I was facing a decision problem... i like to buy an exhaust system for my e500 but dont know which one.. so far i have narrow it to two choices one is brabus which is pretty expensive and the second one is remus. so which one do you guys think that i should go for it and why? pliz your reply will be helpful for me to choose which one should i buy

I would personally go with KLEEMANN because of their quality of business and because I think they have the best sounding exhaust on the market.

As far as between your two I would go with Remus. The exhaust system sounds good looks good and performs better than Brabus.

how much for kleeman? do you know their price ranges?

E500Lorinser

I'll let you know how the Lorinser sounds and performs when I get the car, but you can't go wrong with the Brabus or Remus.AMG makes an excellent exhaust for the 55,look into that also,its so good I think renntech keeps it stock on the new e55(someone posted this in another thread).I believe the Brabus has a very nice throaty sound,and the Lorinser Im told also is low and throaty without being overdone.

remus

crazy4cars... is that the only model that fits in E500? or there more models that fit? when i look at their sites.. they have a lot of quadruple exhaust system.

Brabus is definitely better for a reason. The build quality is much better and the sound of any Brabus exhaust is quite different from others. It will not give you a very "loud" sound, but rather, a deep roaring sound. Remus quality is not as good as others like Brabus, Eisenmann or AMG.

But if you are looking for loud sound, Remus will be the choice. If you want deep subtle roaring sound, Brabus is the answer. Yes, AMG is not a bad choice either, but it will not be as loud as others.

Brandon @ Kleemann

REMUS, BRABUS and LORINSER Take all three of these mufflers side by side- the coating, welds, hangers, flanges, flares and even the clamps are identical. No one even bothers to change the FONT of the part number stickers or mounting instructions.

KLEEMANN ex system is designed for use with our rear spoiler, without the spoiler the extension of the tips is not correct. Our sound is of the "subtle roaring" nature. If its not loud enough for you, remove the resonator.

KLEEMANN is that the exhaust itself of the exhaust tips? How much does it cost?

Brandon @ Kleemann

Twin rear mufflers with tips, from the resonator back. The set is $2065.

harris i know brabus is the best i think for my car because i used monoblock vi.. but i don't have the budget to buy the exhaust, it's too expensive. If you said that remus is not that bad then i will got with remus. thx

...or the below for $1,500 less, and I'll guarantee it sounds and runs as good as any other system out there. If you are caught up in the brand name game (Remus, Brabus, Kleeman, etc.) then spend the $2,000++ and get the "brand". They are all good exhaust solutions, just don't be fooled that they are any better just because they have a popular brand stamped on them and cost hundreds/thousands more. I've done exhaust on many cars before, and yes, some do require a very customized solution that must be specially fabricated, and therefore substantiate a premium. But in the case of the E500, it is absolutely one of the easiest fits/installs you will ever find. As for performance differences between brands, bottom line there is very little on this car/engine. In terms of quality, I went with Mangaflow, who by the way is the largest manufacturer of exhausts, AND produces/sells to many of the other brands who then just stamp there name on them and re-sell...

while we're on the exhaust topic.. i'm looking for exhaust for e320. is it less expensive than the one for e500? i'm interested in the kleemann exhaust as well, how much is it? does it add power?

thinking about supercharger from kleemann, too.. KLEEMANN, can you tell me how much is it for e320?

thanks in advance,
gary

sf49ers79

I think its gonna be the same price for e320..

rims brabus.... exhaust brabus.... spend a little more on it, you wont regret it. brabus has a beautiful sound. remus sounds wierd, it sounds like a ticking noise when you accelerate.

suhochunsah

Just personal taste, but I think for looks, Lorinser exhaust with matching rear bumper looks the best...
I went into the dealer few days ago and they had an E500 with full Lorinser Kit and exhaust.. and i revved it... wasn't loud.. but I wouldn't want a loud sound driving an E-class anyways..
I think the rear bumper + exhaust looks absolutely beautiful...
I'd love to buy it when I get my car delivered... but I'm also worried about the price.. heh

sf49ers79

Ok thx for all your opinion but i think i will go with brabus exhaust eventhough it's expensive. I'll try to save money to buy this exhaust. thx one more time for all the opinion

I'm bringing my car to Brabus (Irvine CA) tomorrow morning to get their exhaust.

Looking forward to my drive home tomorrow.

:p

CarlssonCRS

u looking to get ripped off too???

MBZ4LIFE

How much did you pay for your Carlsson 4-pipe exhaust? The Brabus is about 1k. Not sure how it looks with the stock bumper yet. I'm hoping I don't need to switch to the brabus bumper.

Where did you get your mods from?
