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.

Well at least the guy is using a ruler and taking measurements. Makes me feel a little better about what I'm doing.

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!

No they are at the same angle, I had him show me with a ruler before he started welding.

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.
