So, I don't mean to shoot you down or anything and I know you were trying to make a point, but make sure your point is completely valid.
Either way, it makes no difference to me. You chose the exhaust for particular reasons. Be happy with it and if people don't like how it sounds, don't get defensive about it. Just let it go. Not everybody has to like your exhaust.

drex, remus is austrian right? thats what i herd... but I also thought remus and sebring was a diff company, i knew sebring made the mb exhaust
some people i know say the eisenhaust exhaust goes better on the V6s, and some members here got the remus on the I4s just like c230 did, I think both type exhaust has its unique sound, unlike a rice rocket muffer (just like on that 05 maxima i flewlast night) and i think Soc's exhaust sounds sick... I've never seen a remus live, but hey, im going for REMUS!!!!

you'll find guys who will automatically scream rice at any 4 cylinder with a muffler and those who will appreciate higher end cars with higher end parts. you'll find guys who find inexpensive ways to pull off (nearly) the same things, and guy's who will swear theres no replacement for displacement.
opinions are everywhere, as are points of view and someone people convery things stronger than others- the point is- its the internet- nothing you do or say could effect anyone other than you, and someone who mean prettymuch squat on the other end. if he died tomorrow, you'd never know....its just a waste of time- try to take things with a grain of salt.

Check Engine Light
I just had my Check Engine light come on as well. If you read the manual, the car goes into "limp home" mode when this is triggered. I drove it home and then turned the car off/on 4-5 times and let it warm up some. On the fifth start the light went away.
I suspect bad gasoline, but to be sure, I followed the only possible troubleshooting (start car 4-5 times). I didn't have a loose gas cap either, but lucky for me it saved a trip to MB Service. Very cool that the light turned itself off and the car drives just fine now.

Sorry for the video clip. It seemed the site was going thru some upgrades and had some configuration problems. It's working fine now. Here's the link again:

Basically, Remus and Sebring products are exactly the same. You tell me if you notice the "uncanny" resemblance in their products:

Update on muffler modification
I had a tuning shop redo the muffler because it was sticking out too far. I had them move the tips inward about 2" so now it looks much more flush. I also bought new rubber hangers to lift up the muffler and center the tips. I'm happy on how it looks now. Thanks for all your advice, guys!

I'd have it trimmed so that the top is flat, then rounded on the sides so your tips are surrounded by the rear cutout. If this is done right, you can probably even have the exhaust pushed up more to look less like it's hanging down below the bumper. But if you like it, that's the main thing!
