[@larakay9465]

the only car guy that does not clickbait on youtube and posts legit content. respect.

[@DavidCastellani]

I am so insanely jealous that you have this car in particular due to how nice it is, and that you get to spend your time working on it. Thank you for the content. I am really looking forward to your next videos.

[@LegitStreetCars]

David Castellani Thanks David! Appreciate the kind words. Alex

[@EIGHTLUG]

Ahhhh.... Makes me want to buy an E55 just to tinker with. Nice work, Alex.

[@basiccarstuff8599]

I really love this build. So much i went out and bought me my own E55 AMG =)

[@racrx728]

Definitely awesome! Mines a CLS55 but same chassis and drive train. You videos are great quality and you do a good job explaining the details. Thanks again!

[@racrx728]

Thanks! Used your discount code and it worked on items that were already on sale. I pretty much got the stage 2 cooling kit for a little over $400 by ordering the parts on sale separately and using your discount code. Awesome deal!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Dude thats so awesome! So glad you saved some cash and good luck with your E55. Let me know if you have any questions. Alex

[@mattdogg02]

I am impressed at the level of detail and high quality work... great job, loving the vids

[@LegitStreetCars]

mattdogg02 Thanks Matt, means a lot. Alex

[@IronmanS4]

Great resource and thanks for all the tips ! Just picked up a low mileage un-molested 03 E55 that I'm going to try to keep stock but adding increased cooling was on my mind so glad I clicked on this.

[@douglassenriquez423]

@LegitStreetCars This has to be my favorite channel on KZbin… I have been infatooated with E55 for almost 5 years! you are doing an awesome job with your videos and I can't believe I just now realize that you are in right next door to me, in Virginia I was just work in Virginia for 6 months at Radford BAE.... I live in East Tennessee, The Tri-cities area. It's crazy that we are so close together and, I myself own a 2004 E55 AMG Mercedes just like yours love your channel keep it up.....

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks so much Douglass. I'm actually in Chicago buy the sponsor for the car Victory Road Performance is in Virginia. Any plans on your 04 E55? Alex

[@douglassenriquez423]

LegitStreetCars yeah actually I had a bunch of idea for the car b4 I lost my job :( but I'm sure I'll be right back to tuning it to the teeth once things pick back up. I'm a welder so jobs are kind of a come and go thing... just worked On maintenance stuff mostly so far Like new Arnott air struts and what not... but an old Acquaintance of mine had an S55 with 800 plus horsepower at the push of a button (all work done by APR)... That car made me buy mine, these cars are legendary as far as I'm concerned... you just can't get a better Combination of luxury and performance for this price As long as you know how to work on cars yourself.... good still the man in my book I have a ton of family in Oaklawn Illinois so maybe we'll meet one day. I'll keep you posted on my E55's progress.

[@douglassenriquez423]

LegitStreetCars deffinetly gonna have to check out Victory Road... thanx for all three info....

[@smacktalking]

This has gotta be my favourite car channel on youtube right now, awesome work alex!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks so much, glad you are enjoying the content. Alex

[@zamx96]

Watched many of your videos, subed just because of this series

[@luckyjuly67]

New to the channel. And I've been binge watching your videos. Great content. I was getting tired of the "car guys" that take their cars to shops to get built, don't show the process, and just mostly vlog 🙄 keep up the awesome work!!!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks Julio, appreciate that. Alex

[@buchohood]

THANKS ALEX!!! I HOPE YOUR READY VRP!

[@steveww07]

Nice work, bundle all the repairs/maintenance at once.

[@LegitStreetCars]

[@erandhasani9687]

[@LegitStreetCars]

Erand Hasani Thanks so much Erand. Alex

[@donsmith8126]

This build is gonna be lit

[@LegitStreetCars]

[@ne2i]

one of the best MB channels Good job!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks, appreciate that. Alex

[@christhiel9334]

It will be cool to see the secondary install for the h/e

[@tipsofme]

You're doing amazing work! If you don't already own your own shop, this would be a great time to start. I hope this channel keeps growing.

[@OmegaFlightmaster]

You seem like a genuinely nice guy! Keep up the good work.

[@victoryroadperformance3131]

Great work cleaning out all that Dirt and grime from your other coolers

[@Xxerickx123]

Victory Road Performance whats going on with the discount code? Been spending good money with no luck for the discount 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

[@shaikymandel7593]

I like the way you filmed working on your car, also bad ass car!

[@DeusVolo]

Your video quality is getting better.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Sanctus Vianney Thanks! This stuff is all pretty new to me. I've been researching camera lens, microphones, etc. It's been fun. Alex

[@ordi75]

Nice to see the car coming along!

