1) You have a point based on your opinion
2) you indicated your prowess over on the darkside forum based on your post count = you may or may not know how to STFF
3) Your own indication above was that you where with the wife and therefore had better things to do
4) Your argument and insult of a moderator's post therefore do not hold water
5) changing car brands, based on your above posted statement, is not an excuse
6) claiming contact by others, true or not, does not present a valid argument for consideration

no offense, but this is a load of crap. i am not lazy and i take offense to that. if you look at my original DISCLAIMER, i said i searched 2 forums (including here). if you want to call me "lazy" for not taking off the tip then i guess that's your right, but even then that's pretty dumb when someone might know the answer ASAP without me having to get my tools out just for a no-mod observation. i mean, c'mon man, it was just a friggin question.

i have received some PMs from great people here...mostly regarding the overall attitude of a lot of members here. i think its a shame that people can be so harsh on someone that has never offended anyone and simply asked a question. i am totally new to the world of mercedes and so far i am not impressed.

i want to remain a member here, but i feel like this is a big high school click full of arrogant trust-fund babies.

THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO EVERYONE HERE. to those that responded and helped, i thank you very much.
Bender, I don't think drexappeal was directing that at you. He was just responding to c240style. We all got that you weren't able to find your answer through the search feature.
Everyone is harsh to newbies all over the world. Remember being a freshman in college?

#2 - huh?

#3 - are you serious? i was kidding around at that point.

if people give me crap or insult me, i am not going to bow down and take it regardless who they are. if a moderator disagrees with me then i respect that. afterall, i am a new member. it still does not change the fact that i think there is a general lack of respect for NooBs. if you feel different then i guess we will have to respectfully disagree.

There was alot more interaction when the car was new and all the early adopters were learning about it.
This is how it should be done, (Thank You!) your reply contained all that was needed nothing more and or less (Good Job) ....................................

back on topic...

well, i think that the only "correct" way to do this IMHO is to get nice tips (ebay has replica AMG tips) and have them welded on. maybe cut the bumper a centimeter or so for perfect fit. either that, or buy an AMG exhaust. or, buy the 2007 C230 exhaust, which has to cost less then the C32 exhaust.

sorry this thread got out of hand for a bit...not my intention. there are clearly a few people that i will bang heads with here.

Take it easy. I was just responding to C240Style's comments to give a little bit of level headed explanation why some peole don't like when people don't search first. So in no way was this directed to anyone in particular. It just happened to come up in your thread (which was merged with another thread very similar in subject matter).

Many people have PM'd me and I've been happy to give information. Starting redundant threads just happens to be one of the things that upsets some people here. Not everybody will be like that, but that's just the way of the world in general. Can't please everybody all the time.

LOL...If that was the case, then there wouldn't be anybody on these boards at all. And if it was full of arrogant trust-fund babies, then everybody would be expecting each other to spoon feed and hold each others hands. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be realistic.

Next time you want to respond to everybody, please don't quote me. Ask majority of the people on here and they will tell you that I had a reputation of being overly helpful, even before I was appointed moderator.

A second correct way would be to back up the STFF claim with links and statements in the newly posted thread. Thereafter the posting of questions specific to the subject matter at hand will be be received much more favorably as evidenced by history.

A third possiblity would be to revive an old thread and post your question therein.

drex's job as a moderator is to keep this forum alive and helpful, and he's doing the job very well.

Besides, he as a forum member does earn a reputation of being very very helpful on all kind of topics.

It is true that people over here might not have the right to insult new members, but at least they have the right to tell who should be respected.

Well, I suppose you could have a muffler shop saw the OEM muffler off and weld one of these on, but if you do that, you might as well have a full custom cat-back exhaust made w/ mandrel bent piping.

If it is, then you wouldn't be able to use these tips. If the OEM muffler was redesigned to have a single outlet, then these might work. Honestly, the only real way to know if these would fit would be to D.I.Y. If you're not mechanically inclined, I'd suggest not doing anything until you can afford a real muffler replacement specifically designed for the w203.
