Finally Installed X-pipe on C300 (video link included)

finally I got it done.

I bought Magnaflow product. but didn't put it on right away.
I was worried about 'what if' the sound is too crazy and loud inside of car while driving.. but I gave it a try and installed it.

After installing it, I did not feel any, I mean any different in terms of performance of the car or feel of the car.

But the sound was different. I love the sound of the car.
It only shows when you floor it fast or hard. In normal driving condition you can't even hear the difference.

For the people who worry about sound being loud inside of car, Do NOT worry.
My wife didn't notice it. I can't even tell unless I floor it like mad man or going in tunnel.

Enough with word, just hear it from my clip on Youtube.

I was just wondering about this yesterday.
I've read about others having a raspy sound at start up.
Great video! Definitely going to do this mod now!

You will definitely get a raspier/poppier sound but only on cold starts. The initial high idle sounds really good but it calms down quite quickly.

Love it

Thanks for the vid wanchu. Sounds really good. I was thinking about getting it but worrying too that it would sound like a ricer or something. How much did everything cost you? Magnaflow was definately a good choice but did you consider getting a custom one made instead? Ahh I love it, now I really wanna get it too
