The biggest problem with that kit to me is changing out the alternator & power steering pulleys, my past experiences with getting these pulleys off of older cars that I've worked on is they are a real pain in the butt. Another thing about changing all those pulleys is that if you had to take the car in for warranty work and wanted to put everything back to OEM it would be a lot easier if you had the Renntech kit. As far as going to a local tuner there aren't any around where I live that I could take my car to do any type of remapping the ECU. The person I've talked to at Renntech say's they tune the ECU to the customers wants, I'm sure with in certain limits. It's to bad there isn't a programmer on the market that you could plug in and make changes to your needs at the moment. Before I bought this SRT6 I was looking at a '03 SVT Cobra that had a lot of aftermarket performance parts on it and they were all done at a SVT Ford dealership and he had a programmer that was installed on the car that he could switch to three different programs. Still leaning toward Renntech.
To answer your first question yes the renntech pulley is with a harmonic balancer...Also the renntech pulley looks very similar to stock and lack of knowledge a typical chrysler dealer will most likely not recognize them.

Hmm... wonder what they meant by "tune the ECU to the customers wants"... probably just the fuel octane accessibility...

Also in the previous post y-pipe was mentioned maybe "SL55 intake splitter and hose" is what you are looking for...? Evosport sells them in a set called evolution 2 power package, but that set also comes with some products that are incompatible for our cars... I am sure that if you give them a call they will be able to sell you the sl55 intake splitter and hose by itself... another good place to find it is asking a local dealer or mercedes tuner... as this is not a custom made product, but a stock product on the sl55.
