FFXF1

Since winter has settled in and the 55 AMG is tucked away in the garage, started planning for my mods this coming spring.

Spent some time on the boards learning about performance upgrades to the CLK55 AMG Cabrio, and sharing insights with BlackBenzz and others around here. I've decided the first project will be to add a set of MBH Long Tube Headers, along with 2ndry Cat Delete. I'm having a EuroCharged ECU/TCU tune done now, and will have it upgraded when I mod the exhaust.

Have been wanting to do a true-dual / quad exhaust on the car, and am thinking of combining the two projects - headers and true-dual. From what I can determine, there are two main considerations when doing a true-dual to the 55 AMG Cab. 1) Modification of the underbody to accept the second set of pipes, and then the construction / installation of the system.

As far as underbody mods, I've been considering doing a complete spare delete, or getting a mini-tub from a CLK Coupe. Since the spare tire tub will be out of the way, was also thinking of replacing the cabrio fuel tank with one from a CLK63 BS Coupe, or a SummitRacing fuel cell in the trunk and getting everything back along the centerline. And then finally, pulling it all together with a 63 BS Sway Bar.

Once the underbody has been modified to accept a true-dual, was wondering if it's even possible to get a complete 63 BS exhaust system, or better to have one custom built from the headers back?

Interested in hearing comments/suggestions.

Lastly, numerous Google searches have proven that sourcing CLK63 AMG BS parts on the open market is next to impossible. Anybody know of a way to source the things I'm looking for, or simply keep a close eye and jump when the occasional part becomes available?

Cheers,
Greg

I heard that you shouldn't do the tub swap because the cab has body bracings for stiffing the chassis. If you can find a photo of the CLK DTM version, you might be able to see how they did the quad exhaust for the cab.

CLK DTM uses the same setup as a C55 and CLK55 single all the way back then Y off to twin mufflers