[@ringading2917]

Great stuff Alex, loving your vids

[@DB01]

working on cars all night.. hmm. i smell chop shop.. Great vids man, keep up the great work :D

[@oscarstevelopez3506]

Keep it up man!! Love seeing this I will be following your mod list part for part on my e55 Keep them coming man!

[@mnuhs5]

Please make videos on installing things on the car, assemble and disassembly

[@carloselrey36]

You wouldn't be able to tell from your vids that you only have 29k subs, soon enough you're gonna blow up man. & I fuck with the music selection too

[@nicke2307]

The more I watch your vids the more I want get back into a MB lol. I want a 09 SL63amg. Beautiful cars

[@LegitStreetCars]

Oh man an 09 SL63 would be sick. Please buy one. Alex

[@nicke2307]

LegitStreetCars theres an interesting story behind why... i used to own 3 MB vehicles and a friend of mine was fixing an SL63 for someone. I had invested in autels maxisys and could do everything SDS could do and he needed to borrow it so he came over with the car.... the rest was history. Love that car

[@nicke2307]

We ended up doing the rodeo function to change the ABC fluid

[@LegitStreetCars]

The rodeo still puts a smile on my face every time. Im still scared to own an abc car. Even as a tech it can get expensive. Alex

[@newnametrading]

man this gets me so excited to start working on my clk55 amg

[@LegitStreetCars]

Love the CLK55, get to it! Alex

[@SebaC20XE]

love the vids ! great job man :) pls make e63 conversion video

[@sphericalsphere]

Great project, I love that you do it right!

[@FordyHunt]

Looking forward to the next vid

[@michaelcurren1821]

OCD like me! Good job cleaning that up while you were in there. "Unique music" bwahaha I see what you did there. :P

[@fritsthomassen3796]

[@LegitStreetCars]

Frits Thomassen Hmm...OK fine, lol. Alex

[@fataxe1]

So you are a fan of Jeff? His 911 build is awesome and his house build is just as cool.

[@LegitStreetCars]

I hate to say this but I don't know who that is. What's his channel name? I'd love to check it out. Alex

[@LegitStreetCars]

Ok never mind just found his channel and subscribed. That guy is legit! I mean he does it all. Can't wait to catch up on his builds Alex

[@fataxe1]

LegitStreetCars hell yeah he is! If you watch his video on his old cars you'll see how skilled he is. His history is also in the Australian show car scene. He's a very skilled man who deserves more views. You and him are actually the alerts I get excited for the most cuz your builds are so badass

[@LegitStreetCars]

I just watched a couple. Ya he is very skilled. I'd love to meet him one day. So glad you like the videos. Cant wait to make more. Alex

[@emmanuelleslie]

Thanks for the info. After following the link, I couldn't figure out which song it was as I was directed to the homepage.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Look up Jeff Kaale

[@gst69man]

subscribed. rare mercedes diy action.

[@joshuadonner5145]

Love the vids man. God that C43 is an odd ball

[@RamyFal]

do you belive that you got a fan From Algeria ? love ur videos Man nice Job

[@LegitStreetCars]

Ramy RDJ That's awesome! Thanks for tuning in. Alex

[@chrisdash83]

dude, he's got fans from all over the world now :) :) :)

[@RamyFal]

chrisdash83 I know :)

[@luckyluke1076]

Great video, bunch of super quality info. as always !! Where do you work? I would love to bring my car for some maintaince. By the way I'm close to Bensenville

[@LegitStreetCars]

Lucky Luke Hey Luke, honestly I don't have much time for side work these days. I work 2 jobs plus the videos. I'd be glad to help if you have any questions. Message me on instagram. Alex

[@dodi3bodi]

Nice slide show

[@myfeeling4you]

The screws you used to mount the heat exchanger work their way loose as they don't really tighten up, I say this from experience having used them to mount an intercooler which eventually came off due to vibration, you're better off using mushroom head bolts with locknuts. .I'm sure you don't want to re fit the cooler if the screws come undone.

[@nickmelka3280]

Always great videos! 🙏

[@JakeTheSnakeProductions]

The first place I heard the CRF music was on one of Street Speed 717's videos about a year ago... lol.

[@nickhanscome]

Love the content man, keep up the awesome work!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks a lot Nice. Alex

[@dylanx815]

Love your videos man! I'm from Rockford so we are not too far apart! Maybe I'll see you at the Byron dragway someday!

[@ModifyOrDie]

Man your videos are on point! I hope my future E55 vids are a nearly as good as yours!

[@lostinthesmoke_]

Bro I'm in VA Beach, I'm thinking of installing a a stage 3 or 4 power package for my SL 55 2005 , how did your car hold up with all those modifications?

[@truthseeker8483]

Nice work!

[@billyowusu48]

Do a facelift conversion to the e63.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Billy Owusu I'd love to. First I'm doing horsepower mods, then cosmetics. Thanks for watching. Alex

[@nicwright9889]

be sure to keep her cool, don't blow her up

[@mred9335]

Dont do it. it would give away its semi-sleeper look. imo.

