Here's one with just secondary cat removed. I like it! Otherwise I like the Eisenmann race but no idea if still available.

o2 sensors are right after the primary cats, you are good to remove secondaries

2004 clk55 amg
Hello. I have an eissman dual muffler quad tip setup that i would like to trade for a stock dual muffler quad tip amg exhaust from 2005 clk55 amg or other identical amg mufflers (2005) is the only year I am sure of but 2006 and others will probably work. I can provide pics and sound clip if anybody is interested.


Note: I found a set of semi local amg stock muffs I am going to give a try and see how she growls. Thanks for the responses.

None for now
Check out my quad exhaust setup/thread in my sig (videos are there too). I think that removing the muffler is a must. It's so restrictive. I have all cats in place BTW.

I thought I have read a couple places that there is not any significant power increase with the exhaust over the AMG mufflers. Do you believe in terms of hp and torque the AMG mufflers perform as well as the eissenmans? I understand they sound killer, me and my license seem to do better when we make less noise is the only reason I am changing over to amg.
Thanks for any help on this.

True specially if your midpipes are stock not much back flow is added

And I agree with the unwanted attention that's why I kept mine looking stock and still managed to get my license suspended a few times and the occasional "do you know why I pulled you over"
