What are the exhaust options for the SL600?

Which tuners out there have exausts (preferrably quad tip style) for the SL600?

From speaking to a couple of tuners, they mentioned that though the SL55 exhaust would fit, it is not a good idea, as it will cause backpressure and also make the car more quiet.

I am prepared to do some minor bodywork to accomodate larger tips, however what are my exhaust options?

Anyone can point me in the right direction, and/or give me some suggestions.

Thanks.
Shank

Frozen, yes I did. DIdn't last a week.

SL600 is being renntech'd as we speak. Just short on an exhaust system.

I've known eisenmann (www.eisenhaus.com) to make very nice exhaust. If you wait, I'm sure they'll come out with one, as they already have applications for other 600 engines.
Maybe you should even call and ask if you could be a tester?

SL600: exhaust tip switch?

Is there a reasonably easy way to change out the SL600's dual exhaust tips for something sportier, like the 55's quad tip or an interesting, non-cheesy design? I do not want to change out other exhaust components nor the rear apron / bumper. Just the tips. Thank you. A-Train

Japan for sure makes awsome parts for Euro vehicles as well.
