In my opinion modification gives one the opportunity to personalize, The factory is in the business of appealing to the masses. Because of this AMG/kleemann/Brabus and renntech exists. The C-class is probably the most modified Mercedes Benz to date.

Went to local muffler shop, he stated he is willing to build and install for $150, but his is not stainless steel, believe he said aluminum? Shop is legit, nothing but good reviews. Do you guys recommend custom built? or just go Magnaflow?
When I said i was looking for a sporty growl not a rasp... he recommended not deleting mufflers if replacing resonators with x-pipe, of if i delete mufflers to leave resonator (no X-pipe)
What do you guys think?

I'll try and negotiate a lower price and get it custom built. If not, i'll go MF.
Thanks for the reply

DAMN videos dont do this justice... got X-pipe resonator delete and muffler delete as well>>> Here is my problem.. WAY WAY WAY too much DRONE for me, seriously i have a 30 min commute to and from work, and its unbearable. Should I put resonator back on leave mufflers off? or mufflers back on leave resonator off?

Yeah put the mufflers back. The resonator will give you minimal differences with BOTH mufflers off. Its a very nice growl with just the x pipe though no drone at all

'09 C300, mflow xpipe.
I understand where you're coming from.
With the resonators, when you're inside the car, it didn't sound too loud for me at first. Had to put the windows and go full throttle to appreciate the difference.
But it's better off this way. IMO, you don't want the mufflers off bc a Mercedes shouldn't sounding like a mustang. Put the mufflers back on, maybe look in to getting a cat delete? I'm sure somebody has done it on the forum. Idk if it voids the warranty or not though.

I just installed my xpipe and i must say it sounds great! The videos don't do this mod any justice. Must hear live to get the true effect. For anyone still debating on the xpipe mod, i'd say get it done asap! I have a 6 speed manual so it sounds extra nice!Attachment 200357
