Brabus Exhuast information for SLK55

Scoobysnack · 12-13-2006

Was in the dealership , and got around to talking about Brabus. They have offered me the Brabus system fitted for my SLK55 at £1500.

Does anyone have experience of the Brabus system i.e db noise, weight , sound , and anything else

Thanks

B55 is your man

Ive been told from the stupid dealership over here that it doesnt fit the SLK55 and so does the Brabus wheels.LOL

I printed them a pic of B55's SLK and there faces changed

i would say your a pretty safe bet with the Brabus exhaust. If the dealership fits it that would mean no warranty issues correct?

DansSlk · 12-14-2006

The exhaust sounds great its a real powerful sound.

Warranty would be affected but what MB voids should be covered by the Brabus parts warranty so you don't really lose anything

Thanks very much

LOve some Brabus work on SLK but I dont like exaust design. I prefer AMG's oval design, but guess SLK 55 with Brabus exausts will sound meaner...

I still have the AMG tailpipes so its possible to have the Brabus system but with the stock tips no problem.

Not sure how the 200 would sound but i think the best way to describe the sound at speed is like a cigarette boat at full throttle it just roars

There is only one SLK 55 AMG as far as I know in Istanbul, maybe in all round Turkey. The owner was moving to America 3 months ago and wanted 130.000 Euros for the car. Yearly tax is around 7000 Euros for over 4000 cm3 engines here, he couldnt sell the car and these days he must be ready to pay 7000 Euros more.
I have never seen that car, saw and heard SLK 55 AMG safety car. I was in the Golden Tribune in Istanbulpark F1 Races and safety car was parked right infront of me. Totally beauty and power. The noise is distinguishable within the race. I couldnt stop smiling for a week. Everybody was talking about the race and I was just talking about the safety car. Soundeed like a big brother of F1 cars, much more meaner...
Loved the way AMG sounds, will love Brabus more if I ever hear it

FPF422 · 12-24-2006

LMAO €130.000... It's about half that new in Belgium... Is it gold plated?

diclehana · 12-24-2006

Yes but the goverment takes the gold part and leaves the metal part to you

Mishal · 12-25-2006

I have an SLK 280 - I want to get the exaust fitted - But I would like the look of 4 tailpipes (ie SLK 55) - does the Brabus system offer this? Also, how much is the approximate cost of the bodykit?

Thanks

yes I installed it and the sound is beautiful

N4PWJ · 01-09-2007

lovely car.
Try Piecha for the 280, or Carlsson. Brabus one is a great choice too.
I went for the Piecha one as it has twin oval pipes which resemble the 55amg pipes and i like the stock look of the 55.

BADMOON · 02-11-2007

the brabus exhaust is about $2200 including the installation.. but i dont think it include the straight pipe... is this necessary??

It just makes the car less restrictive if you mean the downpipe or something ?

B55 · 02-14-2007

The guys at Brabus NA in Newport who did my car said that the Brabus exhaust wouldn't be any different from the stock SLK55 exhaust - maybe even a step back. I stayed with the stock exhaust but my engine mods really make for a nice exhaust note.

They suggested Eisenmann Exhaust as being the very best you can get.

If you want info about Brabus stuff from the horse's mouth, call my buddy Matt Harold at brabus. The number is (949) 797-0177. Tell him I referred you.

TerisGR, your BRABUS badge is on the wrong side!

They are also very loud, you can hear it from blocks away, if that's what you like. I would stick with the AMG exhaust or something less aggressive. The sound of the exhaust may sound great when you first get it but after awhile, it'll drive you crazy.