— Parts Sales Terms Abroad —
Exclusively applicable to sales by Mercedes-AMG GmbH to foreign business persons who in concluding the contract of sale are acting in a commercial or
independent professional capacity, and to public authorities abroad.
I. Scope of Application
1. The contract of sale shall be governed exclusively by these Terms and
Conditions of Sale. If the Buyer is a legal entity under public law, a
publicly-owned legal entity, or a business person who, in concluding
the contract, acts in a commercial or independent professional
capacity, the following shall apply: Conflicting terms of the Buyer shall
not apply.
2. These terms and conditions of sale apply to the sale of new and
reconditioned original parts and components and of accessories of all
kinds to business persons domiciled outside the Federal Republic of
Germany who, in concluding the contract of sale, are acting in a
commercial or independent professional capacity, and to foreign public
authorities and foreign publicly-owned legal entities.
II. Conclusion of the Contract, Amendments to the Contract and
Assignment
1. Offers of the Seller are not binding.
2. The Buyer shall be bound by the order for a period not exceeding four
weeks. The contract of sale is concluded when within this period the Seller
confirms in writing or by electronic mail the acceptance of the order for
the objects of sale described in more detail. In any event, the contract of
sale shall be concluded when delivery has been made. The Seller shall be
obliged to inform the Buyer without delay if it does not accept the order.
3. Amendments or addenda to the contract and oral statements must be
in writing or by electronic mail.
4. During the delivery period, the manufacturer’s right to make design or
shape modifications, to deviate from the colour shade and make changes
to the scope of delivery is reserved, provided that the Buyer can
reasonably be expected to accept such changes or deviations, taking the
interests of the Seller into account.
The Buyer cannot derive any rights from any marks or numbering used by
the Seller or the manufacturer to identify the order or the objects of sale
ordered.
5. The rights and duties of the Buyer arising from the contract of sale may
not be transferred without the Seller’s consent in writing or by electronic
mail.
III. Delivery and Prices
1. Delivery shall be made “exw Affalterbach”.
2. Partial deliveries are permitted, insofar as the Buyer can be reasonably
expected to accept them.
3. The Seller does not accept a no-fault procurement risk for the objects of
sale.
4. In cases where any objects of sale cannot be delivered on the
scheduled delivery date due to the discontinuation of series production,
both parties shall be released from the obligations under the contract of
sale insofar as these objects of sale are concerned. In such a case the
Seller shall inform the Buyer without delay and reimburse any counterperformance
received without delay. In such a case, the Seller shall not be
obliged either to deliver the originally ordered objects of sale or to pay
damages.
5. The purchase price comprises the export list price valid on the delivery
date plus any value-added tax applicable on the delivery date.
IV. Payment, Delay in Payment and Offsetting
1. The purchase price and prices for incidental services shall be payable
less any agreed discounts upon delivery of the objects of sale and
submission of the invoice or other means of rendering account.
2. Payment must be made in the currency specified on the invoice and in
such a way that the Seller does not incur any costs.
3. Should the Buyer default on payment, including with respect to
individual invoices, the Seller shall be entitled to demand payment in
advance for the consignments in transit and subsequent deliveries from all
ongoing contracts.
4. The Buyer may offset claims of the Seller only if the Buyer’s
counterclaim is uncontested or has been confirmed by a non-appealable
court decision. A right of retention may only be exercised insofar as it
relates to claims arising from the contract of sale.
V. Delivery Time, Delay in Delivery and Force Majeure
1. Delivery dates and delivery periods which may be agreed as either
binding or non-binding are to be stated in writing or by electronic mail.
Delivery periods shall commence upon conclusion of the contract.
2. The Buyer may demand delivery six weeks after a non-binding delivery
date or a non-binding delivery period has been exceeded. The Seller is in
delay from the time that it receives this demand. If the Buyer wishes to
withdraw from the contract and/or claim damages in lieu of performance,
it must set for the Seller a reasonable period within which to effect
delivery after the end of the six-week period pursuant to Sentence 1. The
Buyer shall not be entitled to seek damages in the event of slight
negligence on the part of the Seller.
If performance becomes impossible for the Seller by coincidence while it is
in delay, the Seller shall be liable within the scope of the limitations on
liability agreed above. The Seller shall not be liable if the damage would
have been incurred even if delivery had been made on time.
3. If a binding delivery date or binding delivery period is exceeded, the
Seller is in delay as soon as the delivery date or delivery period is
exceeded. The rights of the Buyer shall then be determined by clause 2
sentences 3 to 7 of this section.
4. In the event that the Seller is temporarily prevented from delivering at
the agreed time or within the agreed period through no fault of its own,
due to force majeure or operational disruptions occurring at the Seller’s or
its suppliers’, the dates and periods referred to in clauses 1 to 3 shall be
extended by the duration of the impairment of performance. The same
shall apply if not all permits have been granted or not all documents,
payments, securities, transport containers and means of transport to be
provided by the Buyer have been received by the Seller on time. If
disruptions pursuant to sentence 1 result in performance being postponed
by more than four months, both Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to
withdraw from the contract. This shall not prejudice other rights to
withdraw from the contract.
VI. Acceptance and Delay of the Buyer
1. The Buyer is obliged to accept the objects of sale without delay from
the date upon which delivery was agreed, unless the Seller is in delay of
delivery.
2. Should the Buyer fail to accept the objects of sale, the Seller may
exercise its statutory rights. The same applies if the Seller is unable to
deliver because the Buyer has failed to supply the permits, documentation,
