Brabus again =D

Project C

The amg sport full body parts from mainland made of PP.
They offer me 850usd + shipping.

Im looking now at Brabus malaysia:

Project C

Seems not a bad choice.
Wonder how it look with black c250

Where did that quote come from?

Project C

from here http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/61...or_BENZ_C.html

Project C

They show me this and explain to me in details:

xxGenericSNxx

LOL fake C63.

Project C

Seems like fake too.
would check with body shop tml and see what they have.
i prefer go reputable specialist like kleemann or brabus for the intercooler and exhaust upgrade.

Petje

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.

Petje

Also, the MECdesign exhaust are exactly the same as VATH, only a little cheaper .

Project C

Same thing here in asia. Vath cs is lousy. but product wise is no bad.
Have pic to show? i believe we share same engin capacity 1.8.

Petje

Yes we share the same engine M271EVO

Pictures is in my album, see my profile.

Cant get it here with my IPhone

Project C

i like the one sunset.
nice rims from Kleemann.
Is that the vath exhaust u mention? looks huge.
u change the whole system? how many inch was that?
when i deal with mitsubishi engine i used 2.5" for 1.8cc
and 3" for 2.0cc.

Petje

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.

Project C

France nice country , plan to visit if i have the cash.
plan to change to whole exhaust system for performance upgrade.

Petje

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.

Project C

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

Project C

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.

Project C

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.

Should i go for replica or genius?

Replica for brabus body parts ~ 2000usd

Genius Brabus ~ 5500 usd

This only contains front and rear bumper + side skirt.

snowmuch

$5500? That plus all those upgrade I would trade in the car for a c63...

Project C

It can't be done here buddy

50000 usd
