I know it looks like a 4x4 right now but I will be ordering some H&R coilovers when I get back from vacation I want to thank some people for helping me with never ending questions via PM MJ50, drexappeal and bensitto. I apologize if I forgot to name anyone, I cleared out my pm's a few weeks back.

Great choice and decision making! I'm sure it sounds great. I'm curious though, cuz your piping looks smaller than mine. I'm thinking that it may just be an optical illusion, but from looking at your pictures, your piping looks less than 2.5-2.75 inches in diameter (which seems to be the consensus size for all the sport model w203's).

I haven't had a chance to look at any other w203 piping so I couldn't say but it might be because I was zoomed out to get the whole picture. As for the sound clip, I will record one after its broken in. Right now it is so quiet you cant tell I have an after market exhaust.

Maybe you should get rid of the resonator or wait till it breaks in.

I kinda like it quiet but I am hoping mine will eventually sound like MJ50's. He has a sound clip posted somewhere.

That's how the Remus is at first. Then, once it has broken in it'll get a little louder. If it's not loud enough for you, you can always replace the resonator with a straight pipe (easy job for a muffler shop). I'm pretty sure Remus also has cat-back piping available.

Still looks very nice and solid choice of muffler!

Nice exhaust. I am curious though, did the tech weld the two pipes together or did he just use those two tie bands to complete the install?

There was no welding involved just the use of the two clamps. I was there for the install and out of the box it took less than 15 mins to mount.
