1997 C280

I have a 1997 C280 and I can't find any kind of aftermarket muffler systems. do they make them?

also, what is the tallest wheel I can stuff under the fenders of this car?

I heard 20's,19's and 18's, but I need to be sure not to over do it....lol

any info is appreciated

I wouldn't put anything bigger than 18's on it. I've seen pics (non-photo shopped) of a w202 with 20's, but I don't even want to know how much he had to do to it to get it to accomodate that size rim.

I know some people that have Remus exhausts. If you want exhaust on these cars, from what I've heard, you have to pay the money. One more thing on the rims, remember that those are gonna be heavy rims, so if I were you, I would go 17 with a nice drop. The W202 C-Class is not really powerful enough for 18's (excluding AMG) unless they are expensive, light weight ones. I say this cause the new w203 C 230 and the w203 04-05 C 230K don't have near enough power for the 17's and staggered tire setup they come equipped with in Sport Package.
