Yea bro, I just got it on few days ago. It helps me a lot out of the traction. This my first time driving in the snow tho.

My 2010 C300 got the first taste of winter and all season stock did pretty well. I tried goin fast just to see how it will handle fresh snow and how it will brake at the end it didnt disappoint me.

You come with me......and put the squeeze on them......

I'll get it done for sure if it's the same as what you paid, no problem.....but not what they originally asked me for.....

maybe they saw a Mercedes and said hey this guy has cash, let's hose him for all he has....LOL

What summer tires do you have, the low profile, on the AMG rims, or an all purpose all weather tire ?

the low profile tires on the AMG rims are not made for driving around with temperatures below 7 degrees, they become hard and you end up with no traction, plus you will wear them out real quick......swap them out for some snows and save the good tires for the warm summer months.....

I got the Pirelli one, not really sure which one I have. Since, I got them with my new rims a month ago I still never check its specific name.

I'm in the Bayview & Hwy.7 area (still driving around with Colorado plates, but not for long).

I'm thinking of getting the X-pipe done after winter. Nice to hear of the large presence in T.O.

I had to pay $270 for the x-pipe from Zorros because of the old guy.. my friend went back with his 63 a week after and got the younger manager and did his for $170, so I'd say $170 is the price to pay!

aowhaus, do you have a black car? I think i saw black C300 with Colorado plates at Richlane mall last week.. haha

Maybe we all show up at Zorro's one day, and say here, there are 10 of us here, we all want an X Pipe, and because so many of us are here, we get it done for 170 and not a penny more...

We are stronger in numbers.....LOL

im not overly concerned about cost as i am with the quality
zorro is a good shop, and they do quality work so paying a lil more then going other places is worth it.

I did my exhaust tips there too, and they got a good eye.

Zorros is good, but I just hated how differnt managers can give you differnt prices.. from $270- $170.

wai, you're getting quad exhaust? are you gonna keep your mufflers?

I just check with quick muffler. They told me it's about $80 if you have your own x-pipe. Anyway, I'm gonna have it installed tomorrow and will be back with the exact price.
