Magnaflow Exhaust

[anf6789]

so i decided i wanted to get magnaflow exhaust. as i understand most people on this forum with magnaflow have the universal muffler with the tips welded on already. can anyone show me an underbody picture showing me how they installed it and if it was proffesionally installed how much did it cost. also if you have the part number of the muffler that would be great too. the only thing i am worried about is loudness and drone, out of ten if my 1994 c280 is a 3 stock what would you rate it after the muffler. does anyone have any sound clips. thanks

[crazy00c230k]

i got mine installed at a muffler shop, it cost me around $100 because they had to do a few inches of custom piping so that it fit in my rear lip, so if u dont need the piping im guessing it would probably be around $40-$50

[anf6789]

thanks alot, is it the universal one with the tips what model # ?nice thats good i was thinking more, so only around 200 dollars for a custom magnaflow exhaust, :D awesome i hope it sounds sweet

[matt09]

Hope you come back and tell us how it sounds, oh, and pics!

[anf6789]

oh definatly, right now i am trying to get my fist autocross video up, and then pics of my newly polished oem tailpipes(just to hold me off for a little while,lol) definatly pics and sound clips will be up
when i get it installed!!!

its a universal w/tips, im not sure what the model # is, it sounds pretty good for just a muffler

I used to sell & install Magnaflow & flowmaster(magnaflow outsould 12to1). I believe the ones you all are refering to are the XL series Part #13148 it is 2.225" inlet/dual2" out & 20" overall legenth.
I used to get them for just over $50. You can get them from summitracing.com

[anf6789]

it looks like one of these

Sure. I'm going to check if I can use my TREO.

[DANGGERW202]

do you a exhaust drone while driving? if so what rpm, and is it bearable for long trips?

Not really. At first maybe but I got used to it. I asked a couple of my freinds and they said they like it. As long as you keep the oem resonator, it won't be too loud.

[anf6789]

thanks i forgot to ask about drone too, thats good i hate drone, its all u here on the highway sometimes

I didn't come out clear when I used my TREO phone. Do you know how I can post/share the video w/ sound?

[97C28O]

photobucket has a video host. or youtube works.

[matt09]

Make an account in photobucket. They let you upload vids instantly.

[anf6789]

cant wait to here it, im going to make before and after videos when i get it on my c280, that way this forum will actually have some clips!!

[Rey99C280]

I'm not sure if this will work but here's what I got:

Magnaflow Sound on my C280 (http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/rdsuayan/?action=view&current=magnaflow.flv)

I got other video but it's too big.

[taimyshukah]

Nice. A bit too loud for me though. I might just end up getting a universal remus sport exhaust. I heard they sounded pretty close to OEM at idle.

[anf6789]

hey thanks your the first clip i have heard of this exhuast, man u dont no how long i have been waiting to here any exhaust on a C280, do think it would sound remotetly the same on a l6 instead of your V6, thanks anf6789, AT LAST!!! EXHAUST SOUNDS

[97C28O]

possible outside sounds? But it does sound good. Sorta like my friend G35.

You don't have to but I did. I like mine tucked in. I see some that they show off the whole muffler. I don't think it looks good that way.

[Mercedes DIY]

wow that looks great! to bad there is no room for dual mufflers.

I think any muffler shop can do it but if you want the one who did mine, you can go to:

Awesome Performance (http://ocautosites.com/awesomeperf)
23061 Antonio Pkwy., Ste. H
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688
tel. 949-858-9898

Ask for Ruben Rauda. He owns the shop and does all the work. He's also the one who installed my foglights. If you want, I can go there with you. Just let me know.

Yeah I may have to take you up on that. I know any shop can do it, I just want it done RIGHT (as far as the cutting of the bumper goes, I have seen some very half-ass jobs) and I think yours came out great...I'll PM you when I get it :)

Sure OCKlasse. Just let me know. . .

By the way guys, here's how it sounds at IDLE (http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/rdsuayan/?action=view&current=MVI_0402.flv)

[jnolte]

I'm not sure why you can't here anything. How about you guys?

[OCKlasse]

I hear...it's just very quiet...turn up the speakers

[anf6789]

lucky for me the part that i would have to cut is ugly black plastic, not painted, lol. i wouldnt want mine sticking out from the bottom eithere, that wouldlook half ass

[202rules]

Here is how my magnaflow exhaust sounds. It's very loud, even for my own taste. I probably will take the muffler out down the road and find a quieter one.

[Proven Guilty]

is yours also a c280?

those sound great imo, it doesn't sound like a buzz bomb, and it's actually quite throaty for a i6 / v6

If you're asking me, yeah I have a 95 C280, ie. inline 6 cylinder engine.

[anf6789]

that sounds sick nasty, freakin awesome!! mines a 1994 c280

yeah. i don't care for that style of tip, but i think it sounds great and wouldn't change it.

[mike mac]

did you just replace the muffler or did you make a full cat-back?
doy u think i shoulf just get a AMG muffler? i wrok for benz so i can get ti cheap.
o, yea i didnt even think about that but a dual exaust would be nice.

what price can you get on c43 muffler?

[mike mac]

idk, iil check at work tommorow...should i put one of those on my ride?

[Proven Guilty]

the C43 on a stock system is just as quiet as the original one you have now. So if you're just going for looks and don't want to change the sound, it's right up your alley.

[anf6789]

i definatly want a combination of both, thats why i am going with magna flow.

[anf6789]

the magnaflow #14830 will be at my door tommorow finally, its been on backorder at summitracing.com for like 2 months, couldn't beat thier 108 dollor price. will post before and after pics and vids when i get it installed!!
