Hey guys new to the site...

I just bought my fiance a 06' C230 Sport and I am looking to put dual exhaust on it. Where do I get the AMG rear bumper or something similar???

Thanks,
Gino

Didn't the '06 come with the AMG body kit? I think mine did (an '05).
I know some on here just had the muffler shop cut the hole for the duel.

I had my exhaust done with my stock bumper. I had a body shop do the cut outs. Looks great. No need to waste money on a 55 bumper, unless you want to be 100% OEM, but then again I doubt you're gonna use a real 55 exhaust ($$$) so.... here's a pic to show my bumper

That looks sick!!!

You really just cut the factory bumper????

Yeah, ours has the amg sport apperence package...

billbugger

That, and i believe he also painted/vinyled part of it black.

dbvolz

Correct. I vinyled the little "dimpled" part of the bumper with some flat black vinyl. I have to say, it looks awesome. Totally changes the car. I just got the tails tinted too, so its even better now. I will post pics ASAP.

I just found some 5" AMG oval tips what do you think about dual ovals???

I originally wanted to go with dual ovals like ROLNNN has on his setup. However, my muffler shop didn't have a mandrel bender so I couldn't use those. Personally, I wouldn't put AMG tips on a non-AMG car. Looks out of place. I got four Borla tips that, as you can see, seem to fit nicely. Ultimately though, its your car and your decision. I just think its wierd to see AMG but hear louder 4cyl. you know?

G-NOTE

Yeah I hear you on the bite off the AMG stuff, but I'm not going to put badges on it or anything like that jus like the amg stamp...

I had alot of Dinan on her E36 but I never tried to pass it off as a real Dinan car...

Just performance Names that tie to the manufacturer...

Also mines a 6 cyl why would it sound like a 4 cyl ???

dbvolz

Yeah but were they Dinan tips on a UUC exhaust? You see where I'm coming from? I mean, do what you want, I'm not hating. I just think it's out of place. If it were a full AMG exhaust I could understand. It's not like you can just buy AMG stuff to put on the car like you can buy Lorinser or Carlsson. To each their own though...
Ooops, didn't see you had a 2.5L C230.

G-NOTE

Yeah man I got what your saying but they really don't make a nice dual setup for these cars so I have to fab...

But I am going to use a S55 AMG muffler single in/dual out and plumb it like roll'n did...

I think your bumper looks great!

dbvolz

Gotcha. I hope your project works out for you. Make sure to post pics when you're done!

Glyn- Thanks!

I have AMG tips on mine. Keep in mind though that the 07 sport models came with AMG tips stock. So do various other non AMG MBs.

dbvolz

Really? Wow, never noticed that non-AMGs actually had the "AMG" stamped in the tips. Now that you mention it though, I think I remember seeing some like that. I guess then AMG tip away my friend. Consider my statement a pre 2007 one...

billbugger

My stock tip has the amg logo stamped on it and mine is a 2005 K

dbvolz

That's wierd my stock pipe didn't have that...

G-NOTE

Ok tips ordered got a muffler off a cl63 right side....

I know, I know, where did I get the muffler???

My buddy own European Legacy Motors here in Houston, Tx....

G-NOTE

Wow the CL muffler is way loud...

I might as well be running no muffler...

going to look at Kleeman or eisenmann muffler...

I need a single 2.5" inlet dual 2" outlet

hey dbvolz where did u get ur exhaust done, i have the same 05 c230k ss and i was looking everywhere for the quad tips, who had done it for you, and how much did it cost you,

dbvolz

I had my exhaust done in FL before I shipped the car out west. The shop that did it was less than professional so I ended up with a bootleg style exhaust. Don't get me wrong, it looks and sounds great, its just not as efficient as say ROLNNN's is. I paid around $400 with the Borla tips included. I actually need to find a shop that can correct some of the issues with my exhaust and make it better. Let me know if you know of any shop. I see you're in OC, I'm staying in Newport Beach at the moment so see you around!

ROLLNNN

If you're willing to head out to LA, give AAA exhaust a call. They can do the quad setup for you. They have a few different quad style tips you can choose from.

alpha.benz

wow that looks VERY nice..
how much did it run you? i live in the same area and will definitely look them up.

SickSpeedMonte

True story, I noticed that the other day on my '07 2.5L C230

ROLLNNN

Thanks, it was in the neighborhood of $575 cant remember the exact cost. I have more pics of it in my thread. If you want to check it out, just search for my screen name. AAA exhaust does the dual/quad setup a couple different ways. My way was the cheaper of the 2.
