Facelift C200 dual exhaust conversion
Hi All,
I have always liked the dual exhaust look of the C300 and C350 and thanks to members on this forum (especially AV1) I have finally made the mod on my C200. Below are the before and after photos. Let me know what you think?
Before with stock bumper and single exhaust
After.

Yes the AMG diffusers will work but most of the BIG FIN diffusers are for quad exhaust so they have a much wider opening for the exhaust and will look a little out of place when installed with the OEM dual exhaust tips setup.
However, I have seen some members with BIG FIN dual exhaust diffusers which is something I am interested in as well. Maybe someone can advise on where to buy them.
Are you thinking of Quad or dual?

Nice work on the modification. I did a quad-tip one as well soon after I got my car only for 3 months (still under another 21 month worldwide warranty)... I bought a new diffuser for the bumper.

Full details of this dual exhaust mods.
Quite a few people asked about this mod. Below are the details.
i am in Australia and my car still have 3 years unlimited factory warranty and I was told by the MB service that exhaust mods before the muffler will void my warranty. Hence, the instructions below is for warranty friendly dual exhaust mods.

Hi, I am using one so-called non-CF big fin diffuser (which cost me around US$120) from Taiwan, shipping to my place. It fits almost 95% but need slight modifications on two of the 8 clips of the diffuser.
I personally dont go for the aftermarket CF diffusers as the qualities can be quite varied.

- Buy Parts
a) AMG bumper upgrade:
If you already have an AMG sports body kit you can skip this step and save a lot of money.
I bought a facelift OEM bumper and had it resprayed. This is the most costly part of the excercise. Bumper and respray :$AUD1100
b) Buy the OEM C300 diffusers:
Both the c300 and C350 amg bumper diffusers are the same and will work.
$AUD175
c) You also need the RHS and LHS diffusers brackets
These are different from the C63 diffuser brackets.
PN: A2048854514 LHS - $AUD44
PN: A2048854414 RHS - $AUD44
d) RHS Exhaust Tips:
A2044906427 $AUD75
The LHS exhaust tip of the C200 or C250 is exactly the same as the c300 ones even though they have a different part number. Hence, you only need the RHS tip.
- Exhaust routing
I found that the exhaust will look neat when you don't protrude the exhaust tip out too much and keep it about an inch out from the diffusers.
By doing this doughnut bending on the RHS allows me more room to play around with quad tips in the future.
Labour $AUD250.
After figuring out the minimal effect on the low torque and general power of my C200, I gave a go on the far end extension set too. At least, I think the rear look of the c class is more sporty then.

They ship to my place locally (Hong Kong).
I hope you can read the link. As I am from Hong Kong, I mostly get stuffs here locally, Taiwan or China which cost cheaper shipping. Indeed, there are many MB parts (OEM or aftermarket available in the places, if not from Germany and Europe).

Now I am after the big fin but for dual exhaust not quad. They only have big fins for the quad and normal one for the double.

Still don't understand why MB models come with single exhausts especially for the price you pay and considering how more Ford's and Dodge's come with dual exhaust for cheaper (i.e., Dodge Dart).

That is correct and I'm sure the main question for all of us involved on this topic, but as many of us have done it's quite easy to resolve in many different ways all depending on ones budget.
However there's no need to worry about it anymore with all future or new MB models as they're all appearing with either dual or quad symmetrical exhaust tip outlet layouts now
