where'd you order those amg tips? i'm getting a diffuser soon, so i need to start planning my exhaust setup

dynomite05

Nice! Can't wait to see pics.

Dragon did you see the thread with the part #'s for the AMG tips? You could get them through parts.com for around $120 each I believe. That's if you cant find them used on eBay or classifieds.

dragon_27

ok thanks

CLK550AMGpkg

Nice Cant wait to see how the quads look.

Klinh

Some how those AMG tips doesn't look right, like the real thing.

M-bENZ

what make u say that ?

Andy

Klinh

It not a double rolled tip like the real AMG (look like you can see throught it) and the welding on those tips are not factory like workmanship.

M-bENZ

so you telling me that "ALL" the AMG tips ( for all AMG cars) will have the double rolled ? If i remembered correctly then he got the tips from the S-class.

Andy

Klinh

That explained it from an S-class because of the way the pipe bent downward. And because of the way the pipe bent downward, it also tell me that it not from a real s55 amg tips.The factory S55 amg tips are straight forward like on mine CL 55. Based on the pic, you can see throught the tip, it look to me that the previous owner were trying to make his S-class quad tips. Yes, all AMG muffler tips are double rolled to prevent heat from discolor the tips.

dynomite05

If only my tips weren't in the shop I would take some pics of the insides.

It has begun...

dynomite05

Nice! I see you went the DIY route. Looks like you have the same X-pipe as me. You will definitely like it. That garage looks huge, very good space to do some work.

Wait.......are those wee wee pads?

kevblah

Thanks, I just put the finishing touches on it by sanding down the rough edges with the dremel and applying touch up paint. I hope that X-Pipe does the trick, I was pretty spoiled by my Eisenmann Race setup on my W203 that I don't want just any exhaust sound. Yeah, it's a good size garage, fits 3 cars side by side, but it's a tight squeeze, so my mom and dad get garage rights while my girlfriend and I have to park outside.

And yes, those are doggy pads...I figured it would be the easiest way to keep myself clean and dry, since there was water and snow dripping from the car.

Now, as far as the exact exhaust setup.

Route A: X-Pipe Only, No Muffler
Route B: Bubble Resonators and X-Pipe, No Muffler

Still haven't decided...

dynomite05

X-pipe and no muffler might be a bit loud. How about x-pipe and resonators, no muffler?

kevblah

I can't decide either way. I might have them cut the muffler off, then take it for a quick spin to see how I like it.

dynomite05

Definitely try it out before you decide. I had my muffler off for a few days and that $h!t was loud, I could imagine a bigger engine.

lowpost

hah hah..yeah I got some of those too. multipurpose.

dynomite05

Lol, makes sense.

Kevwood

A DIY'er, atta boy! Good luck!

kevblah

When it comes to taking a blade to my car, I wouldn't trust anyone else but myself, haha.

How are things coming along? Progress?
