Custom Exhaust Recommendations

Hi,

I am looking to install a custom exhaust on a 2007 CLK 550. Something with a low muscle car tone. Loud is OK. But, it can't sound like something on a Honda Civic, lol.

What brands are good? Will the dealer install it? I am concerned they wont cover a warranty repair. Has anyone ever had a dealer deny a warranty claim due to having an custom exhaust? Will the exhaust hurt the engine sensors, catalytic converter, etc?

Don't go near a custom exhaust if you're worried about warranty. Here are some threads of the recent exhaust projects.

Until they could somehow link the fault part to you exhaust.

Thanks for the advice. I have been doing a lot of research. I will prob have an MB Performance shop near me do the work. Just looking for a simple cat-back without having to convert to dual exhaust.

I might just hold off since I am still under warranty
