Sprewell racing mufflers

im on the market for a muffler and at the same time im not trying to pay 500 bucks for one either.. i really like RB tech mufflers and tips but they are still way pricey, but a friend of mine told me that sprewell racing sells mufflers with really nice tips as well so my quesiton is has anyone heard the muffler yet or seen the quality of them or there tips?

I didnt know they made mufflers?? I wouldnt trust them though. I saw someone post a pic here on how they installed the tires on a car backwards. Just buy someones use muffler if you want to save $$$. Or go get Remus I think they are cheaper, but Im not sure...

Im sure its worth a try, just dont have them install it on their own, you do it. But yes try to stay away from places like that. RBTech is also another bad place believe it or not, someone posted pics of how they used pounds and pounds of bondo to put a kit on an S-Class and how shoddy their work is. Very hard finding a reputable place.

I tried to check out their site but there wasn't much info...

Not sure what style you're looking for but MagnaFlo and Eisenmann make good performance mufflers, used Eisenmann's can be had, MagnaFlo's are cheap.

I am using DynoMax muffler + Magnaflow tip for my car since they are very cheap. My friend told me it's basically the same as MagnaFlo. It's very loud and noisy. I can even feel vibrations thru my butt after it warm up.

Don't want to bring you down but welcome to my HELL! I have had the C230 SEDAN since March and i've looked everywhere! Here is the deal everyone with a C240 C320 or C32 thinks/says oh I think it will fit its the same thing....well I talked to Remus and they said NO. I talked (actually went there) to Brabus and this what they told me:

"We thaought it was the same as the C320 and 240 we tried to put it on but it is DIFFERENT"

OK i hope they lied, and i'm wrong. If you find any exhaust (except Renntech which claims they have a catback for my car > I don't like the square tips) and/or muffler that fits (not someone thinks but someone knows for sure or has tried it) PLEASE let me know.

THANKS.

I've asked Brabus and Evosports to let me know if they got something or know for sure the other W203 exhausts fits my car.

P.S. Ben at Evoworks told me a great idea check with the dealer and ask them for the partnumber of the exhaust/muffler on the C230 and the C240 and C320 if they are the same then its the same freakin thing and it should work!!!! Of course i called my dealer ask them the part number and the dude put me on hold for 1/2 hour and then hung up....he mustta gone to germany to get the part number!!!!

Thanks for the feedback Yin-

I am ok with any vibration issues. I am counting CFM so, it's going to be install and dyno, etc... if there are performance issues, revise.

I don't know why people would buy Sprewell anything for thier cars.

Come on, would you buy basketball equipment from Mario Andretti?

I think not.
