Welcome to the forum

I am in Columbia,MD.

I had my SLK serviced at Benchmark at 108 & Red Branch Rd.

They installed my Eisenmann Sport muffler and did wheel alignment.

R & H Motors is also good place for service but at dealer prices.

Benchmark: Muffler sound

Benchmark installed my Eisenmann Sport muffler for $90.00.

I purchsed the muffler and conecting pipe from BEKKERS for $524.00.

It improved the sound. At idle it has a deep rumble sound. When accelerating, it gets loud.

You have to decide which muffler you would prefer and if you have an opportunity meet someone that has made the change and hear the sound the muffler produces.
