Custom Exhaust
Well, I am sitting inside of a Midas building wondering if I should have ever brought my car here. I wanted to see what they could do for a custom exhaust. I am not looking for a gain in performance, I am just looking to shave a couple of pounds off and a better sound....... Well, hopefully I'm not making to big of a mistake.

resonator removal and x pipe will make the car 5 to 10 percent louder.
Gutting the mufflers will make a very noticeable difference in sound.

If you kept the tips on them, you can sell them to the E500 guys for about $500.00, believe it or not.

Shardul - I need to get your pipes on order so I can build yours. You need to decide on mufflers or just trust me. You need to hear Patricks new exhaust system

Kurt let's do it. I think I heard Patricks system last time I was there. I would be willing to get any kind of mufflers as long as I can retain my factory AMG tips.

those tips don't look that great...maybe if they were a bit wider...and is the passenger one more crooked than the other?

Let's hear it!

Not feeling that so much. Do they have any other tips that might work better? Also, they appear to be somewhat crooked. Honestly I don't think you can top the stock tips.
