Hello I'm 16 and about to get my license I am thinking of a 2004 CLK 500 because I found a really good deal here locally.

I was thought how to drive on an M6 and an X5 M so CLK I think is a perfect choice.

My main questions are about after market parts for it. Like exhaust systems, and performance upgrades.

First of all what exhaust system would sound pretty deep, but not extremely loud(not like rice)?

Then what are some performance boosts available for this benz?

Thank you guys for your answers, and suggestions!

Not really sure about performance upgrades but keep us updated on the car search.

I went to the place earlier today and looked at it, its in excellent condition, the leather is great, no no scratches, or anything like that, no cracks, its a black interior, and black exterior, it does have damage in the back, all it needs is the trunk door, both taillights, bumper, and a cover to cover the spare tire. And the guy who is selling it has the tail lights, and the trunk door, and they are included into the price.
It starts up and drives really nice, I was actually a bit surprised since I drove a 430 (W208) not a long time ago.

So I have been going through some videos and looking at different exhaust(s) people have used, or did to there exhaust

First of how would you be able to do something like this:

Another thing people have said that super sprint exhaust sound really nice, and I looked at a few videos of super sprint, so if I install the super sprint exhaust will I be able to do the dual or quad exhaust thing?
I am aiming for something like this:

Another thing that I really like is custom cutouts, it is loud, but sounds really deep so if I get the super sprint and put a cutout would be on overkill? and will it ruin the super sprint exhaust?

No idea man. The only thing I'm doing to my car are tints. I would get the VIN and have some of the guys here check it for you just to rule out any issues.

Okay. Thanks!

A MY2004 CLK500 should be a great car - the M113 V8 is a great engine and the 722.6 transmission is in for the long haul with proper service.

Yeah I think that it will be a good first car, yeah i heard the same thing about the transmission, but our family friend has a shop that specializes in European cars so if any problems do pop up it will be serviced in a great shop.
Do you know anything about my other questions tough?

I remember guys adding the AMG sprint boosters to their non-kompressed CLK's or something like that.
