Is the silencer inside the mufflers? Did you take pics while they were doing?

You also should replace the stock crosspipe in the middle with x-pipe and 3" pipe between the cats and mufflers that what i did mine and sounds great. I'm thinking to have mufflers opened to see what I can remove but can't find the shop who will do it yet. We have mercedes meet at RAM located in Schaumburg at 3:00 today. Check it out. Are you locally in Chicago area?

I dropped the car off in the morning and went to work so didn't have the time to see how they did it. I'll keep those mods in mind but I think I'm done modding for the moment. My wife was like "it sounds louder" I just smirked. I'm in California, it'd be cool to find a mercedes meet that is local.

These BBS wheels have a polished lip on the outer edge. I painted the lip with the same paint I used on the brake calipers.

Not quite sure how this works. I think I have attached photos of my 230 and my 140. I'm going to hit submit and see what happens. well that seemed to work quite well the 140 is a 92 and my 230 is an 03. Mostly stock with the exception of sirius and mp3 players. In both cases I kept the OEM radio. 140 has a MP3 player that uses the tape deck adapter and the 230 is using the aux input and sirius in the glove box.

OEM MB parts from 2012 S550 for 2 chrome plastic holders, 2 LED bulbs and 2 sockets
plus resourcefulness of my body shop guy to make 4 custom grills.
(They ran out of time yesterday so today I have to go in for installing of two error
cancelling parts (resistors?) in order to get rid of the error message at the dash board).
