C300 Sport X pipe

Whats up guys, i just recently bought my first benz!!! c300 sport 2011 got a great steal on it, and i am very content and happy with my purchase; However, i am considering adding an x pipe to the exhaust and a had a few questions.

Will it void my warranty??

Will it decrease Hp or Efficiency in anyway?

Will it sound ricey?

Thanks for your time guys and any comment is greatly appreciated!
LOOKING FORWARD TO MY C300 EXPERIENCE!

I would totally do it. Its worth the mod and the sound is really good. As for HP or Efficiency, I havnt noticed a difference in them. It doesn't sound ricey at all. I acutally had it on for a while before my parents found out I had one. It doesn't really sound like you have one until you floor it or go over 3000 rpm.

Here a sound clip of mine the day I installed mine

Closer to a C63 but nothing really close haha, needs more work than an x-pipe for C63. I got mine off of Amazon as well. I went to a local muffler shop and they charged me like 50 buck; was about an hour work. Keep the old resonator btw.

Youtube "C300 X-Pipe"
Plenty of sound clips available.

Will it void your warranty? Only if the dealer can prove the X-pipe was the cause of your problem.

Decrease or Increase HP? No. X-Pipe is just for sound purposes.

No, but you do have to remove your signature image to install the x-pipe.

Thanks in advance

I assume they do the bottom and then drop the exhaust to do the top.
