Looks like they are sold out. I didnt take any pics while it was up on the lift, and taking a pic now would be a PITA. I'll try to get something on here soon.

On CLS55 I have MBH long tube headers and their cats, resonator replaced with Magnaflow X-pipe which is little further back, and stock mufflers. In my opinion it is very civilized when driving normally, at least inside the car. And no drone at all. When stepping on gas it is quite loud but nothing terrible inside. Cold start is pretty loud though. Some time ago on dyno heard it first time outside and was little surprised how loud it was behind the car during dyno pull. Could not imagine that from driver's seat and especially when driving normally.

Exactly, the CLS55 is very well isolated. I was also shocked by the sound level outside of the car. And this is with stock headers, stock downpipes & cats and stock mufflers. Only center resonator has been deleted. Let alone with LTH and Xpipe

I’m going with American Racing Headers based not only from their build quality, but also the fact that they seem to be the “only” manufacturers that incorporate the OEM “Tranny Bracket” on each side for stability and they have a mid-Pipe Bend allowing the pipes to go over the Mid-Body Cross Brace, which other manufacturers simply ignore thus requiring you to have to permanently remove it! That’s simply a dealbreaker for me! I am so looking forward to installing them too, with Cats of course!

I'm with you I'm just wondering if you can tell a large enough difference between a stock pulley and an 83 mm pulley and tune without touching the exhaust.

But a simple 83 upper with a box (no dyno tune) cable tune (exactly what I have) transforms the car completely and it comes alive even more so than stock from the goose and just rips in the colder months. I much prefer an upper and tune car vs a headers tune car for instance. I just prefer that setup more for my driving style and wants with the car.
