If you decide on the whole exhaust system, make sure it's street legal, the whole catback exhaust isn't for the SLK350, I'm not sure about the emissions regulation in Kuwait but here in the US, they're strict.

Not that strict, Since I was able to have a Full Exhaust on the Cayenne with Catalytic converte bypass pipes installed

Stock Cayenne S and Turbo 4 Cats , I have two including their Muffler.

Here's a few pics of the supersprint exhaust, I didn't unwrap it all yet b/c I want to keep it wrap when I bring it to get installed, you can see the supersprint logo (the horse). I'll get better pics when I'm about to get it installed.

yeah, it is driving me nuts, I pray for sunny days everyday so all the ice will melt so I can get out w/o damaging my car. It'll be 50F today so that'll help, but will get more snow Saturday so I'm still counting the days. I can't remember getting this much snow, I've been in Colorado since 1987, it usually snows one day and will dry out the next. Anyway, the supersprint muffler does look good and is fairly light, will put it on a scale if anyone is interested, got to find ways to play with it b4 I get it installed.

Looks very very nice. Please do put in on a scale and let us know the numbers. (Gotta give Ynot something to do before the supersprints are installed . It should sound awesome too.)

One important vote, so I guess that's enough to convince me, I'll do it next week.

Ynot,

congrats! The exhaust has arrived. It looks very shiny. I have only seen it installed to the car.

Try to keep the waiting time short until spring.

Looking forward to the results. After hearing/seeing yours, I'll probably do the same... well maybe the cheaper (no-name) version.

Could someone tell me wich aftermarket exhaust has EXACTLY the same tips (both size and shape) as the AMG one?
From what I know some of them have the same shape but are smaller.
In particullar, is the Supersprint one the same size and how does its sound compares to the AMG one in an SLK350?
Thanks.
