new member intro...with pics
 

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Bought this car brand new in 2006 and have only done a couple little mods...engine tuning, air filters, wheels and that's it. I am joining the forum now to get some good ideas, advice, and help.

After going to a couple track events with my local Merc dealer, I am interested in upgrading the suspension and exhaust on the car now. I can find plenty of suspension options, but the exhaust seems to be almost impossible to find for a 2006 CLK55 AMG convertible. Any and all help on this would be much appreciated.

Well, here are some pics of the ride...let me know what you think :)

Nice car! I would recommend deleting the resonator and secondary cats for more exhaust sound and better flow.

Thanks

I took the car to a custom exhaust shop, and they told me it doesn't have a resonator...true or false???

Maybe they already got chopped off, show us pics of the underside

Nice car btw :)

Ok, I will try to get the car up in the air tomorrow and take some pics...

Sorry for the rough pics, these were taken during a track event at Roebling Road in Savannah, GA...you should see some of the other Mercs that were there...

doesnt come with a resonator

Cool...didn't think someone had chopped them off, I have had this car since it was brand new!!!

So what does everyone do to get more of a rumble from the exhaust?

Based on what Ive seen on this forum, some do and some dont. Mine doesnt.

How do you like your Kleeman tune? Cost? did you have it dynoed?

From some pictures I've seen, some CLK's have bubble resonators in place of the secondary cats, then no additional resonator down-stream. I had primary and secondary cats with a res, all changed now though.

Tune is ok...will be better when I free up the exhaust...

Cost was around $1000...

No dyno yet, thinking about doing it after some headers and cats though...
