Not really. I used the same tint as the tails I have on now. These look a bit darker cuz they are avant-garde

They are off the C55/CLK55 along with the wheel well. Everything fits like a glove.

Ok here we go. First let me apologize for the black spot on all the pics. Something happened to my iPhone camera. The sound is awesome, I had to come straight to work so I didn't have time to make a clip. I will do it in the morning. No droning while idling. The tips looks like they are a bit too far out in some pics but they are not, it just looks like that. I threw in one pic from the side so you could see. I feel like the left side might be a bit lower than the right. What do you guys think?

Looks great, how much for the labor and piping? I've been quoted like $600-700 for a smaller job, so I'm trying to get a feel for the prices.

Thanks guys. The sound clips should be up by tomorrow. I ended up paying $600 for all the labor and piping. That was more than I wanted to pay, but I just wanted it done already.

Well, the breakdown he gave me was:
Labor - $200
Piping - $150
Magnaflow X-Pipe - $100
And at that time, Tips for $150.

But, I have my own tips now, but I also need him to do some extra welding and to cut my stock AMG tips off of the muffler. I'm expecting to pay around $600 or so.

I'm planning to put my bubble resonators back in place, and then a magnaflow x-pipe, then out to quad tips.

The question is, how much did you spend in total for this quad exhaust setup, including the tire well and heat shields, etc.
