I think I ordered the mandrel bend SS pieces from Jegs maybe..? shouldn't have a problem finding them on the web. Let me know if you need to know which bends. I bought (3) bends (1) straight section (1) 2-1 Ypipe (1) magnaflow, and used the AMG tips. All stainless. You may want to consider an aftermarket resonator.

UPDATE:
I am in the middle of working out when I am going to drop off my car to have the suspension installed and the exhaust quoted. They want the car for 2 days... I am trying to squeeze it in for the end of this week but we will see. I will keep you guys posted on the progress.

I am pretty sure it will fit. Sorry don't have the number as I purchased it on the net from a company in the UK. I'll check when I get back hone tonight
Found the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=350214420116
It is even better than in the photo as it has AMG on the top and bottom (see post #236 for the cap I received)

UPDATE:

I have scheduled to drop off of my car on 3/10 to have the suspension installed. This is the culmination of close to 6 months of research and purchases, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Here is the final list of parts that I am having installed, all parts listed are brand new:

Vogtland springs
Bilstein sport shocks
K-MAC front camber kit
MB Arts rear adjustable camber arms
Front lower control arms
Rear control arm kit (replaces all rear control arms except lower)
Rear Lower control arms
Drag link
Sway bar bushings
Sway bar links
Idler arm bushing
Ball joints
Steering damper
Sub Frame bushing kit

It should feel like a new car when I get it back and last me another 10 years or so

Many thanks for that. I'm also a member on MBCub UK as C43AMG. I sold my C43 to Olly the owner of Prestige Cars on the Forum ( Black55 ). Once again many thanks.

I have asked the seller if it would fit the CL just to make sure.
