Thanks. I don't think I'll be doing another one of these exhaust systems though, it was a lot of work. I do more maintenance type work, then fabrication work. There are some other places in the area that can definitely build you a high quality exhaust system.

This is my ideal day:

New headlights and intake all finished up. Put a new steering wheel on and replaced the torn mirror gaskets.

I like the intake air setup. I will be fabbing one similar for CLK with less real estate. Are the filters located in the pipe near supercharger or fitting in the intake air plenum out front?
Id like to find a filter setup if located under hood, Y pipe @ throttle body is a mystery as well.
My MAF will give me an edge here.
Thanks for posting this car.
