Sacrilege! Don’t do it, these cars are about driving along in comfort in a leather three piece suite, climate control set and music through the quality sound system and keeping the noisy plebs out.

But then again I am biased.

You might think that your car sounds great, which in isolation is true.

Now try living on a road which goes out to the country where everyone rides past on their sports bike or their “weekend toy” ( vomit ) with a loud exhaust.

I fking hate them.

I’d look at whatever was fitted to the SL55 from the factory.
Mine sounds potent but never annoying. Which is a balance that is hard to get right.
