it is lighter weight than the stock cats. with regards to passing inspection, the O2 sensors may need to be moved to prevent CEL but it should pass emissions.

with regards to improvment, i'm not sure as i have never installed them. perhaps someone could chime in on this. i wouldnt imagine seeing more than 5-7 whp though i could be wrong. depends on the car and mods

How much for the other one?

jturkel

im asking 140 if you buy both or 75 for one. includeS shipping within continental US.

BigBodyBenzC240

Do these have the set up for the O2 sensor like in the primary cat?

jturkel

replacing the primary cats should throw a CEL. so the O2 sensor will need to be moved to fix this. an exhaust shop should know how to do this

jturkel

one cat is sold! there is one left!

Where does the 02 sensor get moved to in order to prevent the CEL?

I have a 2002 C230 Sport Coupe. Do you know what my stock diameter piping is? I'd like to see if this would fit.

I'm pm'ing some dudes to see about getting an answer.

i'm not sure where it gets moved, but exhaust shops should know.

2.5' should work for your car. the other cat i sold, went to a C230 SS as well.

C230 Sport Coup

Ed, you want the 43000 series which is for "LEV" (Low emission) & California vehicles.
Thats what I have and I passed smog.
There's other Universal models that look the same but aren't designed to the same spec, and ie you may not pass.

I paid 300 installed in San Jose at Michael's Mufflers on Pearl Ave.
The 02 sensors aren't effected as the piping is cut between the mounting points.

Stock piping is 2". Magnaflow pn is 43004 though mine has the 43006 which is 2.5", but I think thats just because that what the guy had in stock at the time. (43005 is 2.25")

Check your email for more detailed info.
I didn't want to completely hijack the thread.
But you want the hi efficiency one for Cali if you care to pass smog.
Not sure about other states.

What's the pn of this one for sale?

Don't make it louder. It sounds good as it is. Nice meeting you today (at HMS). One of the cleanest W203 I've seen.

Yeah, ill be keeping it the way it is, i don't want to go too loud....

Good meeting you too... Thanks man, your E is looking good too, will be sick with the E63 kit... and if you change your mind that Alderla kit is

Rey - What's up, pare? I see you got rid of the 2005 to get a e350? Nice.

RDSBENZ

What's up Drex? How's Jose?

Yeah, I had an accident with my C230K SS ($3K damage)and MB of Laguna Niguel took it as AS-IS as trade-in for my 06 E350. I do miss my C230 especially when I saw ROLLNNN.

I was calling you the other day to ask who installed your AMG brakes but I guess you changed your number. I'm putting AMG CLS55 brakes on my car next week. Serg at HMS is doing it for me.

While I'm waiting for funds for my E63 facelift, I had Pepe @ AAA install tips.

Anyways, nice to hear from you again, Pare. See you in the next meet. Maybe Jose can take some cool pictures of my car. I tried.

Im gettin my exhaust done sometime in the next two weeks, but I got a quick question and need some advice. Ima be doin a custom catback exhaust wit a magnaflow muffler and dual tips, one on each side.

I'm unclear as to what the "best" piping is for the best airflow. There are two options that I see I could go:

1. https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...3&d=1207145364
2. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/7990/dsc0038bn4.jpg


is there a better setup between the two?

ROLLNNN

I wouldn't do it that first way you posted. You might want to consider something similar to the link below, but with the piping done up higher, so it doesn't sit so low. I know AAA would want to do it this way, and im sure they would make the piping fit in there perfectly. The muffler is behind the 2nd cat, with piping ran on both sides of the spare tire holder...

Yeuchau, i hope you don't mind me posting, i found this pic on your thread....

rocafel1a

Yo Roland, going with whatever setup will not really "change" the sound of the exhaust right?

drexappeal

Um, the 1st one I remember because the guy went to a shop that said it wouldn't make a difference. Then he proceeded to tell us he was having airflow problems and without a doubt it's because of how the piping was done. The airflow is going back and forth and the muffler isn't designed to go both ways...LOL.

#2. If you really, really want to get it done right, just go to AAA in Los Angeles. Ask for Pepe, he'll make sure it's done right for you at a very reasonable price.

drexappeal

Not necessarily. Pepe did mine like the 2nd pic the OP posted.

That's how all the pre-made aftermarket (dual exit) mufflers are (e.g. weltmeister, carlsson).
