The 4-pipe exhaust is available through the AMG Manufaktur.

Thanks
After I posted, I noticed the press shots and hence the "normal" non-kompressor engine.
Is it in standard tune, or with more than 367bhp?
The wheels and pipes certainly make it look miles better than a stock CLK55. Not sure about the front spoiler though - perhaps a little too much Vectra GSi?

PS I'm in Munchen too.

I think its gorgeous, I want it. I love the front bumper with those vents and the 4 piped exhaust. Wish it were the Kompressor engine though.

The only exception would be an individual one-off 4-pipe exhaust through AMG Unique Manufacturing (see http://www.mercedes-benz.com/amg/e/manu/index.htm). But that would be ridiculously expensive.

All I really want to know is...
about that wheel/tire setup. Should I assume that they are cutting the 19" CL style wheel for the 209 now? Anyone have a part #? Amazing that it can iimprove the looks so much...

That was my question....
I know that the 19" fitment on the 209 is not that big a deal-- other tuners have it. But I was just wondering if that wheel was now in the AMG or MB parts catalog with the correct offsets for 209, not a modified 215 wheel (which I assume is easy for AMG to get a vendor to cut or machine).
