Finally! Got My Diffuser & Quad Tips Done
 
Ok gentlemen, am finally ready to present my latest mod: C63 diffuser and AMG quad tips! :p:

My kudos to Garage 5 at Bridgeport Road in Richmond on the excellent job.
If you want yours done, see Rob and Wayne.

The OEM SLK55AMG quad tips were ordered from AMGTestDriverNJ and are very high quality. The C63 diffuser came from TuneTime. Both provided me excellent service and wouldn't hesitate to continue doing business with them.

Thanks Azn_C300 for the compliment. Unfortunately, I didn't have my digital camera yesterday but I'll sneak under the car tomorrow and take photos.

Will post by this weekend.

Sounds like....VVVVAVAROOOM! Lmao.
Kidding aside, these are only the quad tips; everything else is bone stock....so there is no change in sound and the good thing is...no change in low end torque.

Did two complete AMG exhaust swaps before on C320 and E500 and won't do it again.....lost a bit of low end torque. :eek: The sounds were of course nice and well modulated, not rice.

The whole key to the success of this installation is finding a good speed shop with a lot a patience to fabricate the "Y" pipes and align the tips properly before welding them together. :bow:

The job took a good 5 hours to complete, but the result was well worth the wait and money. :y

Normandie4life 08-22-2008 05:29 AM

so how much did it cost you for the tips and insallin it

Devastator187 08-22-2008 01:00 PM

Looks great, how much did it cost you if you don't mind sharing the info.

benggolf 08-22-2008 02:47 PM

To answer your question Devastator187 and Normandie4life, the total cost of the diffuser & quad tips + installation came to C$1,260.00. :eek:
Expensive but like I said, the results was gratifying. :nix:

wow......

C63 diffusor replica $270
C63 quad tips $300-400
labor and some unknown charges $600-700

end result put a smile on your face: priceless

BUT, the parts should cost only about $500 to 600. Why did they charge you so much for the labor??? You can probably do the diffusor yourself in 20 minutes. So it's just the exhaust tips............ i think you got ripped off.:X

There's also the pipe alterations (Cutting, measuring, and welding + part) you're forgetting. That alone can be a couple hundred.

I knew there was labor for Y pipes.. but still.......... 600 to 700 for just the tips?!!! too much.
