Mufflers/Exhaust/Chips
I'm thinking about having new mufflers installed on my GLK 350 and want something a little more "Throaty" without being obnoxious. I saw one set on Youtube, can't remember the name but they sounded pretty loud. Any suggestions out there? Also was wondering if anyone has installed a chip. Gforce makes some pretty high claims about MPG and Horsepower. Thank You, Jerry in Calif

No offense but it is a luxury SUV not a ricer. As far as the chip goes is your warranty up? If not and you put the chip in it will be gone then.

I don't know what century you are from but your jerk buddy owns a tuner shop that is NISMO oriented & the ///M & AMG departments of the 2 big German brands are all considered 'tuners' which in & of itself are mechanical, aero & CPU related.
& most don't consider that ricing things up.
So if you step off your very limited notions & go to the other boards of this forum, you'd see modifications are done for more than aesthetics.
ps - I've seen just as many people around the net consider the GLK - NOT Luxury.

That's a little harsh, and certainly uncalled for.
Having a bad day..?

No -I just don't get people who get off commenting about what others do to their vehicles with a certain myopic judgmental their size fit all tone.
Are we North Korean?

Yes, there are many here from Korea, China, even Vietnam, not just the USA. It appears that you rather continue to insult others from these nations and even those from the USA rather than contribute anything to the forum. I find most Virginians to be rather vulgar lately.
Guess it takes one to know one.
Please tell me when I became a xenophobe cause apparently you make it up as much as your holier than thou - I own a NISMO 'ricer' shop ergo I know all mandates around here.
& on top of failing to get the analogy to North Korea & 'one-ness' thought control - it just reinforces my belief that you are well - your royal nothing-ness.

BTW.. There was no need to be rude to MKenM and rmfnla, and then expressing your immaturity by mentioning me in your #3 post above for no reason. I wasn't even a part of this discussion until you made it so.

When does the real skills come out - or lack there-off.
When you can handle karusselle @ SP or even a novice track day @ VIR in a miata, I'll believe it.
Grow up. You bragging using a car that had more electronic help is borderline video PS3.
Seriously - there is a lot different between me & you.
But being humble & modest isn't your strong point.
Quantifying it further for you would make you cry.

Chipping is whole another ball-game, and owner specific. We use these guys for certain clients.

Wow - you mean with your entirely electronically aided GTR?

As you have done in the past you get carried away with yourself. Jerry asked a question I gave him my opinion. If you don't like you are entitled to yours but to start up the way you do just proves that you are a feeble minded idiot who has no sense of decency.
If you think for one moment that a chipped GLK brought into a MB dealer with a warranty issue affected by that mod will be overlooked and taken care of at no charge you are that idiot.
When MB turns a vehicle over to AMG to modify it and put the AMG badge on it, it is done with MB's blessing. They are not some third party shop. Is there anyone else out there that will warranty a chip mod? And don't tell me Brabus.
I am very familiar with mods and owners are free to do as they please. Sorry that I was pointing out the obvious to Jerry. Still JMO.
As far as the exhaust is concerned I still think if he makes the mod it will sound like a "Ricer". Although the connotation may make it sound like I am making reference to an Asian brand car that is not the case. It refers to any car that sound like it is far$ing. The fact that the aftermarket folks cater to the Asian brands is not my doing. Although an idiot might think so.
And yes MBRedux is a friend but you wouldn't know what that is. Is there something wrong with a NISMO. I shouldn't ask a banker about cars he only knows how to rip people off with their exorbitant rates.
Next time stick to the thread rather than being an idiot. Did I say idiot.
I am truly sorry I did not mean to call you an IDIOT!

I'm not the xenophobe like you bringing out the 20th century colloquialism.
Nor did I take your tone as anything but an a-hole with a mouth.
tell me where you say 'IMO' in post #2 penny?
Yet again the net brings out all the ole toughies...ooops did I mentioned you are past your expiration date & you drive a cute-ute penny just like the rest of us mortals.

I've done the same. Your crudeness is not acceptable here.
