Improving Exhaust Note
Hello World,
Looking for some advice or suggestions for the exhaust on my CLK320 1999 Cab, YEA YEA I know it's only a V6, and missing 2 cylinders of an EIGHT and will never sound like one.:smash. LOL
I also own a 5lt Ford V8 with an awesome note...
The massive rear muffler is just so dam quite ... I would love to give this girl some personality of her own....
Could any one let me know if there is any risks of fault codes if I replace the "massive" deadening box with a sports /Performance type muffler ..
I am also running a K&N air filter which has made a wonderfull difference to the motor .....runs smoother a appears to have helped throttle response ..YEA
Thanks for helping if you can..
Cheers to all

If you are just replacing the muffler after the cats you shouldn't have any error codes.
Be careful with K&Ns as the oil can foul up your MAF meter.

Hey Josh,
Cool thanks for the info, I am using K&N's in all my other cars, including a HI Perf V8, and my Sr 6 also Hi Perf... I have all one in my wife Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 and it runs like a "top"...... For the un experienced ... YEP you are right re the MAF's
However ... do NOT over oil the filter and allow the oil to dry completely normally 12/24 hours (depending on weather Temp)
Before re installing.... and no problems ....
Cheers Mate
