It makes no sense to me, if I was an exhaust shop and found out that no one in the local area had a mandrel bender then I would make it a PRIORITY to get one to draw more business, maybe I am crazy...
Assuming he doesn't have it in stock, why not just have the welder order mandrel bent tubing? Then he can cut and weld it in place as needed. 3" J-tubes are about $25.

thanks for answers. when i choose to go eisenmann i will go with the eisenmann muffler for the clk430 because its cheaper and it should fit since it has same pipe diameter and fitting spaces.The only problem i have with the supersprint is that i have to cut my bumper.

DEFINITELY a head turner but if you are looking for a "muscle" like tone then the supersprint muffler is probably the better route for you
Yes, thats what I meant to say
I wish someone can source titanium exhaust...

The eisenmann is too loud and expensive in my opinion. Makes your v8 mb sound like a mustang and there is no real benefit in just changing the muffler. Go with supersprint if you still wanna spend $. Custom will be cheaper and the best way to go if you can get the manrel bends done. If so I say go with a vibrant muffler and cat.

It's funny, I said the same thing when I first heard ivan's eisenmann muffler but when it gets into the higher RPM range it sounds like a lambo more than a mustang (mustangs WISHED they sounded like that )

Oh really?? I don't think theres anything wrong using jap parts at all as long as it doesn't look ricey.
Have you heard about WALD?? Dixies? Gruppe M? Needz wheels (same maker as the Renntech monoblock)? how about Meisterchaft? hmm top of the line BBS wheels??
I know there are a lot of craps from japan that I rather die than use on my cars, but trust me bro there are some parts that would make your pants wet.

It's my understanding that most, if not all, BBS LMs are actually made in Japan.

I was speaking mostly about the ricey mufflers posted, of course not all Jap parts are in this category. BBS wheels are some of the nicest wheels period.