[@ДавидНиссельштейн]

e63 front bumper looks like shit

[@TheDato69]

If you want to really have fun with these, especially in the 1/4 Mile, get a high stall torque converter, had one on my e55 and let me tell you it transformed the car

[@LegitStreetCars]

I've been thinking if the trans needs work I'd definitely do that. Where did you get your stall and about what was the stall speed? Oh and thanks for watching! Alex

[@TheDato69]

LegitStreetCars I got it from ultimatepd.com, they set the stall speed to what you want, mine was set at 3.5k

[@LegitStreetCars]

Wow that's higher than I thought. I had a 4000 in my Turbo Trans Am, then a 3600 and now a 3000. How is it around town just normal driving? My TA was very mushy feeling if that makes sense. But it does have kind of a big laggy turbo too. Alex

[@TheDato69]

LegitStreetCars as long as it was in sport mode it was fine to daily drive, in comfort it starts off in second gear so it felt as you said a little mushy but the drivability was barely affected, let me tell you from a standstill the car would just take off

[@LegitStreetCars]

Well you got me convinced. I'm going to finish this year off with all the mods I show in the mod videos I've done on the car. I actually have a trans guy that can rebuild the 722.6 so maybe next year Ill do the trans, converter and maybe just maybe a posi diff unit. Thanks for all the info. Alex

[@mistreku]

love this, will defo follow the build!

[@hullinger]

Well done Alex. The number of hours you spent on this video clearly show. I'm surprised though, no skinned knuckles??? -Chris

[@LegitStreetCars]

East Coast Classics I'm very careful, haha. Thanks for watching. Alex

[@karpetcm]

Just purchased the secondary H/C from VRP. With the superflow pump I have now and with a 80mm pulley hoping it will be enough.

[@MrIronman616]

That beat was nice.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Haha its growing on me. Alex

[@UCZ15]

I love your videos and your E55. Keep it up. I subbed.

[@gsmecanica]

I take detours as well on small jobs every time ;)

[@JacobM5M3]

I need more videos.. come on man.. speed it up.. 👍👍👍👍 ....Perfect content.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks so much, appreciate that. Its coming!! Alex

[@andrewss190]

great vids Alex . was wondering what cam you had in the TA with the broken lifter ?

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks Andy. It was a custom cam spec'd by Martin Smallwood. I dont remember the specs but I believe I included them in the article I wrote which is linked in the description. If not Ill dig them up for you. Alex

[@OscarPerez-om6rb]

Love your videos! Make me want to buy vrp parts for my E55 amg!

[@LegitStreetCars]

Appreciate that Oscar. Ya man go for it. Phil the owner is a cool dude, give him a ring. Alex

[@julzhickman]

legend

[@kamg2794]

Does the super flow pump just replace the original stock pump?

[@derrickg5612]

What do you think of the mid 2000s E63s? Are they money pits even if you do the work yourself?

[@LegitStreetCars]

That 156 engine in the beginning had some issues. Id stay away unless you know a ton about that specific engine. Alex

[@rosewd2]

Here's and interesting question. The E55 is rear wheel drive, the E430 is Awd. Can the supercharger from a 2003 E55 fit on a 2002 E430? What other modes are needed in such a swap?

[@coles201]

Maybe you ought to change all the coolant, the old stuff might be worn out?

[@mr.benz_e55k]

When installing an enlarged cooler, what to do with the additional radiator at the bottom of the compressor cooler?

[@stevegivelas9769]

Thanks

[@DopeyFilms64]

so how would this work with the old transcooler that sits under the original heat exchanger

[@douglasrivera5293]

hey Alex, once you do the split cooling, do you have to bleed the engine cooling system? if yes, how?

[@mercedesaudiinfiniti]

Is there any video you cover the install of the Wideband shown on the 'table of performance'? I'm installing mine and can't seem to find anything.

[@stevegivelas9769]

Plz be thorough on the meth part I know the e55 use a spacer but in a c32amg no room for spacer. Just curious on where u are putting the second nozzle

[@LegitStreetCars]

Ok will do. Alex

[@xxroyalxtigerxx]

LegitStreetCars this is old but I like how you seem to read every comment

[@nathanschneider2256]

Would you guys go with VRP Speed or Fabtech for performance packages?

[@petercondes9087]

Should of did your headlight lense replacement while you had the bumper off

[@LegitStreetCars]

Im not done. Thanks for watching. Alex

[@petercondes9087]

LegitStreetCars 58.00 dollars on eBay by far the best mod ive done . had them on since March. Have you thought about the secondary heat exchanger in addition to these mods

[@LegitStreetCars]

Peter Condes oh wow that's cheap. Looking them up right now. I would like to run the 2nd heat exchanger but I don't think it will fit with the trans cooler. I'm going to be running water/meth injection so I think iats will be in line

[@LegitStreetCars]

Peter Condes Do you have a link? Can't find the ones for $58

[@americanoutdoorsman6348]

Another nice video

[@fusionflash88]

Great stuff Alex, just got my heat exchanger installed are you getting the common bottom bumper bulge?

