W209 CLK 500
Diameter of Exhaust Piping - Differents betwen CLK 500 and CLK 55 AMG??

Hello,

does anybody know the diameter from the exhaust piping for following models:

CLK 500 --> 225kw 306PS Engine M 113.968
CLK 55 AMG --> 270kw 367PS Engine M 113.987

I think the Clk 500 had 70mm piping ( 2.76inch)

and the 55 AMG ?! 80mm (3.15inch) or the same like the CLK 500?!

Regards
Bastian

Don't know, but I used an X-pipe and mufflers with 2.5" openings and didn't have any problems.

i don`t need to go to an exhaust shop ;-)
