2008 Mercedes-Benz W204 C300
2008 W204

I've been researching ways to make my car louder with not that big of a budget and all I've seen is resonator delete and getting an x pipe. Got any other suggestions?

1. X-Pipe
2. Muffler delete + X-pipe
3. Muffler delete + Keep resonator
4. Magnaflow aftermarket mufflers (x-pipe or keep)

Probably the most common options. I have just an X-pipe with mufflers. Sounds ok. Gets a little drone when you hit 70

Xpipe first;then remove the mufflers afterwards the best way. Thats what I'm currently running on my 08. I have some videos on my youtube channel (link in signature)

Isn't a muffler delete illegal though?

No its not; Removing your CAT's is illegal because that actually messes up with the CO2 output your car has (aka emissions)

You sure about that? States typically have laws in place about noise.
