Had the Brabus exhaust on my C180K (2008) , now i have the Vath exhaust on my C180CGI.(2011 facelift)
Sound from the Vath is better than the Brabus.
Brabus requires no cutting, with the Vath i had to saw my oem exhaust.

Brabus is more expensive than the Vath exhaust.

Vath cust service Germany , it's good when you want to buy, but if you have the product and have some issues they sucks.

Sunset was in France, with the C180K

I love the Kleemann wheels.

Have an SKG performance cat - downpipe - and the Vath
Dont know the size, same as C63 if i'm not wrong.

The Brabus are smaller size.

Have uploaded the Brabus exh. on my album .
So you can see how that looks.

Complete, than the option's arent much.
And it's hard to get much more HP with our engines.

There are threads about it, i have a power box and the exhaust, can feel i have more power and the engine runs smoother.

But dont expect +50/60 hp.

May be with a ECU tune, but that isnt available atm.

its better to have custom design exhaust.
2.3" or 2.5 actually suits our ride.

i call up different place ,visit them for my car body mod and to my surprise, most of them don't have what i want. they only have c63 pp material from taiwan. and some funny stuff. Not even a sport amg in stock.
Having the same answer again from different shops,
"its easier to install the taiwan c63 replica"
Looks like we have a lot to catch up with euro countries.

Conclusion: ppl here are more focus on performance rather than style,
some don't even bother to touch their ride. just do warranty services.
maybe the ride is still new to our market ,owners feel its a waste since MB already so stylish and somemore the parts aren't cheap here.
