'07 230 AMG exhaust sound?

For anyone who owns an '07 230/350 sport.... Do the AMG exhaust tips have a different sound than the '06 model exhaust? I know they're only tips, not sure if they did anything do the actual exhaust or not for '07. If anyone could post a clip of their stock exhaust I would appreciate it. Here's a vid of an '06 for comparison..thanks http://youtube.com/watch?v=0tw9xPyPkcA

is SOLD
the muffler should be the same. the 05-06 is really two tips turned into one. i think in 07 they just made a twin exhaust tip. it's definitely not an amg muffler. it should sound the same between 06 and 07.

Actually, to be honest, my neighbors just bought some and it does sound a lot deeper than the 05 and 06 models.

2007 C230!!
I have an 07. Coming from an 04, it is WAY deeper! I think it's throaty. My buddy has an E55 and he was impressed with the sound. When I stopped by his haouse, he said he heard my exhaust when I pulled up. It's not like a "true" AMG sound....but I have no intentions on ever changing it.

maybe the 07 amg exhaust is different!?

but I saw it at the dealers, it looks like just tips.


from 04-07, 04 is still I-4 SC, and 07 is V6 NA

and usually the V6 gives a louder growl

resonator is built into ur catback piping, theyll jus cut it out and weld ina straight pipe.

Right. I posted that link for comparison to a '07 with the AMG tips. Is anyone willing, or have the capability, to record a video of their '07 exhaust? We can make sure if there's a difference or not that way. thanks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jvl_rTMN3I I just found this on youtube. There isn't much of a difference, maybe slightly deeper on the '07?? Could just be from the different cams used to record the sound though The revving is towards the end of the vid.
