Outside of that video do you have any with your new exhaust setup at cold start, idle and then regular street driving. I have a 15 C350 4 matic coupe and already did the X pipe but it's nowhere near loud enough. Thinking magnaflow but all the videos are of C300 or earlier pre lift cars and they sound different. our cars are practically identical. Also which specific part Magnaflows did you put on
Thanks

Do the muffler delete. It's not drone-y like people say it is. I did it with zero regrets.

It is much louder and deeper in person than in the video.
I'll try to get one of street driving because it sounds much better with the engine under load than it does just revving it in neutral. I went with the 11226 mufflers. Chose these tips because they fit perfectly into the factory exhaust cutouts in the bumper: https://m.summitracing.com/parts/JEX-POR512SS
I drove around for a few weeks with the x-pipe and resonators removed.....was definitely louder and more aggressive than stock, but a little raspy on the top end. The Magnaflow mufflers made a huge improvement sounds wise, and freed up a tiny bit of power.......ran 13.97@99.4 a few weeks ago before adding the mufflers. As far as weight goes, this muffler and tip combo is 6 lbs lighter than the factory pieces........don't know the weight differences from the x-pipe and resonators delete, but I overheard one of the guys at the exhaust shop said "That took a lot of weight out of the car!" haha

I found a way to get non-CANBUS LEDs working for the tail lights, eyebrow lights and sidemarker lights Philips brand 194 and 1156 LED bulbs (My phone takes terrible low light images, sorry)

Please do tell. I want to upgrade to LED bulbs in the tail lights if possible.
Vediamo tricks (what else is new ). There's some parameters to disable "clocking" (PWM?) which stops the lights from flickering, and a couple of parameters that can also be disabled to keep the lights from shutting off because a lower than normal current is detected. No errors, but errors still seem to work when a bulb actually burns out/is removed, which is nice.
All I got done so far is tint. Don't mind winter wheels, dealer sent one of the wheels for refinishing and got delayed. So they put these on it so I could pick it up as scheduled.
Bonus is I get to keep the winters, which weren't part of the deal. 😃
Awesome, where abouts? Do you have any pics of your ride?
Off of Valrico road and 60. I have pics...just need to upload. Basically looks like yours before the 19s...which I want to do as well. Yours look great! Did you have an issue with the speedo calibration or did you have it programmed?
