and Javvy,
dont be turned off by the fact "flowmaster" is kinda synonomous with "american". the techology and engineering that goes into designing the baffles are second to none for a universal application.

Would that Flowmaster 50 Delta series still sound like a low rumble in low RPMs for a 1.8L? Obviously it won't sound the same as a 3.5 or anything, but I want something a bit more aggressive than stock but I don't want anything ridiculously loud at all.
Edit: Forgot to mention, how would I go about getting tips to fit that that look like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AMG-M...#ht_3054wt_939
Since it'll replace the turn-down pipes, how would I deal with that?

The way the baffles are designed, it dos a nice job eliminating interior resonance, rasp, and high-pitch 'rice' revs. Obviously it wont be as low of a tone as the 3.5 or even the 2.5, but I do believe you'll be much happier with it over a straight through design like magnaflow, which doesnt descriminate against any sound waves, good or bad.
as far the tip, your exhaust shop will have a nice selection to choose from. even one that splits in two if you so desire. otherwise, be sure to find a tip that can fit the exit diameter of the muffler, which is a single 2.5" pipe

Thanks for the reply cpbeasley.
My main concern is making the new muffler fit in place of the stock one, and still being able to have a tip showing like the one in the link I posted without having to do any modifications to the bumper.
Has anyone put that muffler in the non-sport trim w203? I'd rather not get stuck in a situation where one or the other won't fit.

I have an flow master on an 03 c230k. I like the low sound on start up.Sound more like an V than an 4banger. Not too loud but you can hear it coming down the street. The sound is about as low as an G35 coupe on start up.

Funny that you mention the G35 spring. One of my favorite sounding cars out there, so thats what I like to hear, haha.
Thanks again for the helpful replies. This site never fails.

for the OP.. magnaflows sound really nice on 2.5s
not so much the smaller engines but that's just me. kept my resonator in and it has a nice growl at start up and low rpms and then opens up real nice as i hit it.

As I replied to SS above, any exhaust shop can fab up a solution. I realise some of you have little to no experience with exhaust work, but just let them take care of it. They can weld additional piece of piping, change up the mounting a little... compensating for the muffler sitting a little higher than the bumper cover is absoloutely not a hang up.

The shop I went too let the tip hang like an 05 c230k. I dont like my tip, he only had plan ones. Been lurking for an 05 tip,but havent found one yet.My friend told me that my tip look like its from an Ford f250. I told him next time I'll use a coffee can.

i heard them on bmw e46 3.0L engines. a little different tone, but similar enough exhaust displacement. they should have universal mufflers you can use too. search for them on e46 330ci or M3. probably my favorite exhaust sound for the e46 M3 too.

Alright well the snow is just clear enough I should be able to take a vid of me accelerating without spinnin on a patch of snow and dying. Ill get one by tomorrow latest, scouts honor!
And my dearest dingleberry Karo, I removed main res at same time as flowmaster and noticed no SOTP loss of low end. As we discussed, our low end is a little lackluster (im still blaming the gearing for not helping that fact at all), but it by no means got worse. +1 to the baffle design

Flowmaster 50 series delta, res delete
shot with little samsung click and shoot, poor sound quality but regardless it is by no means loud/obnoxious, just a well mannered and reserved throaty sound. I expect it to go quite nicely with headers & cat delete.
finally here you guys go

p.s. yes it was an iced road: que the fishtail, ESP and subsequent lapse in throttle
