So I went through with the custom quad exhaust for my car; a 2007 CLK 350. I have the non-amg bumper. I got my bumper shaved by a local auto custom body shop. I then had an exhaust shop custom make my exhaust. I have two polished round, slant tips with a single-in-dual-out MagnaFlow muffler. I got it all done for about $330 without parts. I can say that it was a great investment. I got nothing but positive results. The new muffler shaved about 50lbs off my car, increased my HP, and added to the looks of my car. It also made my car smoother on and off the gas. I was afraid that my car would sound like a Honda ricer with this exhaust but it doesn't! It sounds like an AMG! I recommend it to anybody who is wondering or debating if they should go through with a quad exhaust; DO IT! You will love the results in the end!!
p.s. If you guys like I can also post a video on youtube of the new exhaust system.

Looks good! Would like to hear how it sounds. I don't think I have seen tips offset that way...... nice.

Nice work. It would be great if you can do so. Also some pics from the work on the exhaust piping. Thanks.

Lol sounds like a amg? Looks good but maybe a c36/c32..

I would like to do the same thing, but with two OEM non-AMG ovals. Can you please show us the undercarriage so that i can figure out how to pipe the exhaust to the right side? Would also like to see what was done to the bumper. Thanks so much.

Looking good! The bumper cut looks really nice! I'm waiting for the video and what the exhaust looks like too

Here are some pics I got of the set up. Video coming this weekend! The tip on the right side had to be modified b/c it was too big to fit in the small area. The spare tire box was limiting space. The guy who did my exhaust angled the tips fine by making a custom hole in the side of the tip and closing the pervious hole. It is still a clean set up.

He also installed brackets on both sides in order to secure the pipes in place.

Nice work, I was about to ask if that passenger side tip was closed or not in the back but it is. I've seen a few people do their exhaust like this, and it's a nice setup. Now we're all waiting on the sound!

andre, looks like the shop did a good job of putting things together for you. I really like the look of the tips and the bumper cutout.

Although I am not a fan of the exhaust setup itself (I did that once), the work is very good and the looks of the car is great.

how much did that custom exhaust setup run you for the clk350 in total?

and where are you located? if NY what shop did you go to?

andre.saxton

I'm located in San Diego so I can't help you there. I got a bit of a discount through my school. My auto teacher knew the shop owner so I paid $200 for two hrs labor and parts.

Can you please tell me which Magnaflow model that muffler is?

Thank you.

andre.saxton

It was the MagnaFlow 12138

Here is the link to the first video. Just a cold start and a couple revs. I can also do an in car sound. For some reason my iPhone didn't capture the sounds very good. Ill try to find a better way to get the sound.

Sounds pretty good! Now get some drive by's! Haha

Hanzi1

I did a similar set up on mine sounds almost the same. The muffler is a Magnaflow 12267.

clkcadet

^^ Looks great!

kb24forlife24

Any videos of the exhaust? Looks good!

great job mate! you might wanna consider a rear diffuser if it'll fit to make it look more aggressive!

Hanzi1

You got it! that's exactly whats needed, to compliment that look.

however, your quad tip setup seems to be a bit wider of further apart compared to the OP's set up. correct me if Im wrong its prolly just the angle but, I reckon yours will have no drama if you install the rear diffuser but it might be a different case for the OP. thats why I said if he can find s diffuser thatll fit, then he'll be golden.
