poll: exhaust

modding is driving me insane....lol thanks to the members on this board.... -__-

seems like someone is always doing something. hopping on the bandwagon again and doing my exhaust. so i have a couple of set ups in mind. so which one would you guys pick?

i found a nice borla on summit racing.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BOR-40349/

seems to be the only center dual that they have for relatively cheaper. the problem would be that one opening in 3" so i would need to weld an adapter for it.

EDIT: meant pipes. not pips. lol

V8's make the sound, our V6's just make the attempt. Save up for other mods.

Not really man. I have a V6 and it sounds way nicer than stock with an exhaust. Dyno got a V6 or at least had and it sounded crazy.

Anything after market will give you a louder growl if that is what you are looking for.
I also think the CLK is incomplete without a quad setup or at least give it a dual.

I vote Borla since eisenmann is more expensive and way louder for my taste

i think i might go borla. for the price of the eisenmann ( i can get a hold of one for around 350 if i act quickly) i can probably get that borla on link for 100. for tips id get the magnaflow dual tips. get a cut out which should be less than 100. and welded for about 150 if not free (friends shop).

if its too loud, i guess i can remove my resonator and get an aftermarket one...

i mean i want a louder growl but not ricey since i have a v6. i dont want it to sound obnoxious but refined.

Quad is where it's at for these cars, they just don't look right with the single pipe. Going with Magnaflow?

I'm going with my AMG muffler and just run a pipe from the muffler to the other side of the car. Easy task hopefully

Kev you asked me that question right?

I think that a quad set up on 350 or 320 would look weird since most of them dont come with AMG bumpers so i think that bheng should go with AMG tips and a borla exhaust
