c230k exhaust question

2 days ago i installed an exhaust on my 2003 c230 kompressor coupe..
i coulden't find a muffler that fit..so i cut the muffler off and welded on a custom pipe and some tips on its spot... i also cut off the middle muffler just after the resignator and put a round Magnaflow race muffler... so now i have no end muffler just tips and a magnaflow race muffler were the stock middle muffler was... ( IS THIS OKAY ? ) would this be street lligal?
SOUNDS GOOD....

How much did you pay for the full job? Looks hot man

Sorry I can't help with the topic at hand, I don't know what your laws are regarding emissions systems.

....

theres a Catalytic converter then a resonator then a middle muffler or second resonator and then the end muffler with the tips...
I removed the second muffler/resonator and the rear muffler and put a Magnaflow round race muffler on the spot of the second muffler/resonator and a pipe with tips were the rear muffler used to be...
Does anyone know if this is okay.. would it be street lligal?

Listen to me and now and believe me later, I quit!
I am the resignator.

That actually sounds pretty good. And a lot less expensive than trying to source one of the few mufflers that fit in the allocated space.
I never heard of a 2nd resonator.
Be sure you didn't delete the cat.

Good job!
