Any clue how did would sound if you had it in conjunction of an x-pipe? Or do the pipes for this exhaust also go through where the resonator did?

It's a single exhaust on the C250 so their would not be an x-pipe.

Based on your website, your downpipe and midpipe are straight piped correct? So all you really have is the final muffler on your exhaust system. It's quite quiet for essentially a straight pipe exhaust.

Looks good, but the whole system is pretty expensive

Doesn't sound much different from my custom straight pipe (view in my post). Seems like the different exhaust sounds are pretty much identical for this car...

The only mufflers we use are on the last sections of the exhaust. the down pipe and the mid-pipe are straight piped.

It does look good and we have it priced separately so that each piece can be bought individually. I am going to work on a better deal if all three parts are bought together. For now I will set that price at 15% off.

The exhaust notes will all sound relatively similar with this car, the differences that you will find between systems is in the performance I would imagine. Unfortunately I have only been able to run tests between the stock exhaust system and our components as I do not know anyone else with an exhaust that I can test against but I am sure they will be available to test eventually.

For now we have some really nice parts available for sale for this car.

I was hoping having a catless dp would make a significant sound difference as it does with most fi cars. However after hearing yours I'm second guessing my Eisenmann race exhaust and high flow catted dp.

Please post some clips if you put them on, I have never heard the Eisenmann exhaust before and would be very interested in hearing it. They make a very nice high quality exhaust system and I am sure you will be very happy with it.

Here's one that's already online for a c250. Mine however will be the race single side version for a c200.

Thanks for sharing that, I like the interior sample, maybe I should add that to my video, just not as long though.

I'm still surprised at how quiet our cars are even with a catless dp. On my wrx it was Night and day between catted and catless.

It is also very tough to really simulate the sound from a you tube video. We try to get it right as much as possible with the equipment that we have but it is hard to simulate it exactly.

It sounds good. Is there any drone at cruising speed 1800 - 2000 RPM? I removed my resonator when I added a cat back exhaust and the drone and vibration is driving me crazy.