payments, securities, transport containers or means of transport which it
is required to provide or it does not assume transportation for which it is
responsible. In the event of non-acceptance, the Seller is also entitled to
send the objects of sale to the Buyer at the latter’s expense and risk.
3. Should the Seller seek damages, such damages shall amount to 15 % of
the agreed purchase price. This amount may be increased if the Seller is
able to prove greater damage, or reduced if the Buyer can prove that the
damage was lower or that no damage was incurred at all.
VII. Reservation of Title
1. The objects of sale shall remain the property of the Seller until such
time as the claims accruing to the Seller by virtue of the contract of sale
have been settled. The reservation of title also applies to claims acquired
by the Seller against the Buyer arising from the ongoing business
relationship until such time as the claims of the Seller in connection with
the sale have been settled.
2. Any processing or modification of the reserved-title goods by the Buyer
or a third party or the combination of such goods with other goods shall be
for the Seller. The Seller shall acquire co-ownership of the newly created
products which are deemed to be reserved-title goods within the meaning
of this Section VII, such that its share of the new products corresponds to
the value of the objects of sale.
3. The Seller consents to the resale by the Buyer of the goods in which
title is reserved within the scope of its ordinary course of business; such
consent being revocable and subject to the provisions of clause 8. The
Buyer may not pledge the reserved-title goods or assign them by way of
security. To secure all claims arising from the ongoing business
relationship, the Buyer assigns to the Seller its claims from the resale of
the reserved-title goods in the amount of the Seller’s claim to the
purchase price.
Until its authorization is revoked, the Buyer is entitled and obliged to
collect the debts assigned to the Seller. Should the Buyer suspend
payments generally, this collection authorization shall end without the
need for explicit revocation.
4. At the request of the Buyer, the Seller shall release the security
provided in accordance with the foregoing provisions – at its discretion –
02/13 Seite 2 von 3
insofar as the realizable value of this security exceeds the claims to be
secured arising from the ongoing business relationship by 20 %.
5. The Buyer is obliged to carefully look after the reserved-title goods for
the Seller, to keep them in perfect technical condition and to have any
necessary repairs carried out without delay. The reserved-title goods are
to be serviced and repaired in workshops expressly approved by the
manufacturer for the servicing of the objects of sale, except in cases of
emergency.
6. As long as reservation of title remains in force, the Buyer shall be
required at the demand of the Seller to insure the reserved-title goods with
all-risk cover at their value as new or in the amount of the outstanding
claim, with the proviso that the rights arising from the insurance accrue to
the Seller. The Seller shall be entitled to demand the insurance certificate.
7. In the event of attachment or of other impediments to the owner’s
interests, the Buyer shall inform the Seller without delay.
8. Should the Buyer fail to meet its payment and insurance obligations or
other obligations arising from the reservation of title including the
assignment of debts, or suspend payments in general or should insolvency
proceedings be instituted in respect of its assets or, as a result of the
conduct of the Buyer, notification from the insurer provided for in the
insurance certificate is sent to the Seller, the full outstanding balance shall
fall due immediately, even if bills of exchange with later maturity dates are
running, and any right of the Buyer to dispose of the reserved-title goods
pursuant to clause 3 shall lapse. If the full outstanding balance is not paid
immediately, the right of the Buyer to use the reserved-title goods shall
lapse. The Seller shall be entitled after the expiration of a 14-day period of
grace granted by it, or, in the event of the Buyer suspending payments in
general or insolvency proceedings being instituted, immediately, to
demand the restitution of the reserved-title goods excluding any right of
retention and to collect them from the Buyer. Such action shall not require
cancellation of the contract; the demand for restitution and collection of
the goods in which title is reserved shall not constitute a withdrawal from
the contract.
The repossession by the Seller of reserved-title goods in which third
parties have co-ownership rights shall also constitute repossession for the
co-owners.
The Buyer shall be liable for all costs incurred in connection with the
repossession and realization of the value of the reserved-title goods.
Notwithstanding the payment obligation of the Buyer, the Seller is entitled
– where applicable by agreement with the co-owners – to realize the value
of the repossessed reserved-title goods and accessories at the best price
through sale on the open market or by public auction. The proceeds after
deduction of costs will, insofar as they are not owed to the Seller or a third
party to cover existing claims, be paid to the Buyer.
9. If the country in whose territory the objects of sale are located does not
permit reservation of title, but does permit the Seller to reserve other
rights to the objects of sale, the Seller may exercise all such rights. The
Buyer is obliged to take at its own expense all steps which are necessary
to permit the reservation of title or other substitute right over the objects
of sale to take effect and to be maintained.
VIII. Installation
Any installation of the objects of sale undertaken by the Buyer shall be on
the Buyer’s own responsibility. The Buyer must ensure compliance with the
installation instructions and guidelines for storage of the objects of sale.
IX. Defects
1. With respect to claims of the Buyer on grounds of defects in parts,
components or accessories intended to be installed in passenger cars or
the G-Class, the following shall apply, irrespective of the type of
registration:
1.1 If the end purchaser is a public authority, a publicly-owned legal entity,
or a business person who, in concluding the contract, is acting in a
commercial or independent professional capacity, and if the Buyer and
every re-seller of the object of sale carry out their activities within the
European Economic Area (‘EEAʼ), and if the object of sale is intended for
