| Looks odd to me also. Never seen Brabus move the designation over like that before, they normally either scrap it totally or put a meaningful badge on. Saying that it obviously has Brabus alloys and what appear to be Brabus Brembo's.

 | I dont see the usual B with chrome outlining on the rims. They were probably like mine, monet's or another "knock off" to brabus, that are basically the same exact thing but not 12381238172391732913217398 dollars. |

| Well, we do have some posers here in Scottsdsale. May not be a true Brabus creation. The six pipes caught my attention as well, which is why I snapped the pic. However, I will defer to my mate Dan and other members who are clearly more knowledgeable about the "big B" than I.

| Well with MBUK's Brabus parts connection i was able to find the following - The Brabus brakes for the 55/600/65 are 12-Piston front's and 6-Piston rear's the brakes in the pic look big but its impossible to tell without a side on view really. That exhaust is the Brabus Sports Exhaust R230 SL55 (6-Pipe), only for use on the SL55 AMG. Not quite sure what to make of it to be honest with you.

| Brabus or not, 2 pipes are good, 4 pipes aggressive, 6 pipes overdone IMO. Hey at least it's not the new Lexus ISF stacked 4 pipes.

| Ditto, 6 pipes do make it look overdone. But i guess that some people want to give that rice impression.
