Ok, so i just got back. The exhaust looks GREAT but it's a bit too loud for me. I had my cat and resonators yanked out and we installed a 409SS muffler after the x pipe and brought out 2 pipes for the quad. So basically it goes OEM headers-> magnaflow X-pipe -> Muffler -> tips. From a light, it's a bit too loud from 1-2k for me, i think i need to either 1) put the lil bubble resonators back on to make a bit quieter or 2) get a new muffler? if so what should i get?


Elijah, you're shipping info is updated on paypal

user 76208202

Almost forgot...pix. Just 3 of the work, rest is on my camera. This is before the tips were set in place and etc. Also, keep in mind my X-pipe was NOT done by Pepe, it was dont at a CRAPPY shop...you can see the bad job on it

dynomite05

Nice, post some finished pics of the tips when you get a chance. I think you should go with a Magnaflow muffler.

Looking good dude.

user 76208202

you think it'll be less quiet? magnaflow + bubble resonators?

elijah

Cool Appreciate it bro. I'll be back home on Saturday just in time to receive the tips.

How loud is your car, you have a clip? I told you about what I had planned, I think I'll be doing something similar to your setup magnaflow xpipe & borla muffler with sec cat delete. It'll sound like a demon straight from hell!!

user 76208202

It's LOUD. Like a truck almost...but at WOT it sounds weird because the muffler is still breaking in. Pepe said once it breaks in if i don't like the sound he'll swap it out for a Magnaflow.

Magnaflow or Borla? Wes, you got Magnaflow right?

M-bENZ

loud ? Did you hear mine ? Post some video clip so we can hear it... I see that you still have the stock Y-pipe in place why not get the magnaflow ( the one w/ 2 in & 2 out) then 2 new pipe going after your x pipe then muffler then another 2 pipe to the tips .

Edit: Both of my friend ( they all have CLK500) got the magnaflow and i used to have the magnaflow on my 320 back then but i decided to use the two cherry bomb this time on mine 500.

user 76208202

Here is a finished product. I'll take pix of the underbody soon

user 76208202

I thiink i will. If i go back to get a new muffler i'll have Pepe re do the x-pipe and y pipe. The x pipe is fine, but the looks just bother me.

PS guys, i just heard it from the outside...it's not as loud from the outside (just sounds like a LOUD E55)...i guess it's the drone on the inside...would the bubble resonators fix that?

slowCLK

what was the price for installation ?

Klinh

Sorry.......it doesn't do anything for me anymore. Too many PEOPLE already done the mods.

user 76208202

What is your set up? What muffler did you use?

M-bENZ

Lol

user 76208202

Anyone have any clue as to what i can do to get rid of the drone?
I was thinking of putting my bubble resonators back on-i'm thinking right after my X pipe and before the oem Y pipe. Would that help reduce the drone or should i do it after the muffler? OR.....should i replace my x-pipe with a resonated x-pipe? I'm trying to reduce drone..please chime in

Klinh

The cheapest way included real AMG exhaust tips for $450 (included parts, labor and $50 tip for Pepe). Your route were offered to me by Pepe but for $1500, I said no thanks.

Klinh

I personally think because it your X-pipe. Try the H-pipe like on factory. H pipe air does not clash each other like U pipe and X pipe.
