Nope, don't get it. The muffler is too tight against the tips. Doesn't look right proportionally. Keep your existing exhaust unless you're going for dual.

Buy It!

I say buy it, engrave "AMG" on it, then sell it on ebay for $3,000...

exhaust drone question

ok i have just got a magnaflow muffler welded on my 06 c230 ss and now im noticing some drone on highway cruising speeds... i got the XL series and wondering if anyone else has the same issue... and any way of fixing them....?

i think the drone is present around 2k to 3k rpm and around 55 to 70 mph

newer SS models don't have a resonator, so you can install one to tone down the exhaust

You can always instal dynamat in the trunk. I did that for my stero install and it helped with the exhaust as well.

All W203s have 2 cats...older ones have a resonator after the 2 cats.
Looks like this:

When i did the custom dual with magnaflow, i found it that it was too loud so I took out the resonator that rlee shows above, and replaced it with the longer resonator. It tones down the noise more. So far, there is a bit of noise, but not that loud either.

Yup, i just did that recently. It helps to reduce the noise level.

Looks like this:


my '06 has the two cats just after the manifolds, the right around the rear passenger footwell there is a resonator that looks something like you have pictured, then just after that is the muffler.
