Swap From 17" to 19", replace the Gas Cap, replace the broken piece on the Audio Control Knob, & replace all the bulbs inside & License Plate with LED's. that's all for know.

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.

HI Atlas Grey - Here is a video of cold start.
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

Will that cause you a problem for yearly inspection? I considered that option, but wasn't sure if it would fly here in Massachusetts.

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)

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.

Funkwagen has taken the computer route to cars, and while I'm pretty good at tech I'll prolly never figure out what he does.

Btw Funk, you got lamin-x on your fogs? Do you like the yellow since you have leds?
If it was me I'd go full white.

Technically on visual inspection yes...but if you know someone they can pass it. It won't effect anything regarding emissions.

Just picked it up today.

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. 😃

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?