sale to an end purchaser within the EEA, a prescription period of two years
from the date of delivery of the object of sale shall apply.
Sentence 1 shall also apply if the Buyer and every re-seller carry out their
activities in Albania, Armenia, Andorra, Azerbaijan, Australia, Belarus,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, China, Croatia, Georgia, Hongkong,
India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Malaysia, Moldova,
Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, South
Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vatican
City or Vietnam, and the object of sale is intended for sale to an end
purchaser in the country in which the Buyer carries out its activities.
1.2 If the Buyer or a re-seller does not carry out its business activities
within the European Union or one of the countries named in sentence 2
of subclause 1.1, or if the object of sale is not intended for sale to an end
purchaser in the country outside of the European Union in which the Buyer
carries out its business activities, then a prescription period of one year
from the date of delivery of the object of sale shall apply.
1.3 If the end purchaser is a consumer, statutory provisions shall apply.
2. With respect to claims of the Buyer on grounds of defects in parts,
components and accessories, the following shall apply:
2.1 If the end purchaser is a public authority, a publicly-owned legal entity,
or a business person who, in concluding the contract, is acting in a
commercial or independent professional capacity, then a prescription
period of one year from the date of delivery of the object of sale shall
apply.
2.2 If the end purchaser is a consumer, statutory provisions shall apply.
3. In the event of malicious non-disclosure of defects or of a guarantee
given for quality, claims over and above those set forth in clauses 1 to 2
remain unaffected.
4. The end purchaser may assert its claims for rectification of defects
against the party which sold the object of sale concerned to it or against
other workshops approved by the manufacturer for the servicing of the
objects of sale. The Buyer must notify the Seller in each event as soon as
it becomes aware of such claims being asserted. The Buyer shall have no
recourse against the Seller with respect to claims for subsequent
performance and withdrawal from the contract. Instead, the Seller shall
reimburse the Buyer with respect to the costs necessitated by subsequent
performance or the damage incurred through exclusion of the right of
withdrawal, less any expenses saved and income received in connection
with any other use of or benefit obtained from the object of sale
concerned.
5. Replaced objects of sale or parts thereof shall be kept for the purpose
of inspection by the Seller at a place specified by the Seller, and returned
to it upon its request. Should the claims for defects prove to be justified,
such parts shall become the property of the Seller and the Seller shall bear
the costs of their return.
6. Claims for defects relating to the parts used to remedy defects may be
asserted on the basis of the contract of sale until the end of the limitation
period for the object of sale concerned.
7. A change in ownership of the objects of sale will not affect claims for
the rectification of defects.
X. Liability
1. If the Seller is to be held responsible under the statutory provisions in
accordance with these terms and conditions for damage caused by slight
negligence, the liability of the Seller shall be limited as follows:
The Seller shall be liable only for the breach of obligations essential to the
contract such as those which the contract of sale specifically seeks to
impose upon the Seller, as evidenced by its content and purpose, or
without which the due and proper performance of the contract of sale
would not be possible and upon whose compliance the Buyer relies and
ought to be able to rely. Liability shall be limited to the typical damage
which is foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded. Insofar as
the damage is covered by insurance taken out by the Buyer for the
respective damaging event (excluding fixed-sum insurance), the Seller
shall only be liable for any associated disadvantage suffered by the Buyer
e. g. increased insurance premiums or the cost of interest until such time
as the claim is settled by the insurer. The Seller shall not be held liable for
damage caused by slight negligence through a defect in an object of sale.
2. Regardless of the issue of fault, this shall not prejudice the liability of
the Seller in the event of malicious non-disclosure of a defect, or if the
Seller has provided a guarantee or accepted a procurement risk or under
the terms of the German Product Liability Act.
3. Liability in the event of delay in delivery is governed conclusively by the
provisions of Section V.
4. The legal representatives, vicarious agents and employees of the Seller
shall bear no personal liability for damage caused by slight negligence on
their part. For loss other than that caused by the gross negligence of
statutory representatives or senior managers, the limitations on liability
applicable to the Seller in this respect shall apply mutatis mutandis.
5. The limitations of liability set forth in this clause do not however apply in
the event of death or personal injury.
XI. General
1. The place of performance for the delivery of the objects of sale shall be
the Seller´s registered office.
2. Should any provision of these terms and conditions and of the other
agreements made be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of
the contract in any other respect. The parties to the contract undertake to
replace the invalid provision with a provision that accords most closely in
terms of its commercial effects.
3. The courts of Affalterbach shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all
present and future claims arising from the business relationship between
02/13 Seite 3 von 3
the Seller and the Buyer, including claims based on bills of exchange or
checks. The Seller is also entitled to sue at the domicile of the Buyer.
4. The contract is governed by German law. INCOTERMS 2010 shall apply.
The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods dated
April 11, 1980 shall not apply.

Greekspec - thanks for the info! Been looking for some of this stuff for quite some time. Just cut a deal on a Kleemann blower so it may be awhile until I heal up enough to afford everything I want. But when the time comes I know where to look! Thanks again.

Quick follow up - rear sway bar. Got any pics and prices? Wondering if it's the double hump like the 63BS? Cheers -
