2005 CLK55 COUPE
2002 CLK55 Dual Exhaust

I just say a CLK 430 with dual exhaust driving down a street. Does anyone have any pictures of one? Does anyone know what is involved in setup a 2002 CLK55 with dual exhaust?

Thanks

Honestly itswaste of time & money. If you want more power & sound just upgrade your 2nd cats to high flow 300-cell metal core cats, you will gain roughly 9.7HP & 12TQ for just upgrading secondary cats. You get more sound & power for $300 in parts & labor. hope that helps.

You may have to cut into your spare tire well in order to run a proper dual setup. The other possible scenario is to run the mufflers in the middle of the car and then just run piping to tips in the rear but this will be significantly louder. I would recommend a 18-22" 2x2.25 magnaflow muffler with an X-pipe before it and then run 2.25 or 2.5" mandrel bent piping all the way back to tips. But honestly it will probably only be for looks & sound. the stock catback system is best for power, the only thing you need to upgrade on the 208 clk55s is high flow cats & headers.

Hope that helps.

Most Quad exhaust conversions result in either zero power or power loss because they are not designed properly for flow, just for aesthetics. Keep that in mind...

Not at the back, but in the middle of the car there should be enough room depending on what can size you get.

The middle is very tight only about 10 inches wide the magnaflow mufflers are too wide...
