My new Exhaust (vid + pics)

[wes]

Well I got a Magnaflow XL universal muffler and had a pipe custom made for a catback system. I feel quite a bit of extra power, it's most notable when merging onto the highway and flooring it. The car is now very loud, although not like a rice rocket. It sounds nice and deep in the low rpms, but once it climbs to 4000rpm the sound gets a bit raspy. It has a nice low tone grumble when idling and cruising around at city speeds.

Let me know what you guys think! I'm looking to lower the car next :D

Looks nice. Baffled? Straight through?

[Superpnoy]

i like it cause you have a video haha...but it does get pretty raspy...not my type of thing on a benz but it looks nice

good thing you didnt get pulled over for a rolling stop! lol well atleast you signaled!

I believe the muffler is baffled, or else it would be quite a bit louder.
There aren't usually cops around that area, which is why I chose to do it there. The car actually doesn't sound THAT raspy in real life, but the microphone on my digital camera makes it sound worse. I even had my friend drive the car back and forth past me to get a better idea of what it's like :p

to loud for my taste, but nice.....

I like it...It reminds me of my old Porsche 914. Same tone of sound. Did you cut the bumper a little to fit the tips better?

[wes]

I didn't need to cut the bumper. The stock bumper already has a small groove so it fits perfectly! I could always make a video of me cruising around at a normal pace so you could hear the sound, but that would be boring. I would say it's just a tad louder than my neighbour's c32 when driving at city speeds.

I like it this way, if i want some loudness and be obnoxious I can just step on it, but if I want to stay subtle, I just have to drive legally :D

It looks great, but it sounds kind of like a fart can to me.
