My new Exhaust setup

After a year with the Eisenmann race quad I decided to make a change. I loved the Eisenmann quad, but my wife was complaining. But it sounded good and with no droning! Clip of my old exhaust:

https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...lip-video.html

New setup:
Magnaflow round 4" x 22" muffler
y pipe
2 glass packs/resonators on each side
Brabus quad tips (from a w211 Quad)

Here's pics and a clip of my new exhaust. Exactly what I was looking for: more mellow exhaust, no droning, sounds very close to my old Brabus dual, maybe just a little bit louder.






SOUND CLIP:

My old Eisenmann quad exhaust will be up for sale soon.

Wow, what a beautiful installation!
What about heat on the right side by the spare well? Anything?
If not, uh oh, I feel possible 'theft of design' coming on!

Looks and sounds good! Do you have one of the mufflers on each side? It's hard to tell from the pics.

Some heat but not enough to cause any issues.

And I just did what a bunch of people have done before me or close!

Johnny Franklin muffler in San Rafael. I go there for all my exhaust work because I work near there. I don't have much of a hook up there though unfortunately.
