I am thinking about buying the high flow cat, there one for sale that's 2.5, but the coupes piping is 2 or 2 1/8. Would this help or hurt the performance? I am planing to do dual exhaust with a muffler where the resonator is with the pipes extending out to the tips. Thanks

Where to get Brabus Muffler for My C230?

Searched quite a bit and can't seem to find a good deal on a Brabus Muffler or Exhaust for my 2005 C230K Sedan. Any suggestions? Links?

Customer wanted us to post these pics up. I apologize ahead of time for the poor quality. The camera is amazing, the user is pathetic.


I think I just got a headache from uploading them...

Anthony,
What are you trying to show? Are there performance gains? Better sound? Just the look?

Thanks

ebay headers?

I have seen these headers on ebay for a while and just wondering if anyone has tried these out? The only others headers I am aware of are supersprints.

Should I even tried these or not?

Someone should let them know it doesn't work for the 05 since we don't have a 2.2 or 2.3... For a second I was like YES!, even though it is an eBay header... for about $200???

If Renntech was $200 I would go for it... But since I need both my kidneys right now, I think I'll stick with my stock spaghetti tube...

Any particular reason you need both kidneys right now? I've been in the market for one and if you're interested we can mock up some headers.

Those prices are tempting. Almost too good, particularly for stainless.

Some types of stainless are not as desirable as coated mild steel for daily drivers because it’s prone to cracking. Their tri-y design has proven worthwhile (on other engines at least – never seen them tested on a MB) at boosting mid range torque more than the typical 4-into-1 style.

Better would be to catch up with TVT_DESIGN to have them fabricate some for our chassis, IMHO.

they seem waaaay too good to be true right?

that said, people buy ebay headers all the time on e46 BMW's. They say that fitment is a little off, but it can be worked with. Too bad leggit headers cost soooo damn much

I would go with TVT and get a price and go from there. I may have them fab up some for me when I get the performance upgrade on mine from them
