CLK500 & Exhaust

Hi guys:

Just purchased a 2005 CLK500 coupe. What is the best way to increase the sound of the engine without compromising horsepower and/or torque? Any mufflers that you recommend? I kind of like it to be loud.

Pics, links, etc...would be appreciated.

Thanks a million!

Joe

You cannot change the sound of the engine. You can change the sound of the exhaust. If you want a deeper roaring note, get Brabus. If you want a loud sound, get the Eisenmann Race exhaust.

You will not lose or gain ang hp or torque by changing the muffler.

Is it a full cat back, or just the muffler?
Thanks

Does yours have the inserts inside the muffler tips like I've seen on the version for the C32?
