So I finally got the quad exhaust installed, had tint done as well.
Got the X-Pipe and 19" rims.
Gonna get ECU tune next summer.

[IGNORE]
One problem. My exhaust is too loud!
In the cabin i dont mind it what so ever, but the G/F thinks its way to loud and gets annoying when having to drive in traffic (stop and go)
Any easy quick way to just make it a bit quieter?
[/IGNORE]

I did just get them installed this morning. Maybe after a month of driving will they get quieter?


Now time to go take pics.

The Car is DIRTY!, cause it just rained and still is.
ill post up the video and pics now, but will update this thread once i get it cleaned and waxed.

BRB!....



Okay forget what I said about the loudness, im an idiot
IT WENT AWAY ?????
What the F*CK, lol
Like really it was getting a bit annoying to me as well, and I wanted to go super loud lol
but now it went away. Ill check under the car for bad welds, but
its all good now!

A c300 with xpipe and quads is not loud in any aspect. Either dump the girl or man up. Even a c350 with x-pipe and quads is not loud. Its basically on par with a 335i or g37s exhaust sound.

If you really want to keep the exhaust and quiet it down install some dynomat in the trunk/get a trunk mat to keep some of the noise out.

UPDATE**
LOL i just finished taking some pics and recorded a video, in the cabin isnt as loud as it was before. Maybe thats because right after I got it welded on it would be louder than after it breaks some of it in. ??
lol i dunno

pics coming in a few secs

If it's loud to a point where we consider it to be odd (as we do/did), maybe your exhaust guy had a bad weld done and left a hole in one of the welds :/


But really. Pics. Now.

I know it got much more quiet. Like honestly before when I drove out, in the cabin it was getting annoying, i think it was because it was just welded on and didnt get any airflow through and what not,
now its perfect

also the video doesnt do it justice, bad camera its a bit more beefy, which is perfect and exactly what i want

Thank you!

The Tips are off ebay for the s500
the thing is i had to do some welding and cutting my self.
Cause in the inlet exhaust on these pipes are angled upward and meant to be bolt out, and the (CO2) didnt even come out of the tips but there was a hole in the bottom, so i cut off the inlet, covered up the hole, cut the inlet in half welded it back in straight like it should be and powder coated it black and then took it in the shop to do the welding for the mufflers

i can link you the tips if u wish
for the 2 dual tip it was 120$ so i had to get them

I like that you did the quad set-up without debadging. I want to do the same thing because I like some chrome highlights around the vehicle. Is your defuser CF I can't tell from the pics?

Looks and sounds great, give it like a week to settle and the exhaust will quiet up a bit with all the soot entering the piping and mufflers. Some lowering springs if snow isnt to big of an issue for you and your car is set!

Hey just a quick question
What are your opinions if i took off the 4MATIC and replaced with AMG, but kept the C300?

Im not a big fan of doing replicas, mainly those guys who have 3 Series bmw's and badge them M3, and try to sell them as m3's lol

Think its acceptable if i put C300 AMG?

Sounds great! It's the loudest from 2K-3K, and sometimes it annoys me, but sometimes I don't even notice it.

No one likes posers who put badges on their cars here. Most actually recommend debagding the car. As it looks much cleaner and leaves ppl guessing what car you have.
