I don't think so, at least I haven't seen any.

Though it does look like everyone's exhaust seems to be a sebring muffler with their own tips and price increase, of course.

Anyone know if Brabus' exhaust is same basic setup?

Of course, if anyone had dynos, that'd be great too.

Yeah they are. the same thing with the E46 bimmers. I think Dinan changes some variable in the ECU to make throttle response quicker. Wish someone would do that for the coupe, but not charge $1K

You'll just need to increase back pressure by adding a pulley kit. The additional boost will cause more pressure for the new muffler to contain

Im considerin an asp as SOON as they have them IN stock so i dont have to wait too long. I know i kno i can order now and just get it to order, but its not the same feeling as jsut waiting and buyin it off the shelf. will give me time to see if there is ANY problems with the new cool steel hub design. It looks very strong and I anticipate good from it.

Thats my plan

2003 c230k
2003 exhaust upgrade and quickly

ok... driving in brooklyn at about 130am...

i hit a road hazzard that ripped my exhaust right out the back, blew out my rear tire and popped a hole in my gastank. YES I KNOW... good thing im alive. I have said it many times but i need to move forward. If i am replacing the exhaust i want to go better. I dont know if any other people heard the c230k's for 2003 but i own one and i havent heard it yet. Im not looking for loud but i wouldnt mind a lil sound if i could get a few more ponies.

the 2003 IS different from the 2002 as far as exhaust from what i hear. ANY info. is good info as long as your sure its right.

I am pretty much positive that the 02, and 03 muffler is the SAME. I have a REMUS exhaust on my car. I am from north NJ, its not too loud, and I got it directly from a CEC from KMAN on this message board.

I had a renntech exhaust at one point, didnt bolt it up beacuse the tips requried me to cut around the bumper a half inch. It is the SAME muffler as the remus, just different tips. I heard this is the case with the kleemann exhasut too.

They all just make a hummm, and a deep low end sound. I dont expect any hp increase out of my Remus exhaust, but tahts not why I bought it. Looks great sounds good, doesnt annoy me when I dont want to hear it

good luck

P.S Eisennmenn make exhasut for oiur car www.eisenhaus.com

They have some loud race muffler if u want the noise.


Expect to pay around 500 for a new tuner muffler, i was shocked at the price lol

Just about. I dont think Evosport makes their own exhaust but they can get all the others you mentioned.

how does carlsson quad exhaust work?

is it two seperate mufflers or is it just one with more piping to branch out to the other side. if it is two, is it possible to buy left side first and then add right side?

Exhaust sounds

Is there a website where I can listen to the different aftermarket exhaust tones offered for the c320?

post pics of entire quad exhausts

i'm thinking about having someone customize a quad exhaust for me out of my stock muffler. if anyone could give me some pics of how the piping is done, under the car, it'd be great. or any pics of just the muffler and pipes itself, before installed.

Maybe this will help.

http://reswest.com/203exhaust.htm

It appears to be T'd before the muffler (and only has one muffler). This might work well, since according to Buell, the sound wasn't too loud without any muffler. I assume that you would get more flow through the side w/o the muffler, but I don't know how much (40%/60%, 25%/75%?). Pretty interesting idea, though...

The straight portion after the "T" behind the spare-tire well looks like a glass-pack. Notice how the pipe thickens and then gets narrow again.

I don't know much about exhausts but wouldn't having a second exhaust coming out from the right-rear of the car create some sort of back pressure? The reason I say this is when I look at the photos, I see that the piping that comes from the main exhaust is long, winding, and narrow. Wouldn't that take longer and more effort for the exhaust gas to come out?

No, the Sedan has a much longer overhang, and a completely different rear fascia design.

Xeon's car rocks!
