2004 CLK500
new owner, questions
hello, I just traded in my 02 Porsche Boxster S for a 04 CLK500 with 73k miles. It is not my primary car so I am wanting to do some mods, I am planning the 55k intake setup, H&R springs, some 18's (probably try and find factory AMG wheels) but my question is about exhaust, what is the most cost effective? Ive searched but can never find a clear answer. Just doing a Magnaflow rear muffler and removed center resonator? Anyone have part numbers for the Muffler?
Second is about the springs, I understand it is essentially the same as a C-class which looks straight forward and easy, is there any DIY threads on doing this, or is it so simple it does not require one?
Thanks!

edit-I think I am going to use Magnaflow 11219, but does anyone have any recommendations for a tip? I want to do a double tip coming from the muffler (not a quad, just a double) also what do most people do with the center resonator? I want it gone lol.

If you're using the OEM exhaust manifolds and leaving all the cats in place, just delete the OEM resonator and replace the OEM muffler with Magnaflow, it's sound deeper with no drone.
