I'm going with the Kleeman exhaust muffler, regardless of price (for just the look of the trapezoid tip). I'm pretty sure the price that Kleeman told me directly was in the $800+ range. Can't remember the exact figure, but it was around there.

I'm pretty sure Brabus does not offer a cat-back because from what I remember, they outsource the muffler from Remus and Remus did not offer a cat-back either.

Brabus and Remus actually make a resonator to fit with the muffler, to make everything bolt-on and become a cat-back system.
If you purchase the muffler alone, you have to cut your existing muffler off to weld the new one on.

Kleemann says you shouldn't mix and match with their products and I thought this was more of a marketing scheme but my mod guy told me this is true. So now, if we want to but the Kleemann exhaust, we're stuck with just a muffler? WTF? They should just go ahead and slap on another 3 or 4 hundred dollars, make it a cat-back and call it a day. I wouldn't mind paying for it. So if this doesn't work out with Kleemann, I might just go with Brabus. I'm very concerned about doing the performance mods first and then the looks but I'm trying man! I truly believe in performance but I don't want to throw money in the wind either.

Eisenmann is NOT direct bolt-on, you still have to cut your existing muffler, or custom your own sound pipe. Plus it probably need slight bumper modification...........been there done that.......

This sounds like a beast! I just listened to the clip for the first time today. The thing is dragonAMG has a Kleemanized C55. If the sport exhaust has a similar deep tone, then there's no question I'm getting the Kleeman muffler!
