lol, im actually trying to get this eisenmann exhaust but its not a quad.

mergim22

Is having a resonator make a notable difference in sound? Does it make the car sound too loud? I'm considering having my resonator deleted but I want some information before i do it.

ZEEK

not really, its basically no difference, you will probably notice a tiny difference on the highway but thats about it.

M-bENZ

All i know is resonator del. + magnaflow =

ZEEK

the one your selling is just the muffler right? to have the quad you need a x-pipe right?

M-bENZ

NO u dont this is how u should do , you can do either one. I used the second one very similar to that except I didnt use the Remus too much cant afford. I used magnaflow

ZEEK

that def looks nice...my goal is to stay under $600 because for $600 i can find a used eisenmann...

M-bENZ

you can if u can find the cheap muffler shop I mean the parts doesnt cost dat much but the labor u know Plus I used the AMG tips so dat added more $$$ lol. but yea that should u give u an idea how to do your . Good luck

ZEEK

is that your car? basically i will need a muffler, midpipes and the quad pipe? no need to move the spare tire right?

omar26

you dont need to move the spare tire, the second one shows the pipe going around the spare tire, i also done it this ways due to shop reccomending this way, but you are going to lose some low end torque, thts one reason why most get a tuned ecu as well to make up for the loss. If you do just the dual exhaust you dont have to worry bout losing the torque

M-bENZ

so did u lose the low end torque b4 u got ECU tuned (speedtunning) ???? I can tell u I didnt lose any low end torque before I got ECU tuned I guess because I have the dual not quad but there is one thing I dont get it those are just the tips I mean is that really matter if u put dual or quad ?

M-bENZ

lol no its not my car . Im just lucky to see that from Benzworld.org. Those are two different set up. One go after the exhaust(1st pix) the other one connect b4 the exhaust( 2nd pix) and that what I had the second one. Dont buy anything yet print that pix out and go to the muffler shop tell them u wana have it like that and of course u can buy any tips you want

ZEEK

alright guys im beginning to understand this exhaust world, last question though... can we buy this whole setup from remus straight or magnaflow? and then just have the shop install them?

MB Dave

shop is so much cheeper just find a shop that uses t 304 quality steel and mandrel bends in the piping not crush. mandrel provides less restriction but its a bit on the pricy side

omar26

i lost some before the ecu tune, main reason why i decided to do the tune was bc NJ500C had the same setup before me and reccomended it


I bought everything from the exhaust shop except the tips...these are rough estimates of wot i remember.....muffler- 150, 3in pipes 150, tips- 100, install to change all piping from catback, special heat coating for the pipes, muffler install, and bumper cutout-400. Iwould reccomend 2.5 in piping tho, thts wot i did on my SL, 3in would be better suited for a kompressor car.

ZEEK

you guys are good i appreciate all the help...thanks

M-bENZ

Sure you can but I dont think you can find the whole set up that cheaper than the one u going to custom it. Look at the second pix those are Remus from Bavarian Auto u check the price online. If I remember right then that set up is cost $900 some excluding the labor .So what u think ? LOL

Babo4u

I believe the Brabus Exhaust is about $850 as well.

M-bENZ

but can this muffler custom like the second pix in the post#31 ??? I think thats what he wants.

ZEEK

yes thats what im looking to do.

REMUS

The quad posted is for the E46 3 series, it will not fit the CLK W209. We unfortunately do not offer the quad powersound label for the Mercedes lineup.

M-bENZ

I didnt say that system is going to fit our CLK W209 . I know that system for E46 3 series( my friend bought it for along time ago) and I posted the pix there is just because I just wana show ZEEK the idea how the whole set up look. The set up in the pix is the one that we got in mine and Omar26

KleanC

zeek, do a striaght pipe with quad tips, and if you dont liek it put in mufflers.

I have a 55 im running straight pipes with quad tips. I think the set up is similar to the silverclk on here.

Im planning on putting in 2 magnaflow mufflers and taking out the 2nd cat's later.

my original plan was to do straight pipe and if i didnt like it to just throw mufflers in but i fell in love with the straight pipe sound.

ZEEK

hey why dont you post pics of your car underneath? that way i can show the shop what i want.
