BRABUS Exhaust installed on Mercedes GL
Thanks Rob, for selling the Brabus exhaust to me....my wife wanted a meaner sound, and there aren't too many options for an exhaust for the GL, so picked up the Brabus. It has a low growl and is pretty conservative compared to my Eisenmann Race exhaust on my M5, but definitely sounds nice.
I may consider X pipes....depends on what the wife wants![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)

Pretty much, although the stock section 3 pipes had to be cut, and the Brabus exhaust then slides over and then clamped....took about 30 min. for shop to install.
On a side note, after driving the car for a day, both my wife and I would say that the exhaust is pretty conservative....I'll be looking into X pipes to remove the resonators...anyone know who makes them for the GL?

I'd bet you're going to have to go custom, but that shouldn't be a problem for most exhaust shops. And sweet pics / vids; thanks for posting them!

In any case, if it is done custom, it would just be a matter of cutting resonators out and straight piping it....wife is having second thoughts and may just stick with the low growl.

Hardly! It is number 3 on the most cars driven by men list. Just below the Maybach and Hummer H1:
