If it's clogged, the sound will be different. If it's rusting on the inside, it's just a sign of bad wear and tear and the muffler won't last you long before it starts rusting all over.

Exhaust

Hi,

I will be looking for a set of quad exhaust soon
so, what are my options.

I know there is carlsson and Weltmeister.
but not sure about the price and where to get one.
Also, I am thinking about custom it, but If I want something close to stock, like it quiet, what should I do.

any suggestions??

thanks,
Michael

you named 'em already...

since you're in LA, there's this one custom shop that I've seen with pretty decent work: http://www.aaaexhaust.com/

hell, even evosport can do it too (I've seen them do it to a CLK55 with a single dual exhaust)!

performance products is a sponsor and I'm pretty sure they sell the Weltmeister. Install should be easy for a muffler shop.

I'd assume that the Carlsson will be more expensive than Weltmeister.

I heard that their is no real difference between the Weltmeister and Carlsson only the tips. You may want to check with FrankW I know he did his homework on it. IMO exhaust is exhaust performance wise since nobody can prove one better than another. They are really only for show and tone.

Well it's not really "dual exhaust", it's just looks, but not a true dual exhaust. And in fact, it's "quad-look" exhaust.

There is someone who got a custom "dual" exhaust look (w/ single exit on both sides). I believe they used oval tips also.

Okay yeuchau, I cut you a little slack because you've been posting on here for a while, but enough is enough. I'm merging your post with the 7 other quad exhaust threads I found just SEARCHING! Yes, that's correct folks. I did an advanced search, highlighted the w203 forum, and used the keywords: quad exhaust

OMFG, In fact, you started a freakin' dual exhaust thread a while ago too Do you feel the need to start a new thread about dual/quad exhausts everytime you think about it?

white and whiter
the Carlsson is a little less noisy then the weltmeister. some say it sounds similar to the stock AMG, but deeper with the Carlsson. There are quite a few people with the Carlsson quad setup here actually. They just don't post that much.

you can find my weltmeister exhaust clip on youtube of course. with the resonator on. i haven't record one without the resonator, but few people have heard it.

if you are looking for something thats quiet to almost stock like, you can find a used 05-06 sport exhaust and have the shop cut off the tip and make some custom ones with extention pipes goes to the passenger side.

I had one done before I got the weltmeister at a shop called Speedway muffler. They're in Rowland Heights. I'd give u their number, but I lost their card.

Actually, Frank, you don't even need to chop off the chrome tip. It's actually mounted by 1 screw and behind it are dual tips. You can have a muffler shop weld piping onto one of the tips flowing behind the spare-tire (in front of the bumper) and exiting the passenger side of the bumper. have a cutout done on your stock bumper and you're set.

Okay, so I suggest you look through the twenty million quad exhaust threads I merged. I'm sure there is some good information in there, considering some of the threads date back to 2002/2003!

In order to get this exhaust to work with any w203, there are so many things that would need to be done that it's not worth the money. Plus, the c55 quad exhaust is a true dual exhaust specified for a v8 engine. The piping won't work for any other w203 w/ exception to the c32 and even the C32 people have to do major modifications (i.e. change the spare tire well, buy the piping, etc...). Only one I have seen do it is no longer on the forums (or no longer posting).

yeah i agree...for the price of the C55 exhaust (over $2K) you could get a louder and nicer one

It depends on what brand you get. Go in there and talk to them. They will let you listen to any muffler you want before the installation is completed.

They turn your car on rev it with the mufflers connected.
You can go through a list of mufflers till you find the right one. Be ready to spend at least $300 minimum (at leastttt!).

They do a very clean job. They can make dummy quads, dual, single..etc..you name it, and be sure to get your resignator delted if you want a deeper sound.
