Mercedes CLK
Want a new muffler/exhaust on my CLK

I have no idea what to get. This is the first upgrade I am adding.

Which sounds the best and adds the most HP.

Any help including web links would be appreciated.

Most people seem to think that RBTech sounds the best. I'm selling my complete system (cat-back twin-pipe 2 resonatores+muffler). Email me if you're interested, mavh430@adelphia.net

best meaning what? in reality, the most an exhaust can add is n e where between 8-12hp at best. is that gonna be fully available at low end rpms? highly unlikely. so, probably 1) looks good and 2) sounds good. this all depends on what you want. i got the AMG exhaust because it looks clean and isnt loud at all. i dont like corrupting the sound of my stereo so i can hear vroom vroom. most of my friends like the brabus one the best, it's a real deep vroom and not nearly as loud as the rb tech one. hope this helps

Won't fit for what I'm doing. Most think it's best for the sound. It's deep and loud when you want it to be. I personally think that the Brabus exhaust is beyond week. I was at the Brabus facility, getting a demonstration of their exhaust a few months ago. I think my stock exhaust was actually louder. Plus, RBTech cost $1500 brand new. That includes 2 resonators and a dual muffler. The Brabus exhaust cost apprx $1200, and consists of: a muffler.
