Thank you for the info. After 1 week driving, doing all kind of crazy stuffs and still haven't heard a single noise! I enjoy the car, enjoy the brake even more. No dirt found at the wheels after 1 week. My 07 E63 at 100k miles still have original rotors, on second set of pads and still have 50% left. it's not CCB. I am confident that CCB will last longer than that.

congrats on the new ride!!!
also, i lowered mine on H&R's, as well. for me, the drop is perfect (i also used spacers in the rear) so i saw no need for the extra expense of coilovers. and yeah...i'm pretty handy around a car but springs were a bit outside of my skill level. the links in the back (air suspension so there are no springs in the back, in case you werent familiar), however, i could have done.

Got a quote around $750, includes alignment, before tax.

i did the res delete on mine W218. just went with straight pipe as i read that, with turbos, there was no benefit of the x-pipe. also, i lowered mine on H&R's, as well. for me, the drop is perfect (i also used spacers in the rear) so i saw no need for the extra expense of coilovers. and yeah...i'm pretty handy around a car but springs were a bit outside of my skill level. the links in the back (air suspension so there are no springs in the back, in case you werent familiar), however, i could have done.
lastly, i added a rear diffuser but its just a CF version of the one that came with the car. the RT-style rear was a bit too boy-racer for me and obstructed the view of the exhaust tips when looking at the car from the side.
Here’s a pic of the drop on the H&R/links combo.

Here are mine:
Does this look normal? They said they already pushed in all the way, as far as the hanger allows. They showed me and I confirmed that. The 2 hanger bars are in straight position. But I just don't understand why the the mufflers tips stick out a bit more than normal.

I need a photo at that angle so I can show it to the shop. Photos I found on google were taken from far behind, hard to see. I can see that but the shop refuse to see that.

you may need to take it to a Mercedes shop. the tips are sold separately, which means that they should be able to be adjusted. would it help if i went to the garage and snapped a pic for you?

If you don't mine. It's a big help. Thank you so much. I'm bringing my car back to the muffler shop tomorow, they are the one who messed it up. I measured the resonator and the pipes they installed. The pipes are about 1/2'' longer than the resonator. I'm so pissed off.

it doesn’t really matter how long the resonator pipes are, as long as they didn’t move the rest of the exhaust. Again...it looks like the tips just need to be moved. But I will get some pics in a few

Thank you so much!!! I think they pushed back the rear portion of the exhaust because of the longer pipes. Before the job, mine looked just like yours. After the job done, I noticed that the tips look weird, stick out too much.
By the way, the sound is now awesome! I really like it.

CLS looks great in white The side markers are the same as the W221 Would look very good without the orange side markers. Exterior CF looks awesome on white too
IMO. Keep it clean!
