Thanks Frank, but we have super speed bumps in my neighborhood and I would hate to replace my kit every year I think after the coilovers and some minor upgrades like sway bars I might be done with the car.

Muffler: 506000 0506
Round tip 90mm

Distance valve/clamp: ad0014?
You will need the valve if you do not wish to get the midpipe. I cant remember the part number off the top of my head.

Midpipe: 506000 0300
Replaces the factory cat

I got the muffler and valve for little under 600. I acutally purchased the universal but it did not fit my car and had to return it.

Looking SHARP! Like the REMUS.

You should come out to a GTG on Friday night in Rockville.
What Carlsson wheel set-up do you have? staggard?

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Valve? Exhaust Valve? What the heck is that?
Not welded? Shoulda just got it welded.
Clamps and sheeite like that never work in the long run.

Any muffler shop can take it off and put it back stock for 50 bucks.

I have the coupey Remus, which is very short, since the coupe has little space. It has a low rumble when I'm in drive at idle,
and is quiet, unless you get your foot into it, then it howls! It'd be nice if there was more space to fit a longer muffler, a little lower tone.
Still, a 4 banger won't ever sound like a V8.

Might be downtime issues, we will move to a new server in the coming days to cope with the traffic and a new, sleeker design.

I bought mine from a west coast distributor. Maybe you can be the first to try out our new sponsor.

I have had a brief chat with Avans and he actually bought it from MimoUSA, a distributor that does not sell to the public, we suspect he got it at wholesale pricing.

I initially ordered mine from MimoUSA and had to return the product. They sent me the wrong one and the refund process was a pain in the butt.

Dam skippy eh? He he....
A muffler should never cost so much.
But the price didn't go up as much as the dollar went down.

A few years ago gold was 275 an ounce, oil was 20 a barrel, and the dollar was king. Now we got gold at 600-700+ an ounce, oil at 50-70+ a barrel, and it's the dollar being in the toilet thats to blame. Nothing but debt. No assets.
Meanwhile the goverment will tax us for 'making' money on things that haven't devalued, and well you get the idea. Just bend over and take it like a good 'merican.

If things weren't so f'd up we'd be getting Remus mufflers for 200 bucks new.
And the C Coupe would still be available. Maybe.

Maybe if I got the whole system I might see minimal gains but with just the muffler I doubt it. It sounds great and looks a lot better than stock.

I don't know much but couldn't you have taken the resonator out and bought new tips to do the same thing as the Remus? Just my thoughts.

There is a lot that goes into the high prices of our mufflers.
The strong Euro, weak USD, importation from Austria, duty fees, build process, quality of materials, etc.

Benzoc230k, the answer to your question is no.
Beautiful car btw.
