Do you happen to have a video/sound clip of that Magnaflow? I was thinking of getting an exhaust but I'm sketchy on if it'll sound too raspy... prefer the deep subtle sound. Car looks clean all the same.

Let me try to post a video of it. I'm just out of the country right now. i'll post it on the 14th when i get back.

To tell you honestly, it's not rapsy at all. it's deep and subtle. That was the first thing i considered before getting it. I actually got mine used from a member here, and i'm very happy with it because it's looks OEM, and it's not the ricey type.

But if you just want an idea of it...i did some searches for you..it's sounds about the same as this two:

I'll update mine when i get back

"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
I did flowmaster 50 series delta flow with my 06 c230... which sounded great, however I ended up removing the 2nd set of "cats" (mine were just resonators) and the main resonator before the muffler, and it was waaaaayyyyyyyyy too loud. it was never ricey, but friggin A, I had no peace driving it ever again, nor did anyon next to me

NEW UPDATES..WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

I just got back from my trip, did a few photo shoots of my orders.

What do you guys think? Too much CF going on? I like the trunk lip a lot...fitment is perfect from Gary...roof spoiler not 100% but it's fine by me. I didn't tape them on yet,

If i decide to keep both, i wanted to paint the trunk lip..if I loose the roof spoiler, I'll keep the trunk lip CF and match it with a diffuser instead.

Anyone interested in buying my roof spoiler just in case? This is brand new from Gary, but i'll sell on discount.

Installed my city lights as well by AZN..

Planning on debadging "c230" only, then blacking out my other stock grill, and body color my reflectors..next to come

Comments welcome!

Looks good man.
Did you ever tape anything on? Im glad to know the fitment of the trunk lip is spot on, but how big is the gap between it and the third brake light?
The roof spoiler isn't a personal fav of mine. But I do enjoy looking at your car since we share the pewter in common! I have a love/hate relationship with CF, but I'll admit it does accent pewter nicely.

Thanks for the comment....no not yet (tape), the trunk lip is spot on. i'm very happy with it. no gap for me whatsoever. i will probably not install the roof spoiler and sell it on discount when i get back next week. not to happy with the fitment and looks like too much cf going on.. i'll just order a diffuser instead.
