Will the newer style square exhaust AMG tips fit a w215
I'm about to embark on trying to retrofit the w215 with the new style square exhaust AMG tips.
I doubt its been done before. I also have one of EuroTeck's 10 carbon fiber diffusers, so it may need some alteration. Does anyone know how much difference there is in size between the oval tips and square tips? There can't be THAT much of a difference seeing as the same W216 chasis uses both oval and then later square exhaust tips. And I don't think it would look out of place either because the W216 and the W221 both switched up the styles and both look great. I think it would look interesting and definitely seperate itself from other W215's out there. Any help is appreciated.
Also, someone needs to freakin' retrofit some LED running lights for the W215 already too!

Same car, everything, CL63, but that new exhaust just looks better...to me at least. It's my car and I rather make myself happy.
Here's some average at best, pics of the new the tips:
I've never seen this done on a W215, so hopefully if it goes good, people can reference this thread to know if it can or can not be done
: Off tomorrow to get it powder coated satin black with the AMG letters in red. If it looks good, which I'm pretty sure it will with the carbon fiber diffuser, I'll post pics. Should be mean

Shipping out the diffuser tomorrow, too? 
All this time to buy mods, but not to do your due diligence? 
edit: I saw you posted in B. Gorman's thread. My concern is that you don't swindle other members. I only think it's fair that you don't run the guy around.
I'm done.

Next phase of the exhaust tips competed; powder coat. I got them powder coated satin black.
Next part is getting the /////AMG emblem in red
I lined the new exhaust tips under the existing circular exhaust tips, and the way my car is with the diffuser, it should fit properly. However, ran into a roadblock!!
The W215 CL55s have 2 pipes on each side, 1 going into each tip. The new set I have has 1 pipe that curves and forms into 2 tips.
I guess the logical and correct way to install these is to cut ALL the pipe from basically the beginning of the new tip and weld new separate 3" piping for each tip, like the factory layout? Does that make sense or do you guys think there's a different method to this install? Not really one with exhaust systems and such.

You'll have to have some welding done and open up the tips.

Well I did ask the question back in September. No one got back to me, no one. So that's where I come in and have to do some pioneering because I can't rely on others. If no one has done the conversion on this car, how am I supposed to notice before I try it first hand...someone has to attempt it. My main concern was fitment, but it's going to fit good after aligning it. I don't know why I'm lol oh well.

I think you'll need to cut the small pipe running on the inside tip to the outside tip and weld on a new one that mates up with your stock exhaust system. I think its probably better to modify the tips then the pipes on the stock system. It shouldn't be too much work for a shop to figure out. Are you sure the stock diam will mate up with the diam of the piping on the tips?

To be honest, all you had to do was look underneath the car and at the pictures of the tips before you bought them. Oh well... lessons learned

I have posted about 30% of the mods on here that I have and/or got customized lol
I like to help people know that certain niche things that you might want to get customized can be done. Ex: I have Maybach style running lights in my mirrors that also work as the intended turn signals.
The SLR shifter is ****ing trecherous. Turning the car on like a fighter pilot is a pretty cool feeling
Works just like it should.Just understand when I'm finished creating it and get a legit photoshoot, you'll hopefully appreciate that much more.
