I have a 2001 SLK 320 and was wondering if I can have my exhaust made in to a dual exhaust. Not just a dual tail pipe but a true dual exhaust. Has anyone done this? I'd love to see some pics. Any suggestion or advice?
Thanks so much
Maybe get a reiger rear-lip, then get a shop to make the exhaust... Seems kind of useless though. For every ass, there is an opening (or opinion ;). Darn, I forgot how that saying went [:D]
I had the Brabus exhaust in my car. Supposedly gave a few extra HP, and sure made a nice rumbly sound while driving. Might require modification of the standard rear bumper ot fit the two exhausts (I'm assuming you meant to have dual exhaust on the left side, not to have one on each side of the car... in this case, it's too much trouble to be worth it).

Here's what I wanted (see attached file). I've been told a welded second pipe might mess up the sound and a fake one looks plain silly if it doesn't smoke. I dropped the idea because of the very real possibility of making the car sound dissonant.
On my wife's '01 SLK 320 I had the Aufwiederstien-Quadra 4-pipe system installed.
I was told it was the only one in the US. $1299 + tax/shipping ($376.81) + $660 to install at the M-B Dealer.[8D]
