It's finally done dual sebring exhaust and new grille!!!!
well after some help from Dynomite and a real search in the market, i finally found what i wanted.
The spare part mercedes guy wanted to sell me 2 oval AMG tips for 400USD, which is quite cheap considering their real price. then he showed me two oval Sebring tuning tips that he took off an crashed SL 600.
So I went to the body shop and he did some good job, then went to the exhaust shop which installed them, the diameter of the pipe is 4.5 cm.
Then I bought the avangarde front 3 slat grill.
Still have the 550 bumper to install but not for the moment (little short on money
). it's an original one taken off a crashed clk, 800USD and he aslo have the original 63 front bumper for 2000USD. it will be the next step.
below the pics, appreciate your comments guys... the sound is really sick didnt imagine that it could change that much...
seems like a beast now

so just the sebring tip gave it a nice sound? and the tip just got welded onto the muffler? it looks awesome. i want to do dual tips as well but don't want to do a muffler swap...

No as I said they linked it to a 4.5 cm pipe from behind the spare tyre and linked it to the original pipe. So now I have to seperate pipes and two tips.

well what we did is we stood straight in front of the rear bumper and looked down in order to check if they hang out and they didn't. but you are right from some angles it seems like they are hangin a bit out. I will upload other pics so you can see that effectively they don't.
I tried to upload a vid from my cell phone but my video recorder is ... I will do it with another cam.
but they don't look ugly??? or you find it not that nice??

I'm not saying they look ugly, but from the pictures they need to be cleaned up (moved back) a little thats all, just an opinion Some daytime pics will give us all a better look.

10x ahmad, I didn't want to go for the quad because i thought it was too much for a 320, if it was a 500 I would have done it (IMO)
I bought it from the same guy but it was like a year ago. If you wanna do the exhaust and wing... I really push you to do it with this guy... he is really cool and knows what people are looking for...
. If you want PM me and I'll give you his address and all the info you need.

What it may be is that because it was dark, you took the pictures with a flash and that the car is dark - the tips my look like they are hanging out farther than the actually are.

Always good to hear others opinions but in the end, it's your car and it's important to be happy with what you have and what you've done with it - regardless of what other say or think.
I happen to think that, for the most part, this is a really great group of guys on this forum with diverse experience and bckgrounds. They'll help you along and keep you honest at the same time.
Looking forward to the pics!

10x bro, i made a vid but it was poor quality (image and sound) so I don't wanna upload it. It could give a bad idea bout the sound, and I really encourage to install sebring after all the exhaust I have heard.
wanna do it right so I can help if soemone is looking for which brand to install...
I had that big big smile the first time I heard it...I want everybody to have the same effect...hehehehe