[@jedjones6532]

Where’d you get your fittings for the hoses

[@fredgonsalves7407]

Can this upgrade be done just the same in the C 32amg? Would love to know.

[@KR8810]

+legitstreetcars awesome content brother ... 👌🏼

[@jonnyb2532]

Hey Alex . . . What is the VRP cooler for?

[@LegitStreetCars]

Its a heat exchanger that cools off the water/coolant that flows to the intercooler system. It will help lower intake air temperature therefore creating more power. Alex

[@stevegivelas9769]

Nice work very thorough

[@LGLIFT4GD]

(3 years into the future) but want to ask if the VRP heat exchanger will fit with the w211 e63 as well?

[@almanu04]

Hi! This channel is dope. Do you have any advice about how to make power on cla 45? I dont want to void the warranty

[@ezale08]

Cl55 for sale in the Chicago area for $5500

[@eldoradomanchuria]

How tall is your garage so that you can put a two-post in it?

[@LegitStreetCars]

Its 18 feet to the peak, 12 foot walls. Alex

[@shawnhalkowitz7340]

What’s your thoughts on a killer chiller using the AC to cool the I/C fluid. I believe dodge used something similar on there new Demon.

[@ant552]

Great video! I noticed you have a trans cooler for your '03. Is that an after market trans cooler? I know the earlier Valeo radiators had problems with trans and coolant mixing.

[@Valhalla996]

Now when you change the cooling pump please change the liquid ,!!

[@makaylamannett805]

love your videos was wondering if that code is still good? vrp is coming up with error code

[@jonverma4968]

I have a 02 C32 I have been topping off coolant for 2 weeks now but I see no visible leaks. Pressure tested also and it shows no leaks. I have Bosch IC pump with 3k on it Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@moesmpower5589]

Wy not put 2 small cooling fans on the heat exchanger

[@paulsherlock4348]

Hey quick question, I have a low mileage '99 C230K, and I was wondering if it's worth it to try to mod it or wait and try to get a C43 AMG. Is there a selection of mods at all for the W202 or is it a better choice to go for an E55?

[@LegitStreetCars]

Personally I would not bother with the C230K. A C43 is definitely a step in the right direction but a 211 E55 even stock would destroy either even modified. If you dont want a 211 just yet the 210 E55 is amazing and affordable. Alex

[@darylzero3139]

Another great video. Also, it's cool if you made the videos a little longer. 30 min is good. No need to fast forward through the installs. What kind of job do you have that you work at night on cars?

[@LegitStreetCars]

Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion. I try to keep them under 15 minutes but if need be Ill go over for build diy type videos. Alex

[@Jasshands1]

I want to buy a e55 now. How reliable are they? Awesome videos and awesome editing work

[@LegitStreetCars]

For an older European car that kicks this much ass they are not bad at all. Common areas of failure would be the air suspension (like any air suspension car), they had some early audio and electronic issues and it has an expensive electronic brake pump that can go bad. If you do your own work its not horrible at all. The engine, trans, rear end, all very strong. Alex

[@Jasshands1]

Hey thanks for getting back to me, the sbc seems like another failure point and that would likely require a trip to the shop while I could handle the other issues. Would you pay 16000usd for a car with 68000miles on it, 1 owner, maintained at dealer? or is that a bit high.

[@jeffsalsbury1450]

Great work Alex Watching your vids and have a small issue with a Vrp add on throttle upgrade . Installed a 92 mm and know I have a Throttle fault code . Any ideas to fix that issue? Also what’s the Vrp discount code ? Thx for any help Jeff

[@Antimatter.]

Great vid I wish you were doing a E63s! But this will be fun , Does your parts vendor have performance parts for 14 e63s ?

[@victoryroadperformance3131]

Antimatter we habe tunes and intake parts available for your e63! Shoot us an email. [e-mail]

[@Antimatter.]

Victory Road Performance Thanks but my car has the 5.5 biturbo m157 engine , didn't see anything on your site.

[@rlowe9729]

Hey Alex, is there any way that I can increase my performance on my 2008 W211 E350? The car has 83000 miles on it. I would like to get little more performance out of it without going crazy on it. Any suggestions?

[@LegitStreetCars]

Honestly there isn't much you can do with that car thats going to make a real difference. I know thats probably not what you want to hear but its the truth. Maybe pick up a cheap older AMG car to make fast and keep that as a really nice daily driver. Alex

[@rlowe9729]

Will do Thanks
