I'm just wondering because I've noticed that a lot of people are doing the dual exhaust swap, however I'm not quite sure how this will affect the performance on the C230 K SS.
For those of you who are experts/knowledgable on this topic, could you please post your thoughts/info/opinions?
If there are any other threads that I missed that you all feel would be helpful, please let me know.
thanks in advance.

In your case, on a I4, you're just spending money on an astetic mod.
I know a car with a chevy big block, custom headers and a giant 4" Y pipe. Why? Because after testing both true daul, H and X type configurations, the single pipe provided the best HP, and the most insane noise you ever heard.

Nice. Thanks for the info. You've actually confirmed what I was assuming, but just wanted people who were more knowledgable about it to tell me (instead of assuming that I knew).
Thanks again.

If they had used a single muffler, just like the c230, would the power have been less? My A4 is also a 1.8L, turbocharged tho, not super
thanks bro.

It has to split off after the turbo, so it isn't dual exhaust, but daul tips and muffers. Saying that, I don't know why'd they set it up that way. Are there two cats as well?

The Audi setup is not a true dual. Its just a Y pipe at the axle leading to two mufflers. Looks nice...does nothing but add weight.

exhaust exhaust exhaust !!!!
ok so i was siting down with my friends and we, was thinking about an exhaust to put on the c230ss im supposed to be getting and we came up with a couple of idea's
1'st is finding an exhaust from a C55 and installing it on the C230ss i would have to cut the other side of the bumper but that's ok. but i was wondering how the performance would be and if it's even possible
2nd is instead of going to go buy a an exhaust for 1k ..how about adding a flomaster or magnaflow exhaust to the car what would that be like ??
i don't think i like the 2nd idea but if it doesn't sound bad and i can save $600-$700 why not ?

There are a lot of exhausts available for the C240. If you do a search Im sure you can find some info or post what you want. I know I posted pics of my exhaust when I got it. I think I even had a sound clip.
