Dual-Exhaust Pipes...

Does anyone has their 2nd Gen CL equipped with dual-exhaust pipes on both sides? I'm thinkin' of gettin' one, it must look woopin' crazy with 4 pipes~
if anyone does, can they post their pix and tell me what exhaust they have, thanx~

He probably means dual exhaust with quad tips. Like the 5th gen corvette.

i wouldnt consider an aftermarket exhaust unless it was the dual tips on each size....i think all the current aftermarket exhausts look way too much like FART CANS!!! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPPPPP

4 tips on a 6 banger is like, 1.5 cyls per tip.

Don't even understand the dual tips when they cheap out and run into a single cat then go dual after that. Just extra weight. To do it right should be true duals, does anyone offer an exhaust system like that for the CLS. I had to custom make a true dual for my F150 HD.

i have been wanting to do this to my CL-S since i got it..i am not a real big fan of replacing with comptech, because i think they look to small for the openings in the CL-S...and i wont even mention all the others i have seen..with the exception of very few, i dont like most of the aftermarket exhausts people have applied to thier CL-S....

Take a look at the link to see the one i want for my car..

second row, middle picture..MODEL #14805

take a look at the specs of the mufler itself..should fit nicely with the CL-S

I've seen a TL with it and it looks awesome, how ever, I saw a CL with it and it did not look good at all b/c of the alignment issue....

Are you talking about the dual exhaust or the 4" tip one? Do you know if it sounds any good? performance wise? or are they just there for looks and sounds?

Sorry.. should have been more specific... I was talking about the quad-tip "dual exhaust" tips... not the 4" tips. I don't know how a 4" tip would look... my guess is it would look OK on the CL, but not the TL.

As for performance, almost all exhaust for our cars are only for looks and sound.... don't expect more then 3-5hp gain... possibly lower.
