Exhaust Poll
Ok, so i'm trying to figure out what to do with my exhaust and i'm hoping you guys can help. I have a couple options i'm thinking about but i don't know which option is best for sound/power. On page 1& 2 of the link below you will find pictures of my set-up, let me konw which of the following would be best.

BTW, before the Magnaflow X-pipe is my stock header. VOTE
EDIT EDIT: After reading the following thread, i realized that CLK550's DON'T COME WITH secondary cats. So i'm not sure why i would install them, it seems i would only be taking power away from the car. Guess i should install the Borla muffler or look for another custom made muffler that is less restrictive?

this,
4. Stock Headers -> Magnaflow X-pipe -> High flow Cats -> piping -> Borla Muffler...piping and tips
Edit:
Cherry bomb is the muffler...why would you want to put Borla muffler and then another muffler ? Cherry bomn is the old fashion way. I did that because i like the sound and NO my setup is not for everyone but i am happy with it. And just for you to know I used to have a straight pipes ( nothing in btwn after the primary cat to the tips).

I like your set up. If I didn't have to have clients in my car I would.
I like your fourth option, except after the hi flow cats there would be the stock x-pipe as I need that in order to fit the one inlet muffler.

Not taking it personal at all. I am getting more flow as i'm swapping the oem muffler for the Borla, and since i took out my secondary cat and i'm replacing it for a high flow secondary. As far as sound goes, it's too much. I don't mind that much myself but since i have to drive around clients i don't want it being annoying to them. My brother had his secondary cats in his SL500 removed and he's got Elite muffler on it, and it's a good sound, but i think the 550's are much louder than the 500's for some reason.
