Headers, 3" pipe to an OEM exhaust would definitely yield significant increases..... Stealth is nice too....

if u want just a nice deep tone just get a remus or since u have the m272 (v6) engine just do a resonator delete.

Mercus

Resonator delete sounds interesting.....

drexappeal

Basically, it's just taking out the final resonator (pre-muffler) and welding on a straight pipe.

yeuchau

07 c230 is gonna be slow, but looks good, since it has the amg bodykit and rear spoiler
wut color did u get??

Mercus

^What honest gains, if any, does this result in?

drexappeal

Most likely none. That's just for sound. The piping doesn't increase in diameter, it's just taking out another sound baffling mechanism, really.

Mercus

^Merci beaucoup. I was sure that there would be no gain in resonator deletion other than maybe a 1HP through minor backpressure reduction.

i did the resonator delete and it amps sound about 15% sounds throaty around 2,5k-4k and gets loud at redline.

ctC230K

if you don't want loud, stay away from eisenmann race. although i do love the sound now that i've gotten used to it!!

you're from montreal? where were you on new year's weekend? i was up there haha, awesome city, i am already planning a return trip!

Any time you come up, let me know and we'll go clubbing. The after-hours scene here is insane. Best nightlife in North America.

I don't remember much of New Years!

Mercus - No offense, but what the hell are you doing with a C230?? I mean, on one hand you're driving a $90K car (the SL500) and then a car 1/3 the price, just curious - I thought as a sedan you'd drive something more... I don't 'SL-like', even if you liked the C-Class, at minimum a C55.

Just curious, it's a big variation in car selection - one of the most expensive Benz and the most affordable, that's why I ask.

Actually, the SL500 was $114,000 when I bought it (first year) and it is paid for with only 37,000 miles on it.

The C230 is paid for by the company I work for, the most car I could fit into my monthly car allowance. Plus, it's much better than a BMW 330 (I hate the way they look, damned ugly), gets great mileage and has the 7-speed.

The SL500 is still in Cali (I'm going to wait until summer to ship it here) and will never be driven in the snow....

tee_tz

Oh okay. Wow, $114K for a SL500, that's a lot for the 500, perhaps you got a lot of options.

Oh and I'll correct what you said: "Plus, it's much better than a BMW 330", actually a C230 isn't better than a BMW 330 in any category, except the one that varies from person to person: looks, but then beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

You must miss your SL a lot! (Performance and status wise).

You are right about the 330, yet for me I just can't get around the styling. Doesn't work for me. Still, I love the way the C230 looks, rides, accelerates and handles. Great bang for the buck. Plus, it has so much potential. Have you seen some of the rides here? With a blacked out grill, C32 bumper, and 18" wheels, this car is gorgeous!!!! Plus, the tranny makes traffic a breeze and I love shifting it manually (will get the steering wheel with paddles soon enough).

I do miss the SL though. With its ported and polished heads and intake, it accelerates like a God. Handling is incredible and the look is perfect. It's a keeper. I will likely never get rid of it. BTW, it was so expensive because it was the first year offered and the demand was through the roof. Many paid over $125,000 (Newport Beach FJ Motorcars sells more Mercedes than anyone in the world) just to get it. I was lucky because my family had purchased so many cars from there over the years (my dad had an AMG Hammer in the 80s) so I paid only slightly more than the asking price. All options for sure too.

I KNOW, I live one hour from NYC and I have to say I liked Montreal better!! I went to a 14 hour rave on New Years Eve, it was at the Bell Center, called Resolution 2007 with DJ Tiesto and a bunch others. The party didn't end until after 11AM, it was really nuts.
Also while I was there I went to club 737, it's on top of a skyscraper supposedly the highest building in the city and it had beautiful 360 degree views. And Hurley's Irish Pub was a really good time also!

advans

dammit. these few days, ive been day dreaming abt a eisenmann exhaust... darn I might end up getting it. and selling my remus.


but...i'm also awaiting the day I can finally find a quad exhaust amg bumper for coupes on german ebay. then a custom magnaflow setup would be done.

ctC230K
