Hey guys, i have a C250 (w204). I wanted to ask you if anyone has changed their exhaust (full). I wanted to make the car sound like it's got a v8.
And can I use brake pads from a C63 to improve breaking or will it just break something.
Any other mods I could make except from those and adding a power chip and changing the air filter to get a few more horsepower.

there is a thread of someone that put C63 breaks all round on the car but its 3000$ and google x-pipe a lot of people do that to get a louder sound.

and if you want a complete exhaust change your looking at around 4000+++$ something like armytrix there are others but its all about the same price. I was quoted for my C300(not armytrix but a similar set up as they done make anything for a C300 only the 250's) at 4500 for one set up and 5500$ for another might as well buy a C63 lol

Nothing will really make it sound like a V8, but if looking for a good quality full exhaust... look to Akrapovic, Eisenmann, or Meisterschaft. Be prepared to pay, although you might be lucky and find one used on the classified here.

On the W204 Drivers Facebook there's One with straight pipes on the C250

ya it was Akrapovic Eisenmann i was quoted 4500 and 5500 with install this is Canadian dollar though

Definitely though try swapping out the resonator for an x-pipe or straight pipes first and see if you like the sound as that's the cheapest option and for most, will get you to an acceptable audible growl range. After that, then exhaust, headers, cat delete, etc will start getting costly. There's a longtube system out also I believe.

Silly question, can you even put an x-pipe on a C250??

AZN Optics

you're right, missed that was a 250. You'd just straight pipe it then when removing the resonator.

Look into Armytrix exhaust.

MB Marko

Ya i agree if you have some money to spend its worth it just go on youtube watch the videos it makes the car sound a million times better and you can change setting on your smart phone its pretty remarkable.

Actually I found Armytrix competitively priced against the bigger brands like Eisenmann and Akropovic.

MB Marko

haha maybe its the Canadian dollar thats ****ing me i mean its 77 cents to the usd its quite sad I can't buy any of the carbon fibre i want to i just get killed on conversion and duty fees.

Yea, that's a rough break, I read about that last week. Sorry to hear.
