Have you tried Longlife Exhausts? (http://www.exhausts.uk.com/)

They can make custom systems and made a pair of catalytic converters for my '01 SLK320 for half the price of the original of the mercedes ones.

at myself, I thought I've read sporty blackbox, the airfilter's in the black box. Now I see sporty backbox, both piecha and supersprint are under 2K.

I was going for Back Boxes [Mufflers from SuperSprint], I just wanted to have the AMG enscript on my mufflers. So thats why It took me to a cheaper setup for Kleemann Catalytics and SuperSprint X pipe which costs roughly 1,000 pounds.

Piecha or Supersprint. Try Lenny (noregret4life) off the site for the Piecha pipes.

aha correct alroumi, lucky you are one sharp knife. .
for a 55 i agree with what alroumi has done, the amg pipes look aesthetically perfect, performance upgrades should include new cats and manifold. supersprint x pipes and a decat should do the trick if im not mistaken.
