CLS320 CDI exhaust upgrade

[LostKiwi]

I’m probably a lone voice but I don’t like them I think they’re too wide and therefore too close to the corners. So close I could see parking issues on low kerbs.

I think the Mercedes quad pipes sit closer into the centre so don’t have the same issue.

No I'm not a huge fan either.
Quad tips are a bit "gauche" in my view unless factory fitted. Mimicing the quad tips of an AMG is a bit like fitting faux AMG badges. Sometimes less is more.
However I respect that my views are not necessarily yours and may be in the minority and it is only my opinion/taste.

If you're happy that's all that counts.
I've had quite a bit if work done by Powerflow over the years and have always been pleased with the results.

Ok, so it’s just the bumper that’s different on the quad tipped AMG?

If so I retract my previous statement and submit that I like the exhausts it’s the bumper I’m slightly unhappy with

Yeah the bumper is different on the quad tipped AMG and two tipped “AMG sport” models but the tips are in the same place

I was tempted to try and find a sport kit but I think the car looks a little more elegant with the standard bodywork.

Yeah I was a little worried at first that it would look like I’m trying to make a fake AMG, but I’m really happy with the results think it looks tasteful but looks a little tougher, plus the way I see it AMG started as a tuning company, some pre merger official AMGs are simply a body kit and an exhaust (I draw the line at fake badges however!)

Plenty of clearance for parking, really glad I ceramic coated the tips before they were fitted, staying nice and clean now!

As promised an exhaust sound video, starting with a few revs and accelerating, hard accelerating and lastly a pass of the camera at a steady 60 (nice and quiet almost silent)

oddly I stopped for a horse rider who was chatting to someone on the footpath, looking a little shocked when he looked up when passing said "sorry I didn't hear you you're car is very quiet!"

Sounds a lot better than my exhaust does.
