    Why did you post this question in 3 different places? Performance Tuning section is the correct place to post this question.
    Delete the other 2.

    Andy, as you are new here, I'll cut you some slack. Please refrain from posting the same question (or variation of it) in multiple Forums. Choose the Forum most appropriate to your question and post it there.

    Try doing a high flow cat upgrade and remove the central resonator. That should improve breathing and give some more sound. You will never get the sound of a c36 or c43. You don't have enough cylinders

    You could drop in a C36 or C43 engine if you can get one, if you really want the sound, or cheaper to buy a c36 or c43

    its way to complicated and expensive to swap a amg engine into a 4 banger

    Not really. its much harder to swap in a motor that wasn't mean to be there, but for the M113 or M104 everything you need can be bought online through parts sites. Get a hold of a Mercedes shop manual and it will tell you how to pull and install the motor too.

    The big things you need are the engine and transmission mounts. Aside from that its just wiring which if you have the ecu and harness is plug and play, if not spend the extra 2 grand to install a stand alone haltech unit which will probably net you 20 extra HP anyways. have an exhaust shop make a new exhaust and you are good to go. The cost is worse than the work swapping it in. 5.5L AMG long blocks are on ebay for 2k right now, you need the accessories, I was looking up part numbers and the A/C compressor is the same on the M111 and M113 so some accessories may carry over, and the transmission as well, but if you have a hoist and a shop manual and are mechanically competent you can do it in a garage on your own.

    EDIT:

    just to illustrate this

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...#ht_500wt_1157

    Motor, $1600 plus shipping <<<< yeah $1600 can you believe honda 4 banger cost more?!?

    tranny, $650 plus shipping

    http://www.everythingbenz.com/z/part...0-430-55-parts

    here is a list with part numbers to everything you will need. I would wait for the motor to arrive before I ordered things. Often even though they say there is no Throttle body, its included for example.

    Completely mad.
    '99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
    '86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
    '75 Fiat 124 Spider, koni shocks, bigger carb and drilled/slotted brakes
    to tune and hoon the mbz master race.

    Basically a 4 cylinder won't sound like a 6 or 8 cylinder because of physics and the number of exhaust pulses per revolution

    I put a C36 exhaust on my C280 and even though it has the same number of cylinders it does not have the same rumble as the C36. Don't get me wrong it sounds much better and a definite improvement....but a C36 it isn't.

    What kind of C280 do you have? Straight 6 or V6 because that will also make a difference, not to mention displacement and the amount of air coming out of the engine

    In my case the C280 has the M104 motor or inline 6 just like the C36. I chalk it up to the displacement.

    Along with displacement I think the note has a lot to do with cam timing - overlap/duration etc

    andy, type w202 in youtube and there should be a few videos of exhaust swaps and the sound after. Just click on one and the chain begins
    Also, the sound should be nearly the same along all the w202's that have a I4 engine

    thanks i gonna try now

    the M104 sounds beast without any exhaust =D


    you got a 4 cylinder W202 right ? Do a resonator delete and add a magnaflow 14815 double wall dual tip universal muffler
    Its what OCklasse has as his exhaust setup and ive heard it in person numerous times sounds great.
    heres a youtube clip
