500 Aftermarket Exhaust compatible on a 55?

A few months back when I was in the market for a 500, a friend of mine gave me a super deal on a REMUS exhaust off his 500 so I had to snag it.

Problem now is I'm getting a 55 and was wondering if I should swap out the AMG mufflers for this Remus. Its also a quad tip design. I checked Remus website part #'s are slightly diff. and a few vendors didnt have a solid answer.

?? should I put it on, or just sell it?

Sorry. No hard data here.

I guess my two cents would be, since you already own the exhaust, might as well try it. I'd expect it to be pretty obvious if there was a significant fitment issue.

I'll check fitment when I get the car and compare physically....more worried about a loss of performance or similar due to the exhaust being designed for only a 500.

I believe the piping is smaller on the 500, so it could be an issue. If I were you I would sell it and cut my losses.

BTW, congrats on the up coming 55!
