| Very tempting Bill. Rancho Santa Margarita (RSM for short) is only 15 minutes away. I would certainly sign up if the manufacturer's warranty has ran out, the vehicle is only 10 months old.

| Good move Cyberdrakon. I would definitely sign up if I lived in the area. BTW, I really don't think any dealer would not honor a warranty because of an exhaust.

| Somehow i doubt they'll pick me...I'm having some work done on my SLK right now...and i don't think there is that much demand for a magnaflow exhaust for the 55s, what with so many options already out there...oh well, here's hoping! |

| Hey you never know! They've been trying to become more of a presence in the higher end of things for the last few years so maybe they'll get back to you. Check out their Audi RS4 system, sounds good!

| Yes it sounds good but in comparison to the Tubi exhaust sytem and the MTM the Magnaflow sounds like a Corvette whilst the Tubi makes it sound like a gallardo from downlow.
