2017 C300 - Looking for more exhaust sound
Without replacing the entire exhaust system, or voiding the warranty, what options would I have to give this car a little more heart? I absolutely love the thing and I am not looking to make this sound like something that it is not ... I am only looking to make it a little more lively.
Would my best option to be to run straight pipes in place of the mufflers? I am worried that this will make the car sound like those Honda Civics.

A turbo tends to take the edge off a straight pipe (I'm presuming you'll leave the cat in place) but it really just takes a good shop and a little experimentation. I'd try the straight pipe and if it's too much splice in an in-line resonator (glass pack). Getting good sound out of a T4 is pretty tough though.

If you are looking for a deeper note without the ricer sound of a straight through then a pair of magnaflows with factory resonators left in place works well.
Some very mild drone increase at 2k (but a LOT less than straight through or res deletes..) which is easily remedied with some dynamat in the trunk floor plastic tub.. (its a drum as is)..
A little bit of tone but still discrete when you need it to be..
