AMG BRED

finally got it put on.. some glitches but not too bad. it will be smoothed out later. The tips on the left side stick out more then the right side.




In this pic.. it's more apparent that the left side sticks out more then the right side, however it will be fixed when they remove the resonator.

looks sweet, man! how does it sound? and how much is it if you don't mind telling.

very nice amg bred, love that quad look..

AMG BRED

It sounds really good, which is why i was hesitant about removing the resonator without listening to the exhaust first. It definately has a deeper sound after 2nd gear.. and when you get on it from a roll start.. you can tell a difference.

Unfortunately as for pricing, you will have to talk to Harris directly.

AMG BRED

Thanks bro. I just received my set for the CLK as well.. it will be put on next week.. If i knew sooner it was going to come in today, i would have got 'em both done today on my day off from work. Oh well, got to wait one more week.

Harris

Glitches??? TJ, pls send me an e-mail and tell me about it......

The left tips need to be cut.

did u cut the rear bumper to fit the quad system? I mean how did the right hand "lot" of the quad fit into the bumper?

MadC32

I definitly need do the same.. good work man.. looks wicked!

AMG BRED

Harris, I meant glitches in the install not in the product, as in the Exhaust tip on the left side stick out too much and They didn't cut it as per instructions.. but they said they will take care of it when I decide to take of the resonator.

AMG BRED

Yeah, the Shop had to make an identitical cut out on the right side of the bumper same as the left side, same distance from the edge of the bumper.. they had to cut down the extension pipe in the center as per Harris's instructions.

Hey AMG Bred, looks good.

I also purchased the Carlsson quad exhaust from Harris but have not installed it yet (I plan on doing it myself).

Anyway, you said in one of your responses that the shop removed some material from the extension pipe. Are you talking about the piece that runs behind the bumper? If so, do you know how much they had to remove. Harris never told me about this requirement!!

Also, do you have any closeups of the right hand cutout? This is my main concern, I don't want to fu@k-up a perfectly good bumper.

Thanks!

AMG BRED

Harris did mention it to me that it is required to cut a section of the extension pipe in order for it to fit the AMG bumper.. as you notice if you look at the center of the extension pipe, you will see a weld.. that's where they cut it.

unfortunately i did not ask how much they cut off but as per Harris's instructions.. I believe it was a 1/4" section. I will get you close ups of the cut out soon.. the cut out isn't perfect yet on my car either.. it's sort of slopped on the left which is a glitch i need to fix out when my car goes in the body shop to get the C55 spoiler installed.

The quad looks awsome... i talked to that guy about getting something done for me, but he was just being a tool about it.. cant wait to hear the quad on the CLK..

Looks awesome!

Nick: please check on my e-mail to you on Apil 21, 2:53pm. The very first sentence I wrote "The modification needed are the right side cutouts as well as the shortening of the extension pipe. Other than that, it's a simple install....." I dont like to give my customers surprises.

misu55

I stand corrected, you did tell me. It didn't stick in my mind at the time I read it. How much needs to be cut?

Harris

No problem.

The problem is the exhaust is not meant to work with AMG bumper. If you dont cut it, the right side cutout will look closer to the corner of the bumper than the left side. In order to balance out the two cutouts, just cut the extension pipe about 1/4".

As for the right side cutout, you can never do it right the first time. Just make sure you have a cutout big enough for the tips to show (but dont overcut it), then use a dremel and trim the edges nicer. Or if you are still afraid to screw up, get the 55 bumper.

Btw, I thought you said you have built a custom quad exhaust??? How come you never have to do the right side cutout???

Looks good

Looks really good!!!!
I assume European Autowerks did the install - they must be the ultimate authority in installation of Carlsson quad exhausts by now!!!
Hope all goes smoothly with the CLK55.
Can't wait to see the pics!

AMG BRED

Yeah European Autowerks did the install.. however the guy who did the work wasn't so friendly.. he came off sort of stand off-ish.. i wouldn't go back to them if they weren't the only people in town who could install it.

Anywho, If you have time Tuesday, come stop by there and come check out the CLK, I am getting the quads installed then.
