I'm thinking this is possible but is probably not the best idea. I just wanted to get some more opinions. I want to keep it sounding near stock if possible so why not experiment with the stock muffler? I have the tips that curve down. What i was thinking about was to get them cut right before the started to curve and welded a nice tip on one (the left) and on the other, weld on a pipe similar to that on the weltmeister and carlsson setups to the other side with a tip on it also. The only thing is that the tail pipes on the stock muffler are 2in, which would make that pipe going to the other end 2in. I'm thinking that won't be an issue since it's just the a tail pipe. I tried to do a little sketch up here to make things clearer:
In the end i'd like to end up with something like this:

Don't you have a Sport Sedan ?

can be done and has been done. I had a dual exhaust like that in your picture made last year before I got the weltmeister. Just go to a reputable shop so they don't *** up your car and knows how to trim your bumper for the exhaust tips.

Yea, i know you had it. It was a set up with an OBX muffler right? My only concern was using the stock muffler and the size of the pipe going to the other end. I wonder if i'd lose any flow with having an almost 90 degree angle coming out of one of the stock tail pipes.

Thing is, you don't need 2 mufflers to do a dual/quad split exhaust. The only w203 that has 2 mufflers is the C55 because of the need, not because of the looks.
It's pretty simple, if you go to a good muffler shop. The stock or even AMG exhaust muffler has 2 exit pipes coming out from the muffler. You use one as the left side and have the new tip attached/centered. With the internal exit pipe, you have the muffler shop custom make an extension pipe that will run across your back bumper with and make a custom hanger/bracket for the right side. It would be highly suggested that you have the right side exhaust hole cut prior to doing this.
That's it. Hardest part is finding a good muffler shop to do it.

Exhaust?
Hey all, I currently have some tips on the stock exhaust system of my C240, and was wondering what options I have modding it. I would like it to be louder, right now its...um...lacking, lets say, a nice throaty sound, but performance is also a concern. I have heard that if I do a real exhaust modification I would need to change the air intake system to compensate. Right now I am running K&N filters.
I dont know too much about modifying the car, so any information would help.
Thanks
