Hows it going all? New to the board and was just looking for some advice. I own a 2002 CLK55 AMG with just over 120K mi and stock everything. I purchased the car 3 years ago and Ive got to say this is the best car I have ever owned. I get compliments on it every other day from random people and every day I drive around, I see heads turning. So back to the topic...I was wanting to upgrade the exhaust and was just curious on what I should do. I would like a little deeper, more aggressive sounding exhaust but have no idea what to go with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I would start with headers- long tubes which also remove the primary cats. Then if you want more look at deleting resonators.

 

Eisenmann Race is where it's at.

 

The best "bang for buck" mod is a muffler or a resonator delete. The muffler delete would be noticeably louder than a resonator delete, but either one should give you what you're looking for. Shouldn't be more than $50 at a good shop.

 

Would that be the same thing as going with straight pipes? I thought I heard straight pipes would cause the computer to bring up an error messege on the dash.

 

You'll only run into errors if you delete the cats. That being said I would try to find an Eisenmann race exhaust. Or a resonator delete, or both!
