I have a Supersprint resonator on the w208 clk55. It sounds real mean.

Should run about $500-$600. Its mostly for sounds as the AMG setup is already free flowing.

Warranty is all subjective according to the dealership you take it to.

If they can prove that your modification caused the direct fault of the problem you are claiming, they will deny your warranty claim.

I recently popped into an Aston Martin garage and the sales guy started up a Vanquish. WOW

I tell you, I cannot describe the growl, snarl, roar of the exhaust note - it was totally intoxicating.

I dont know if this is mainly down to the exhausts or the 6 litre V12.

If you can make the clk55 sound anything like that then WOW.

To hear the aston martin sound, load the flash intro at

www.astonmartin.com (turn your speakers right up)

Trust me, the real thing sounds infinitely better.

Please post sound file or link to sound files on clk55 mods if you can.

Cheers
Paul

No worries. Its just I always receive a "read receipt" from you but you didnt send one with that e-mail. I thought the e-mail didnt get through.....take yr time....

Btw, it is okay to take out the resonator. If you dont like the sound or if you think there is no difference, you can always put it back on.

I stopped by european autowerks, where dr. anderson got his installed, and they said the extension to the right side for the quad tips.. is a pipe connecting to the muffler.. so the muffler is an integral part to the whole system... he said removing the muffler is do-able.. but tricky.. can you confirm this for me?
