Why don't they make it a row of 10 ? There's room for 4 more in the middle !
That's way beyond good taste. Lovely color, interior seems nice too !

I can't help but to think of the "spinal tap" reference to having at amp that goes to eleven, it must be louder because it goes to eleven.

I guess that sl is faster, has 6 pipes.

, let's get Fitty Cent down there with his Amex Black and no-license driving skillz.

Some people like 6 exhaust pipes do they? Some people like Scheisser movies too. Chuck a pipe bomb at it.

This must be a Euro thing...popular in European street tuning crowds...notice both cars had euro rear decklids and plates...they do some things different over there it seems; like really wide smaller wheels with much narrower tires stretched around the rim...to each their own I guess

Is it possible to get that exhaust but with 4 tips instead of 6? I like the tip shape and cut of the brabus but the quads work better for me...

That SL65 was custom built by AMG and it's not sitting at a dealership. It's in Affalterbach.
