21-Year-Old AMG Gets A Stage 1 ECU Tune + Pop & Bangs From RaceIQ Performance Mercedes ML55!! 

I have an 2002 model...Deleted the rear cats, deleted the main center muffler and rear resonator. Replaced the rear resonator with one chamber flow master - 1 in 2 out split. Sounds lovely when jamming or idling - all ranges and drive styles sound very aggressive... The engine has absolutely no exhaust system resistance. I'm running 22 inch wheels 9.5 to rear 11.5 stagger but 285/35/22... This is .9 larger diameter than stock which provides each gear a little more top end leg. No other modifications, full OEM stock...no tuning whatsoever. I'm now around 162,000 miles on odo now. Since 145,000 miles I've driven this above 130 mph almost 2 dozen times, likely more, and frequently run over 120MPH. I currently live in a rural area, low traffic, with a long 14 mile stretch, of US highway nearby, on my main route to wherever. My top 3 speeds were 138,139, and 142 MPH. All top speeds were clocked with odo mileage above 150,000 due to relocating out of Houston Texas and into a rural region in recent years. She runs much better in low to moderate humidity within outdoor temp range of 50-70 fahrenheit.This engine maintains her pull up through the range. Rough riding, very rigid though. But I'm ready to sell her before she loses her steam. Time to move on. Have owned her since 2012. Good times!

Perfect!

I would love some details on the wheels and tires you have on your ML55, that stance is fantastic! Did you also lower it?

Bro I just picked up an clk500 and I'm going to follow your step by step process of mods. Hey wait because stock for me is kind of crazy too but the way your car is moving ohyeah

How much HP did he say it should give you over stock? I’ve heard around 20-25 crank HP? The pops n bangs is cool.

Do you have built ISOFIX for baby seat ?

so stage 1 gives you max 25 Horses? what about stage 2 or stage 3? is it even possible?

Hi there. I have 04 Ml350 What can i do to increase a bit the power?

I had ML w163 350 special edition and I know w163 inside out, don't sell your ml55 whatever it takes, its a very reliable bulletproof model !!! keep it forever.

I need to tune mine but im not sure if its me1 or 2

👏🏼👏🏼

Hey guys where is the ecu located in a 2000 ml55 amg ? , there is one in my local junk yard that I was trying to get the engine from but when I arrived to it the car was there for 3 weeks already before I noticed it on the website 😢. So yea engine was gone but the brake calipers were still there, so was the transmission & front / rear differential . My 2003 ml55 with 169k miles needs head gaskets so it’s either replace or rebuild the engine & it got me thinking it do a swap at the very least grab the cams & toss them in . But I did walk away with the AMG cluster 😎 & i swapped it into my ml500 already & I cracked up 😂 when the mileage was 202k cause now I gotta reprogram it eventually

How much is it that tune
