    AHEM!!!
    Depends on who you're talking about. I don't want to turn this thread into 'Dubai-Talk' but rates over here are as higher than hell and beyond. But that also depends on what sector you're looking at.

    F*** the logic, that thing is awsome.

    The only issue with the silencers on the SLR is that they cannot run underneath the car, due to the aerodynamic package required to produce sufficient negative lift without a bloody great lax-power Halfrauds special tacked on the back.

    Therefore, rather than having two or three silencers along the length of the pipe as usual, they had to stick one big silencer in next to the engine.

    I doubt which ever nutter created this cares much for sound limits anyway.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Does any one else find this a little bit odd? If you do have an actual SLK with an SLR engine, why did'nt you just open the hood. This is what a real SLR engine looks like inside(Note SLR writing on engine bay). I am not doubintg you I am just saying you would have had to do some sort of crazy eninge work or have a massive hood to fit all that in.

    The large silver and red thing at the very front of the SLR is just the airbox that mates up to the intake... I'm sure that they could get it to fit with modified exhaust, engine mounts and airbox without having to "cut" the car...

    Yeah .. the engine is the red square at the far back. You could probably find other places for the airbox. It is, afterall, considered mid/front engined.

    I would love to see a pic of it with the hood open... This way it only makes me think that it could be a chop.
