FS: Thermal R&D Axleback Exhausts 2nd Gen CL/CLS $150 Shipped!!
I had them on my car for about 8k miles.
When I bought them I took them to a muffler shop to be put on (before I knew how easy it was to change them out) and they told me they had to " bend some piping" to make them sit up in the rear bumper more like I wanted. I can tell they made adjustments to the the piece of the exhaust that mounts to the Y pipe from the Mufflers.
The only thing cosmetically wrong with them is the muffler shop got some little rust spots on the piece of the muffler that faces outward from the car, but they were not noticeable when looking at them from the rear of my car. I was told the spots can be removed but I have no idea how.
I have gotten numerous compliments on them by people of the street and from members here that have seen and heard them. They have a nice deep tone, no raspiness whatsoever.
Here are pics on and off the car.

I have never heard the Magnaflows on a CL , so cannot compare. I can compare them to my current HKS Superdraggers, and can say that the Thermals are quieter than the HKS'.
The thermals are no longer on my car, no sound clip avaliable.
Note: the pics of them not on the car are after I took them off.

Best Sound description I can give is deep and smooth. I was skeptical when I first bought them, about the sound, but once Intalled I thought it was just perfect.
