Did anyone end up install the randomtech high flow cats？ I just installed the X-pipe and straight pipe today replacing the 2 small resonators and the large one.

The sound level is about 50% less compare to just changing the large resonator to straight pipes, I would like to know if the cat really tunes up the sound.

Thanks!

I finally found the friggin black hood badge in Hong kong today.

took me forever to find it after these years..

Pic? Link?

I had one on my CLK that I liked.

patrickkc

Found it at a local store here. You can't find this badge online as I've searched for it since the OP has gone MIA.

Kevin9664

Yeh, I've message the OP a couple times about his diffuser and no answer

Nice. Did you fly there from Toronto just to look for it?? lol

How much was it? (in USD) Would you be able to pick up another?

patrickkc

I think OP has the Piecha diffuser.

Nah, I semi moved back to Hong Kong in December as I am originally from here.

One of my goals was to find this badge while I'm here.. lol went to like 15 car accessory shops today to find it. I paid 588HKD for it.. quite a bit more expensive compared to the regular blue coloured aftermarket ones.

There seems to be a lot of interest in this badge from the Toronto Benz group, so I will call the shop tomorrow and see if I can get a better price if I'm buying a few more for them.

Originally he had a 3 fin diffuser but after a lot of research (post stalking) I found out it was a custom original that his friend made by experiment. Might be going the Piecha route.

588HKD (or $75 USD) does seem like a lot but might be worth it. It's definitely unique and nice looking. Hopefully you can get it lower with a group buy. Keep me updated.

patrickkc

Ah, I see.. maybe I can find that diffuser here in Hong Kong too.

I quite like the Piecha diffuser too and will probably order one if I go back to Canada.

It is a lot especially when some vendors / ebay people are selling the other aftermarket hood badges for $35 USD. I've pretty must exhausted every type of search with no like in finding this badge. All sources lead back to this thread with a MIA OP.

I will keep you updated Kevin after I call the shop tomorrow.

patrickkc

Kevin, there is a lot of interest in my local car FB group (MBTrueNorth). I will be hosting a GB for them regarding this badge. I called the shop and if I get 15 orders I'll get 10% off.

I'll be sending you a PM regarding the details.

Chris The Swede

Here is a OEM version. Not all black though.

patrickkc

That isn't black though, just the regular dark blue. Depending on how the picture is taken, there seems to be a lot of shades of blue.

The part number is just for the regular badge.

imaginetigers

wish we can find the all black one, i would GB for that

Count me in for a black badge to if one ever surfaces.

I'm surprised they don't make a black badge, like what Chris posted - since they do Blue and Black variants of the center caps for the rims.

DropTopMan

Luv the ride.....very nice touches..!

This thread was pretty much my whole precedent research for what I wanted to do with my exhaust. I basically did the same thing and this thread sold me on it. Piecha diffuser with E63 exhaust tips. Thanks!
