Chrome exhaust tip add-on for ML320?

What do you guys think about this after-market add-on? An Internet after-market website sells it.

It looks cool. But I'm a little worried that it's one extra thing that can eventually make rattling noises or other problem to think about.

I poked around the exhaust pipe and it does have a little give. The chrome exhaust tip is kind of heavy, 5 pounds or so, so I'm a little concerned about that add-on.

Anybody have any experience with this?

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
alot of people do them... i think you should NOT. its just a knock of tip...has no functionality and looks like a fake. if you want an exhaust get the real thing.

Thanks for your input. I wasn't sure which way to go with this.

Yeah...I've purchased a chrome tip before thru Performance Products, it's now a decorative piece in the garage shelve. I suggest to go with a full exhaust; Brabus, Lorinser, Renntech.

www.brabus-usa.com

www.renntechmercedes.com

www.cecwheels.com

just a little info... renntech doesnt sell just exhausts, you have to buy other performance parts..ie. motor upgrades. i have the brabus and think its great. cecwheels has a little bit of every high end tuner including lorinser. feel free to ask any other questions.
