AMG mufflers

Hi,

has anyone any experience in changing the stock mufflers into AMG muffflers? I am trying to get the awesome sound of a 65.
​​​​​
car is a 04 w215 cl600 v12tt
​​​​​​​mufflers pulled of a 05 cl55 komp.

And what is the pipe diameter of the stock 600 tt exhaust (2.5" or 3")?

Thanks a lot for the answers. Any help is much appreciate

The 65 has the same exhaust as a 600, but with no resonators. Just have yours removed. Stock size is about 2.75", it's a metric size but it's not quite 3"

Remove your resonators and you will have the same exhaust as a 65... no reason to swap mufflers.
