Default Just checked out Super Sprint SLK55 AMG exhaust soon available

I just checked out Supersprint website they say they will be offering soon a complete SLK55 AMG exhaust, which consists of a centre silencer, 2 sport cats, 2 rear mufflers + manifold

Ohh and there is a Carlsson exhaust system for the SLK55 out there but it would look out of proportion without the Whole body kit + wheels

Since I'm getting kleemann headers and a sports cat for sure, a full cat-back exhaust system would be a nice addition. I just hope both systems will be priced under $3,000, otherwise, its not worth it for such small performance gains.

Yeah, 3,000 is a bit steep , any way the Stock AMg exhausts sound Mean and I can imagine how the Aftermarket one's sound when you have the roof open and downshift from 3rd to 2nd VroooooooooooooooooM something like a world war 2 fighter

Default amg exhaust

My understanding from renntech is that the amg exhausts are already very efficient. Due to certain regulations Renntech will not play with the cats in certain states.

Also I'm just curious but IMHO the SLK55 has the meanest sounding exhaust of all the normal AMG cars out there. Its not even close. This was even when I was back in stock mode.

Now with the supercharger ... jesus at full throttle its insane.

The CLS55 sounds stronger and more alive at Idle, Ive tested both.
