Kleemann is cheaper, I know because I've got a special price.

Damn, how do you feel about that ?

One thing is for sure, it won't have the nasty 55K growl that suits the G55 so much.

Thanks guys.

I'll enquire again about Kleeman... Stuff didn't look too attractive i.e. hardly any performance data (was just told +xx hp etc).
I just need to get the stuff fitted where I reside (UK).

Read how stupid this is if I were to fit the Vath kit:
Send new car to UK to get registered (from Austria) then send car to Germany, then back to UK...
And screw the 2012 G anyway, just engine related stuff... Can exchange, much hasn't changed in 30+ years

We have a VATH tune on one of our C63's and its one of the best ones we've used, MKB is good too. We also have our own tune that was developed by Vath and MKB for us as well. For the G55 I would recommend our CEC Edition Tuning Package. PM me for more details.

Go for Kleemann, I know both the owner and the founder.

Should be able to help you in London.

I have modified all my AMG cars in the past: SL 60, S 73, SL 55 F1...

If you are SERIOUS, you can shoot me a PM.
