The above mufflers are Magnaflows but they might be way too loud... But they are less than $150 each.......

 

Magnaflow is f***ing loud, not to mention the droning, you'll lose a bit of power down below but very decent gain at high RPM (at least from my butt dyno). Would it be possible to open up the magnaflow and stuff more sound deadening??

 

Sure, glasspacks like that are much cheaper, louder and provide the best performance but then you have to change the packing or replace the muffler when they packing is shot. There are a bunch of nice stainless mufflers on ebay for cheap, $50-75 and I've heard one on a Golf in my neighborhood and it sounded good but the problem is a constant drone at highway speeds that would drive most people bonkers. I did the quieter Magnaflows on my Suburban and it was soooo annoying, this constant hum all the time.

But consider that the MB muffler is tucked in pretty good and that will require custom mandrel bent tubing. You're going to spend probably as much making a generic muffler fit than it's worth. I think the generic Remus can be had for $289 if you own a mandrel bender and welder to make it fit. Here's a link to the generic Remus mufflers. Don't worry about the tip as it has to come off anyway to make it fit.

So,Mr.Buellwinkle,
basically that leaves the Schatz tip $100, Resonator removal and replaced with stainless pipe $100 for a total of $200-$250........Is this the least expensive quality set up for someone like me with 2 curved pipes angled down?

 

Get a big butch dodge truck... not a femmy small german car that's more like grandma coming down the ROAD if you want to make a loud SOUND. LOL

 

...

 

Drew, the tips would give the look of an aftermarket exhaust. Haven't heard what the car would sound like without the resonator but it's bound to be slightly louder. Back in my Harley days, I bought an aftermarket exhaust that was loud but I never really liked the way it sounded, just loud. My buddy took a 2" hole saw and went down the middle of his factory muffler. His sounded better and only cost $5.

 

I'm thinking about making my own custom quad exhaust. Does anyone know where I can get nice rolled twin exhaust tips, similiar in looks to the shatz or amg tips?

thanks,

answer: someone else's used Brabus, Carlsson, AMG, Lorinser, etc exhaust...you get the idea.

 

Your answer makes me think you have been hanging with Nicedeboy?
How often do you see used Exhaust for sale? You just want someone to wait like you are for your lights Misery loves company :p

 

c230_Ks is selling his used AMG exhaust...

 

You win this one Frank I think I am going to have my resonator removed and just add a tip or tips.Then get an exhaust after my rear lip is installed.

 

wat kind of rear lip??

do the 320 have the resonator? but yeah, take that off if you do. It should give you some extra grunt before you get the exhaust.

 

I assumed it has a resonator. I can't remember the last time I had a car that didnt.
As for the rear lip, I'm not picky so it will depend more on price.

 

just installed exhaust today.
it sounds a lot better than i expected.

sounds great...
hard to hear any change in idle.
but when u press the gas, u can definitely hear the deep tone sound...

 

Looks good and good to hear it sounds louder than stock with the V6, with the I4 it didn't sound that great.
