CLK 550
Exhaust setup CLK

I think it wouldnt be a bad idea, that everyone could have a future reference when it goes to various exhaustsetups.
I have found some very good exhaust threads but unfortunately there was no chance to compare them because its hard to read through all these threads until the vids pop up.
Before you post your vids here please explain:
-wich engine, 320, 350...
-what setup, true dual quad w/secondaries, resonator etc., quad-look
-muffler type, magnaflow, flowmaster...

So heres mine first and I hope that many will join this :-)
Engine:
550
Setup:
everything stock besides the 3inch pipe from the secondaries
Into a quad-look setup, on the left the muffler and then behind the bumper the pipe to the right side onto the quad tips.
-muffler type:
Bastuck

I live in germany.
As for 350 rims and AMG Kit:
Really havent got a clue what Kit comes with what rims, just bought it like that.
19 inches are allready ordered and as soon they arrive Ill post the pictures, for sure :-) but they wont be staggered
Also heard that its strange that I do not have shiftpaddels on the steeringwheel, since its a CLK 550 and these cars have to come with it, well mine doesnt, unfortunately :-(

AMG kit is optional in Europe. Doesn't matter if you got a CLK200K or 550, the kit is not included for eg 500 or 550 in Europe, as they are in US.

Lucky that GCC spec'd 500 cars came with the AMG kit too, it transforms the whole look of the car. I never really knew how much of an impact it made until Mikey did the conversion.

If I hadn't made the conversion I would have definitely sold the car within the first year. It looked way too ordinary. It's a keeper for now

Eisenmann Race cat back exhaust system with quad tips. Stock spare tire well replaced with 05 CLK55 AMG's to accomodate 2 mufflers. Gives out angry growls at WOT even with the stock resonators - loud enough for me. LOL. What I love the most is this low burbling sound it makes from idle to 2,000 rpm when driving around town.
