W463 G500/G550 4x4 Exhaust Options

Hi guys need help finding an exhaust for a 4x4 - I want a valvetronic type of system.

Most of what I find is made for the either for the W463 G63 with the M157, W463A/W464 G550/G63 with the M177. Would any of these options work, even though the exhaust options for the W463A/W464 G550/G63 versions require you to re-use OEM valve actuator, which the older gen W463 G500/G550 doesn't have.

I was also thinking of just getting an exhaust cutoff installed, but don't want to ruin the OEM exhaust in case I ever sell.

I am just amazed how expensive these systems are - makes me want to just get the Alibaba replica versions

I found these options but they aren't valvetronic:

I found these valvetronic options:

https://gthaus.com/product/mercedes-...0-amg4x4-2016/ (I don't understand the price difference between the one listed specifically for the 4x4 and the non-4x4 which is $3,998.00)

https://www.gwagenparts.com/product/...500-g550-4x4²/

I also found these replica exhaust options:

One other to consider is Fi-Exhaust.

I've installed many of their systems on G Wagons over the years, and the quality is top notch. I just did one on a G63 Squared and it sounds great. They make an app based remote you can use, and also a key fob style remote.

Beautiful build bro! What wheels are those? Do you remember the specs?

Which vendor did you order from?

I want to order direct from the manufacture because I've had some issues with some vendors in the past not fulfilling the order, or pricing it higher than MSRP pricing.

Thank you. The wheels are from 1886. Size is 24x11.

I'll shoot you a PM for the wheels and exhaust.
