Ali,

Looks and sounds great kid.. Maybe I should have slapped that Lorinser exhaust on.. lol

Q's: Do you find the exhaust too loud in the cabin (both with the windows up and windows down)? & Do you feel the car vibrating excessively due to the exhaust?

should of lol.


Exhaust is DEFINITELY not too loud, its JUST right.

Its not Screaming like a 55 exhaust, but just enough to excite me and make me wanna keep my foot on that pedal!!!

I had an exhaust on most of my cars and this one is BY FAR my favorite sounding, not at all allot on the ears.


and I don't have any cabin vibrations.

Could you post a picture of the exhaust whenever you have time?

They actually sound pretty mean.

I have no idea. I even tried the video link from the other thread! I've been on **** sites all day so maybe I corrupted my system. I will turn off and restart. Do you have the photobucket link and I will just go to it. From what I can tell from the picture it looks good. Do you get the drone inside the cabin between 2000 and 2300rpm?

Sweet! I got it. It sounds really good. Are you going to cut out the bumper any more around the exhaust? Mine is still a little too close to the pipes for comfort. Did you have to look around very long for that little piece of paper to cover your plate lol.

i have been in cars with ANNOYING exhausts, but i think with the addition of the car being very good at blocking outside noise, it works out juuuuuust GREAT

Jay,

I think Ali has a 500. I have the same emblem and side badges on my 500 when I bought it as well. We're both posers. j/k

goliath:

Nice picture. A set of aftermarket rims will complete the way how the car looks.

I just made a template out of paper, taped it to the bumper, traced around with marker, closed my eyes really tight, and dremeled the ***** out of it. When I opened my eyes it was all done. I was really sweatin it when I started cutting tho.

No joke dude, everything I said is true except for the closed eyes. I was really nervous cutting into the bumper but I used a really good dremel tool and a carbon cutting wheel and it went through it like butter. After I did the cutting I went over it with a small sanding wheel. It really wasnt too difficult. I would definitely put it up on a ramp or put it on a lift so you can make it even on both sides. You're a do-it-yourselfer...give it a try, when it warms up.

It's pretty interesting (perhaps lame on my part) that I always have to remind the service technician who signs me in at the dealership that I actually have a CL500, not 55. I don't even have the sport AMG bodykit on my car.

Maybe my kompressor side badges will find justification to them when I get that supercharger installed.

Baby: Yes, it most certainly is lame...take the Kompressor off. The AMG is one thing but the 55 and the Komp is really posing.

Goliath: OMG is that a real Pano roof on your CL? I mean Vano? Or do I mean Pinyl.
