Everything will work.

You can use your existing foam reinforcement too if your new bumper doesn't have it. Post pics when you complete the upgrade. ONly thing you 'll need are the fender liner inserts to cover the gap.

I have 2008 4matic s550 and would love do do what you have done. If I may ask what did the exhaust cost you?

Installing OEM S65 or S63 exhaust, would it void the warranty on 2008 S550?

Is the rear diffuser 1 or 2 piece, can you post the part number

Thanks

bensitto

Sorry, been extremely busy lately...

Exhaust is about $1600 per side OEM S65 AMG.
The rear diffuser is 2 piece. I used a VIN from a 07-09 S65 on Autotrader for the parts department to verify correct part. Mine are installed so I can't access the numbers anymore. Can't remember the pricing on the diffuser pieces but they are pricey for being so small.

Good luck!

604benz

Thanks for the reply, yeah i've been using a vin# from an 07 S65 on ebay.
Dealer quoted me $330 + $185 for the 2 pieces.

bensitto

Sounds about right.

Post photos of your upgrades when you get them installed!

604benz

Will do thanks

So does anyone know the difference with the s65 and s63 exhaust sound?

604benz

Hey Bensitto i got my S65 mufflers installed and they look and sound great on start up and accelleration, but i get a drone humming sound sometimes when cruising.
Do you experience this, someone told me to add an xpipe?

Anabolik

604benz, Sounds great, i am going to have same soon. Can you post a video ?

SSM

you guys excite me i am waiting for those videos and thanks for sharing

That's why im afraid to touch stock mufflers. last time i did (CLK500) i was getting headaches from drone. I would love to free up the exhaust but don't want to have it drone like crazy.

bensitto

Yes, I had to keep in the stock resonators, it was way too loud using the entire 3" pipe all the way up. It sounds perfect now.

carlosfernandez

Still waiting for the videos !!!

Well, loudness and drone are a little different. the exhaust wasnt that loud, but the low tone just too strong on the ears even though it wasnt loud at all.
Its like when you can feel someones 18 inch subs two blocks away, it not loud but your ears are not happy

resonator changes the frequency of the sound that exhaust caries from the engine and helps in removing sound and drone at the same time. the problem is it slows down the exhaust flow a little. but you have to sacrifice somewhere

I have been wanting to change to the quad exhaust look without altering the exhaust system but from my knowledge the issue is the rear diffuser. I have 2008 with the dual exhaust so my diffuser appears that it would have to be cut to sit the quad tips OR purchase the whole rear bumper conversion like in various posts. I can't really tell from the pics but its looks like your S doesn't have the whole rear bumper kit and just a modified rear diffuser to accompany the quad tips. Are my eyes deceiving me or is that actually the whole bumper conversion??? If i can just purchase quad tips and a new diffuser cut to fit the tips without a whole s63 s65 body conversion kit it would be more cost effective for the look i want to achieve.

And i also think it'll look kinda weird to just buy a rear bumper cover conversion for the sole reason of quad tips and then don't change the side skirts and front cover too. My car would look stupid to real MB enthusiasts.

I ran a single wide rolled tip on my S65 facelift rear bumper. I couldn't find any amg tips at the time
