CLK 500 Quad muffler
This is my 05 CLK500 at South Korea.
I did Quad Muffler with AMG Tips at my CLK500.
we had hard time making dual line from after resonator.
i was planning straight pipe after cat but could not take out Y pipe after cat so deleted resonator, end muffler and quad tips.
sounds are very loud and low.

I don't see any mufflers at all! That must be the loudest car in all of SK.

That looks like a really great job of welding and laying out the tubing. Do you plan to get a sound clip for us?
Why did you use the single tube between the front and rear sections and not run dual (two) tubes from front to rear?

There seems to be very little clearance between the rear tubing on the right side of the car and the gas tank. I think your gas tank is just behind the black plastic cover where you have the tubing going up and over the sway bar.
I mention this because I used pipe wrap on my custom exhaust because my gas tank was getting too hot; would smell gas fumes (vapors) if I filled the tank and parked it in the garage. My tubing runs under the sway bar and is therefore much farther from the gas tank than your setup. But the heat of the tube was still too much in that area.
Perhaps the gas tank is configured differently for the Korean market.

Thanks. me and my machanic was trying to put it there so hard and worked. i was trying to take out middle single line, but couldnt not do it since we couldnt take out 1st cat and re lining them. but i am okay with middle single pipe even it made little power loss.

Very impressive with the fab skills on your car. Very hard to find a shop in USA with this quality, most are hack jobs. If you find a place to do this type work you will pay big bucks stateside. Well done.
