Mark, car looks good. I saw a red 500SL (black interior) in town near my school recently. I am wondering, how much was that exhaust system? PM if you don't want to post publicly how much you spent.

Thanks.

i did it in sections, i wanted to totally customize the way it sounded, i did not want to go through; borla, lor. brab. eissmen (sp?). so here is an estimate on how much the current setup cost me

muffler-200, install-50
cats- 800 installed
tips 50 installed

it is so loud. i love it!
all of these old guys come up to me and say "haha, mine dont' sound like that" and laugh. its awsome!

and i need to find out how to put a sound clip on here?? how do i?

to be honnest, i would do custome, its usually cheeper and you can make it yours. because, think about this, if you had the money to spend 220K on a car, would you want it to be very very loud? chances are no, because it would most likely be some old guy who is driving it. unless you dont like it to loud.

Benefit of AMG muffer is that it will be a direct bolt on, very quick job at the shop. But, they are rare and costly, so maybe a custom job is the optimal solution. Unless I find one lying around somewhere, I'll probably get a custom setup.

Thanks for the help bro.
