Exhaust Cut-Out

[VIP_MBZ]

Hey, I'm getting an AMG exhaust, will it clear my stock 2000 C230k bumper (has the little under-valances on left and right sides), or do I have to fabricate something or buy the AMG bumper?

If you want to have the built in look you will need to cut it. No need to buy a new bumper for it unless youre looking to change the style of it.

I can't really picture an assymetrical cutout on this bumper. I'm sure you know what the 2000 valance looks like. I think it might look funny with a cut.

As blasphemous as it sounds, I wonder if it would just be better to go sleeper and chop the AMG tips.

If you chop the AMG tips, then why buy an AMG muffler?

I know what you mean. You could always a muffler on each side then :p

I'm more interested in the performance gain from the AMG cat-back system (which is about 1/2-1" larger diameter to my understanding), which is a better sounding and better tuned alternative to a custom system. The AMG look is nice, but if it looks tacky with the stock bumper, then I may end up losing the tips.
