Want to let everyone know that my cousin has a 2007 s class amg and we just installed the 2010-2012 diffuser with trapezoid tips, so all you need is diffuser and tips no need to change rear bumper

08 S550 4Matic AMG Package
post some links to how you found the parts and everything that is needed for the install. And you will need that "part 11" they are referring to that is body colored that sits under the diffuser right right?
In addition to the rear exhaust mod, has anyone gone with the front bumper mod. I have seen plenty of the 08 AMG led running light version that have the "rectangle" running light that sits directly under the body, but i am referring to the look with the non-amg i think 10+ style that has the running light led "streak" that runs across in the middle of the old fog light design. Who has pictures and information on this mod? the standard more modern style rather than the amg style ..........????

2007 s550
I also would like to know this. I have read numerous threads and have seen conflicting stories. one person said yes it fits without any mods and another person said the rear 2012 s65 diffuser was an inch too wide to fit on a 2007 s550 with amg bumpers. so the question is this. CAN ANYBODY IN THE USA CONFIRM OR DENY THAT THE REAR BUMPER DIFFUSER FROM A 2012 S65 WILL FIT ON A 2007 S550 WITH ANY MODS AT ALL? anyone with first hand experience would be super helpful and also both part numbers from the 2012 s65 rear diffuser would be icing on the cake. thanks in advance.

ONLY 2007 S550 with AMG/sport package uses the same rear bumper as S63/S65 AMG.
If you have this you should see 2 stainless exhaust tips on your car with a black lower surrounding that can be replaced with the double wide opening for AMG Exhaust. The non-sport package/AMG version don't even have cutouts in the bumper for the exhaust tips. You need a complete Sport package or AMG bumper in that case.

I also have a 2010 S550 with the AMG sport package. I would like to do the S63/65 rear Diffuser/body color center with squared AMG style tips. Did anyone come up with part#'s and a source... Surprised no one offers a retro kit.

I just did the diffuser on my 2010 from base to S63/65. It required two pieces, a lower panel (what everyone refers to as the diffuser) and then a body colored finish panel that goes into the center. The diffuser and finish panel both snap into the bumper with plastic tabs, no tools required. Both parts were around $230. I also installed an aftermarket muffler and quad tip set up, but if you wanted to leave the stock mufflers and just do the square tips, those are on Ebay for around $285 (replicas).
I believe it's the same process on a 2007 but you'd want the lower panel and center panel for the 07-09. I used the EPC and a VIN from a 2010 S63 to verify the diffuser part numbers. I'll run an 07 S65 and post those part numbers.
The lower panel (the piece in the lower bumper with the exhaust cut outs) is available from Rock Auto for $109, their part # is MB1115101. The center filler is MB2218853225.
Should be a snap on part on a car that already has an AMG appearance package rear bumper. Just note that on the 2010, the exhaust tips aren't actually attached to the tail pipes. They attach to the rear bumper and the pipes sort of float inside. As a result, when you remove the tips, you're still left with the brackets, which have to be cut back so they don't peek out of the larger openings in the new diffuser.
The new tips (if you're just doing the cosmetic part) will need to be welded to the existing tailpipes.
Also, the diffuser has two mounting tabs on the bottom that secure the lower edge to the bumper. The new diffuser's tabs will not line up with the bumper's receiving slots. It took a little extra work to secure the lower edge.

That's the original bumper with just the lower panel (diffuser) swapped out plus the required center filler panel.

Here's the thread that got me started, with pics and a sound clip of the Becker kit. Mine has the same tone but volume is about half since I added two extra resonators.

The Becker kit comes with tips already welded on. Otherwise if you're adding cosmetic tips to the OEM exhaust it would be a Y. Look under your car and see how many tailpipes your have coming out of each muffler. I prefer to answer questions in the thread vs PM so other members have access to the info and it's searchable.
