whats a K&N muffler?

Drex has a KLEEMANN Muffler.

you can keep your AMG tips if you keep the muffler. just delete the resonator, and maybe the second cat.

It's either you keep the AMG style tips and muffler, or you swap it out for a Kleemann muffler, but you can't keep both. Drex and I ordered ours and were told they're no longer available though. And the classy, 4-door sleeper? Well that's the goal .

You're right. It was a dumb question, but not asking about the tips, just referrencing the fact that I'd ever put a K&N muffler on my car!

That being said, Alex, this is advice coming from someone that's had a lot of life experiences...Never, ever preface anything with "Dumb question...but I'm a kid." 1) Dumb question would be if you didn't ask and just assumed you knew 2) Being a kid is never a good excuse. You're here to learn, so a better "excuse" would be, "I'm not too knowledgable about these things." That way, your question cannot be considered "dumb" because people know you just haven't learned yet and they also don't pre-judge you for being a "kid"...LOL.

If you got a Kleemann muffler, I was told that you can still get the dual round tip muffler, but not 100% positive about that. You'd have to call Kleemann direct or a dealer in your area.

He's got a point - you may have just subjected yourself to others here as a dumb kid :\, but you're probably not.

Ugh, gotta do a custom lip soon.
dont blame it on the swaybars...

Haha - that's right! Jonji and I pre-plan these things and add-on carbon lips beforehand :p. But I actually clear many things even with the carbon lip and don't have any major "scrapes" on it too (told you being overly cautious with it was a good thing). Stamp down your driveway :p.

Drex, I saw how your old bumper looked (yea, SURE it was your dad!), so this comes as no surprise to me. Unfortunately, this is one problem you can't zip tie your way out of...but you could always zip tie a CF lip on!

I'm tellin' you for real though, based on how my driveway is angled (you've seen it in person, when I go "too slow" (i.e. crawling/braking), it doesn't give at all cuz of the Brabus sways, so at some part it feels like it's borderline 2 wheeling (i.e. right front on driveway, left rear on the street). And you know parking on the street is not an option for the entire night, cuz of what has happened to so many cars!

Either way, I'm gonna get it re-done after my Service B, since they've gotta fix the washer nozzle cover. Touch up paint will do for now.

The body kit is exclusive and the only one I know of in North America. That being said, I really shouldn't mention this so I can keep my "exclusivity", but the actual foglights are Hella Foglights. They are the 90mm setup that you can get from the Hella store online (I think it's outsourced through another website).

The difficult part is figuring out the mounting and what-not. My kit had a custom housing setup.

Not really toasted. I'm kinda exaggerating it a 'bit, but it's enough to notice for sure.

Really?...Well, I could take it to another degree, but I don't think you could handle turning to crispy pata!...btw, maybe you should do a photoshoot at Alcatraz?... Maybe the last time from the outside, bro.

Hey, B, at least nobody considers the zip ties as "replica" mounts. It must feel good to have some real wheels on your car, rather than cheaping out like my zip ties, huh?
