I just installed my xpipe and i must say it sounds great! The videos don't do this mod any justice. Must hear live to get the true effect. For anyone still debating on the xpipe mod, i'd say get it done asap! I have a 6 speed manual so it sounds extra nice!

$100 total cost! $30 s.s. xpipe from amazon and $70 labor.

I just had mine installed a fee days ago definitely sounds better . cost me 180 for labor though as i was too lazy to go price shopping .

70 for labor that is very cheap. I paid about 125 for mine to be done and also you have a 6spd nice i think you and me are the only two in Jersey that has a 6spd.

Now I wonder how it would sound with high flow cats in place of the second set of cats?

hitokiri89

Does anyone make a set of hi flow cats for our cars .

Looks great and i bet it sounds very nice!

X-pipe remains one of the least expensive mod you can add to your C

I got mine done for only $45

xXHotelCrazyXx

Are you serious? Wow! Cheap and easy mod!

ZeroSeVen

Yes sir... I went to a family owned muffler shop who's been in business for 25+ years. When they saw the x-pipe they already knew what to do and they only charged me $45

I got my magnaflow x-pipe from Amazon for $83 with free shipping but some members got theirs for $67 from some other site

xXHotelCrazyXx

So you bought an xpipe and didnt have one made correct? So the labor was $45?

ZeroSeVen

yup... you can have a muffler shop custom build you one but it'll end up costing more

Magnaflow x-pipe is the one that is widely used... It comes in different inlet sizes make sure to get the 2.25 one

xXHotelCrazyXx

awesome, do you have a PN for the magnaflow xpipe?

ZeroSeVen

Yep, Here's the part number 10790

Magnaflow x-pipe 2.25

I wonder what the sound is while driving normally. I have a Z06 which is loud and kind of enjoy the C300 on the streets and freeway that its quite. I am thinking I would like for a little growl to it when I punch it. But how loud does it get on surface streets under normal driving cinditions and driving on the freeway 65-75mph?

Still wondering at freeway speeds and driving around town what the sound is like...but here is another good comparison video, both inside and out.

You can barely hear a difference at normal driving.

hitokiri89

At low rpm it's quiet only hear it at start up and when you get on it .

Spec_Davis

you can hear it when you push it above 3000rpm

ah sweet! well I just got my AMG 18s. gonna look for tires today and order them. that'll be my project for next month...if i can wait that long lol

fefo25

What do you guys think of universal high flow cats??

B AS IN BENZ

does installing the xpipe replace anything? I just called for a labor quote and he asked if I was going to put it in place of something else (I forgot what he called it). He said they normally charge $125 for an x pipe. Wondering if that's going to be the going rate in L.A.

X pipe mod is the simplest and one of the cheapest mods out there and it really does make a huuge difference IMHO
