Will the SLK55 "quad" exhaust fit on 350?
I read somewhere that it is possible. However, the 55 has a totally different engine, so how can this be done? are the 350 and 55 exhaust cat back pipe mounts the same or something?
Also, does anyone know if the 55 exhaust produces better back pressure? Will adding the 55's exhaust increase hp? I've asked inden design who makes the quad exhaust and they said their system does not add any hp...

SLK 55 AMG
The engines are different, yes, but I am sure you can change the pipes still. Go to a dealership near you and ask the service repair guys over there. I have the SLK 55 AMG. I test drove the SLK 350. Both exhaust pipes sound good. The SLK 55 AMG is better because you always get that exhaust note even if you are putting a little gas into the engine. The SLK 350 has a good exhaust note too, but it is not loud enough to hear it when only a little gas is going through the engine.
