Exhuast + Muffler

Has anyone replaced Exhaust and/or muffler on 320? I am looking for a bit gruntier sounds. Any recommendations? Something easy to reverse would be good.
Pix, price, and location of purchase/install (CA) would be much appreciated.

Thank

Easy to Reverse

I am not sure there is and "easy to reverse" solution out there. AMG and Brabus exhaust systems both require cutting the exisiting pipes. I installed the Brabus exhaust system on my E500. It comes with sleeves that allow it to be installed on the slightly smaller diameter E320 exhaust pipes. I originally installed the Brabus system on my first non-Navi E500. When I knew I was getting a replaecment E500, I purchased a complete new stock E500 exhaust system (from center resonator back) and installed this on my non-Navi E500. When my replacement car came in, I took of the stock exhasut system off and re-installed the exhaust system Brabus mufflers (again from the center resonator back). I have the original complete stock exhaust system stored in case whomever buys my car from down the rode would rather have the stock mufflers.

So?

So how does it sounds?
How much did it cost you and where did you get it done?
Was there any performance chnage noticeable?

The Brabus exhaust sounds good to me.
Cost was $1,980 plus $20 shipping to Ventura.
Installed it myself. Used a SawzAll to cut the pipes with the car up on ramps from Pep Boys.
No performance change obviously apparent.

The stock M-B exhaust cost $1,111.12 including sales tax.
