X pipe
Guys, I need your help and suggestions, I am adding quad exhaust tips to my c300 with the amg diffuser, I also want to change the sound a bit, I been doing some research on the xpipe and everyone has done it with the magnaflow 10790.. But I am wondering if anyone has tried the ones in the links below, it looks like the pipe size would fit, its seems to be a lot cheaper than the magnaflow.. Any feedback is welcomed, thanks guys

The welds on the eBay one looks like crap. If you're going to purchase a no-name brand X pipe, any local muffler should will have it. Don't waste time buying online and waiting for it to ship. Go to your local reputable muffler shop and see the quality and finish in person.

My muffler shop had 2.5" magnaflows and I had them order a 2.25", it only costs them like $60, and with labor it shouldn't be more than around $150ish for the whole job, depending on where you live. I'd say spend a little extra with something name brand. I'd rather tell my friends it was a magnaflow X-pipe than just some random generic...not that it really matters though. Good luck man!

Magnaflow is fine, not knocking that, but the Lawson pipe has perfectly good welds as well and they aren't some generic shadetree company. I just find it funny that brand matters for something so inconsequential as an x-pipe. If it were the mufflers themselves, sure...

I purchased a Magnaflow X-pipe from Amazon and was very satisfied with it.
The price was very reasonable and the quality was excellent.
I think it's the best mod for your buck, great sound without being too loud or like a broken muffler.

No drone at all. Only time you really notice the exhaust is when you floor it (especially around 3.5k to 4.5k rpms). The rest of the time its pretty quite.
As a side note, I took the resonators off my wife's A5 2.0 this week and that was a big mistake - drone like you wouldn't believe. Plus, it sounded like a farm tractor so I ended up having them put back on.
