thanks everyone. it sounds great (deep). not loud & ricey (although my wife noticed the new muffler).

FrankW: didn't realize that flexibility, thanks

white_w203: can't find one cheap (pretty stingy on this side)

AdamVax: will add photos on my link (hopefully, soon)

OnLun9: clearance sale for $400 (installed)

BigJohnny: had the springs installed for $100, thanks for the business

kiketron: how do i do that?

got the Brabus exhaust. i actually got the muffler and the resonator (mid pipe). sounds slightly deeper. only problem was trying to fit the damn pipe through the single opening of the AMG rear bumper. other than that it looks great. will post picture sometime this weekend.

new mods: Super Street Tein Coil Overs, full Brabus dual exhaust, painted black grill

So did you cut you AMG bumper to get it fit? And did you get the angled tip or straight tip?

After seeing the pics, I don't think Carlsson can fit 05 AMG rear though....The gap between the tips is a bit wide

I believe it feels that way because the tip wraps inward.

the AMG bumper for the C32 should have enough opening for the Carlsson exhaust

But the AMG bumper for non-AMG C-class has smaller opening.......

check www.thewheelsupply.com (there's also a lot of info here in the forum).

though it's brand new, i think it's a clearance item (that's why it's a little cheap). it's not the complete exhaust system, just the muffler (Carlsson PN: 18 33 0150) and tips (Carlsson PN: 18 33 0171).

I dislike the wheels, but the rest is fantastic!
Would love to hear the Carlsson exhaust. Is it possible for you to upload a soundfile of it?

pics of exhaust on 05 c230 or amg rear bumper

i've been having my remus exhaust for a while now and haven't put it on yet because the dual tips are pretty huge and require modifying the bumper because of the amg style rear bumper.

i was wondering if people had pics of exhausts with an 05 c230ss or c32 amg rear bumper??? so i could see what it would look like.....

has anyone modified/cut/shape their bumper for an exhaust???

right now im contemplating whether or not to sell the remus exhaust or not because of this. thanks for your help guys.
