Hey guys, i own a 2014 c300 and i just recently purchased an 2.25" magnaflow x pipe to replace the resonator. I was wondering the cost of labor how much i should be spending.

Demvang

I paid $80 USD

Less then 30 min job maximum you should pay is 80$ and take the resonator with you

How much extra $ is it to remove second cats and replace with piping? Is it rust-proof piping? Does anyone have a photo of where the 2nd cats are?

mr.brightside

The 2nd cat delete should be the same price as a resonator delete more or less, around $80



The 2nd cats are to the right of the encircled x-pipe, the two oval things to the right of the circle.

So the primary's are hidden?

And, x-pipe/res delete, 2nd cat delete, and quad tip install will run me about $250?

mr.brightside

Not quite hidden, if you follow the piping from the 2nd cats, the primary cats are all the way to the right of the pic (canister looking things), one on each side.

$250 sounds about right for all that.

i actually messed up, i did xpipe one day and went back another day to remove the cats, if you do all that in one day itll be cheaper then 250 bro, thats what muffler shop has told me.

Adi-Benz

so would you guys recommend removing the 2nd cats as well?

What would adding just the "X" pipe due? Any sound difference?

arkim989

xpipe will do a little change in sound, little raspiness but it wont be noticible untill like 3x rpm. It was too stock for me, i wanted louder thats why i deleted 2nd cats as well and now its perfect for me. If i would take time back i would just straight pipe 2nd cats and resonator without putting xpipe anywhere.

And if you wanna do muffler delete too (I highly recommend it)
