My CLK walk through - exhaust vid

So I messed around with my exhaust about a month ago.
I didn't rev it too hard (3800), didn't feel like pissing off the neighbors. 2nd to last rev i hit the sweet spot tasty exhaust pop. I love that sound when i come to an aggressive stop. This is also a warm start.

Got a good shot of my LED tails in there if your questioning getting them. Halo headlights, painted grill, OZ wheels, touch screen HU, 2 tone seats. Not a whole lot of exterior mods but hopefully you will find tasteful.

Note: First run at this (and running out of light) i'll post a better one probably later. Suggest playing it in 720p and you will need more volume!

Very nice -- all your mods go together perfectly and the LED tails are tempting me...I must resist. OZs looks great too.

I was just thinking that there's not really much "enthusiast" CLK content in this forum anymore and don't see many pics or vids of 208s since they're getting older. I was contemplating putting together a sort of fun 208 dedication post and your post makes me think I should do it. Thanks for taking the time for the walk around.

You are right, the new MODS have really died since most of us have moved on to other new toys. But, I still have my love for the W208 and it sits in the garage paid off and sitting pretty. I love when I drive it somewhere and get the "Nice car man" comments. I will admit I never finished my dream of new wheels and re-done seats. I did the suede roof liner and then bought a bike and have been riding that thing daily.

I need to give some love to the CLK again after seeing that video! That exhaust gurgle reminded me of my old Eisenmann race exhaust I used to have installed..NEVER should have sold that damn thing!
