CLS400 - dual muffler delete w/ pix!

Just the sound I was looking for. Solid low end <3K RPM grunt/rumble but not intrusive at highway cruising speeds. I'm coming from a Lexus LS460 whisper quiet 8 cylinder.

If in the bay area, go to Andy at Classic Muffler in San Jose. Awesome work!

What did he charge if you don't mind me asking? In San Jose and considering the same thing.

Sure. $200, and it took ~40 minutes total.

Are the new pipes stainless?

Looks like he used a typical crush bender, which reduces the pipe diameter at the bend. Mandrel bending, like the factory uses, would have been better but at this performance level it's unlikely one would notice a difference.

Good question - Andy said these will not rust, but I did not ask if it's aluminum or steel. Also, I was more after the grumble and not concerned about performance.
