AMG vs Brabus exhaust

OPINION NEEDED!

I'm going to order either the AMG quad exhaust (through harton motorworks on this forum) or the Brabus exhaust.

Which one do you guys think looks better? The quad tip oval on the AMG or quad tip round on Brabus?

I Cannot decide as I never seen either one in person. Has any of you seen them?

how was the prices on those?
If they are around equal costs then i think i would go for the brabus exhasuts.
Since a lot of ppl will alreayhave the amg with the slk 55s.
BUt not many will have the brabus one.
personally im going to get the carlsson's

prices are in USD:

Brabus~ 2,000
AMG~ 1500

However, the AMG one requires a new bumper which also costs 1500.

You're willing to fork out up to $3K to make your exhaust look better?

SLK 55 AMG
Cause you don't have an AMG car, go with the Brabus. It's really is a personal opinion/choice, it's what you like. I have the SLK 55 AMG and I saw the Brabus exhausts that you are talking about at the LA auto show. I did not like the brabus exhaust at all, becuase they are in the shape of a circle, the AMG looks way better. But you should go with Brabus cause some people might say that you want to be an AMG poser. (off topic, by saying this line I know people are going to quote me on it or complain about it. Honestly I don't care, write your annoying post if it makes you feel any better).

All I can say is that I love my SLK 55 AMG.

As an other option you could try is a pair of Remus mufflers.

I've had Remus pipes on bikes and my last car. Good quality, great sound.

Good luck with it.

how are the prices on those Remus mufflers?
im also looking into getting exhausts to finish up the tuning for my 350.
My budget can no longer suit a 3000 dollor exhaust system ><
