I went to an exhaust shop today and was quoted $600 for the job, including parts.
Here's the breakdown:
Labor - $200
Piping - $150
Magnaflow X-Pipe - $100
Magnaflow Tips ($75x2) - $150
Total Cost: $600
I also called the exhaust shop that clkboi is getting his quads done today at and asked them about the tips, and the guy said that they're either "Jones" or "Different Trends" exhaust tips. I've gone to both of their websites and can't find these tips.

My price for the Friday job on the CLS:
AMG mufflers and tips: $700
AMG Carbon Fiber Diffuser: $160
Labor for cutting bumper: $50-60
Weld job for mufflers: $90
Not too bad...

So this took longer than i thought. Dropped the car off at 9am got it back at 7pm
4 hours my car was just sitting there and 3 hours of pure labor and sweat from the guys.
First they cut my stock exhaust ( Holy **** was that thing big lol ) and they put on a magnaflow.
I couldn't get pictures of the work unfortunately as i got there after school and they had already done the piping and the magnaflow install. Just no tips.
They had to cut both sides of my bumper unfortunately for the tips to fit. They made a rough cut not a professional one. I am getting that fixed at a body shop tomorrow morning. Gotta give it a nice rounded shape or maybe make a plastic mold to cover the space not sure yet.
Anyways, car turns on and i didn't really like it. Too loud and lots of rumbling.
They saw the look in my face and told me if i wanted to go with a flowmaster.
Doubtful but i had no choice...
Everything is re-done and this time i loved the sound. Exactly what i was looking for.
Here are some pic i was able to snap at the time:

The guys said the hardest part is leveling the two pipes so they dont look weird, and cutting the freaking stock pipes. They again broke a couple of knives lol.
Overall i love the finished results and i also the love the way the tips look.
Video - will do another one tomorrow this is just a quick one. Rainy here and only had my iPhone on me

Total cost $400. He said tell your buddies he wont do that anymore( too much work which he didnt think of, Mercedes are a pain)
