock performance, and love their potential even more.
This is why we have developed a long tube headers system for the 2004-2006 CLS 55 AMG Kompressor V8, the last MB AMG model to be equipped with the legendary M113 Supercharged 5.5l engine.
Although this engine it did not rev as high as the later generation M156 6.2l V8, it had way more torque in the low and mid rpm range.
Regardless, a lot of performance has been left on the table; we at Supersprint made the plan to set it free, simple as it was.
On the CLS 55 AMG, working on the cat-back exhaust section had no effect; it made not one extra hp over stock. We proved it over and over again on the dyno.
This engine needs more extensive work, in a different, specific area of the exhaust; that is where all of the extra Hp is hiding.
The blame is on the awfully small, tiny log manifolds, and on the heavily restrictive stock quad-catalytic.
Our long tube headers and the HJS Motorport, high volume metallic cats system does just that; it turns the performance around, ensuring a gain of + 40 / + 50 Nm throughout the powerband, and + 45 Hp at peak.
At the same time, it makes the sound roaring deep when lugging the engine in the mid rpm, and screaming wildly up on top.
With the Supersprint full exhaust in place, the CLS 55 AMG makes a perfect statement for "Big Bore", "Supercharged", "Spinning Tires".
As the CLS 55 AMG is quickly becoming a Contemporary Classic, re-gaining the value it deserves, the Supersprint Oversize diameter stainless exhaust is the perfect complement, still available in its original form.
As usual, it installs easily, without the engine being removed or even lifted, and it needs no modifications.
