Some just install the X pipe. It is costly to change out the cats a mufflers. If you have the C Sport there is already some exhaust tuning.

I have Magnaflow cats on my V12, and can highly recommend them. Make sure the oxy sensors a correctly reinstalled. If not, the car can run too rich (causing buildup on the cats and eventually wont work) or too lean, which burns off the platinum catalyst.

koko is the man, best service with cheap prices, will definitely refer whoever needs an x pipe muffler or anything that has to do with piping he knows the c class from left to right, he's done so many of them

They got a little bit louder and dipper sound, once you get the x-pipe you’ll see the difference.

near 1000$

150 for x pipe
the tips cost me 135 for 4
diffuser 150
the muffler and the labor to install everything cost 450
then the brackets for the diffuser cost 70, i couldn't find anything cheaper and i just wanted to get it over with

so 955

the noise level is perfect when your gassing its very deep and sounds like a lot of power is waiting to be unleashed, but then when your in idle speeds its as quiet as stock

i went to super tuning and performance, the guy i went to his name is coco, he's a really chill guy. They have one of the best service of any shop i have gone to, with reasonable prices and he does a really nice clean job, he even painted my mufflers and piping so it isn't noticeable.

they're located in burbank, if you ever decide to go there make sure you say Jason referred you
