I am completely new to changing anything on my car, honestly I've only ever done it in a video game. So I really do need help here, I've bought a 2015 c300 w205 245hp. Now I want to change the exhaust system first, it's just not exciting at all. As I've said I'm not familiar with exhausts at all, so I guess the best way to describe what I'm looking for is, the closest that I can get to that deep sound and crackles that the C63 is making, I understand it's not gonna sound like that, but is there any solution that's gonna get me even close to that? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to buy certain parts like the muffler separately? If there is anyone that can help me, please. Another thing that I'm curious about is the Performance Kits, should I be looking into that, is it worth it or do I just stick with what I have?

Thank you

Straight through for max volume.. crap sound.. Rasp.. and chronic drone at cruising speed

Resonator delete with standard mufflers for added drone and rasp but not much tone....

Standard system with resonators and straight through mufflersfor a deeper note with a little more volume and tiny added drone..

Depends what hat you wan to end up with...

I went the latter..

Mr. J

You're never going to get V8 sound out of a 4cyl engine. That said, AWE builds exhaust kits that are direct bolt on replacements for your oem exhaust and they sound much better than factory.

Right on the money.

If you have any questions, let me know

First problem is, I can't seem to find a dealer that sells AWE exhaust in Switzerland. Getting it anywhere else but Germany is not an option at the moment. And one more thing is AWE Exhuast better then Armytrix/Magnaflow/Fi ? As I've said I'm new to this so i don't really know, also if you go on Brabus Configuration, they have their own Brabus Exhaust


Is this a good option or not?

Mr. J

Brabus and Armytrix are great options but:
You cannot improve the sound of a 4cyl to the point of sounding like a well tuned V8 exhaust.

Brabus or Armytrix may get you a little more volume and rumble but either will cost you about the same price as a used A class

Honestly it's a challenge getting a good exhaust sound out of a V6, much less a heavily boosted 4. The best I've heard is the 6 in the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio. Even the M3/4 pumps in an artificially deep and resonant note through its audio system. I think with a 4, the quieter you can make it the better it sounds.

Brabus Exhaust doesn't have much sound.
There's a sound clip:

I wound go with Armytrix for more sound

Merks

Kinda disappointed by that, was expecting more from Brabus, but does this mean that I'm gonna have to tune it to get the crackles(with Armytrix Exhuast)?

And has anyone seen any C300 w205 with Borla exhaust? My friend just told me about it
To me quality is very important, I know Borla, Akrapovic have a reputation, not sure about armytrix

Josh/AWE

Ah, unfortunately we don't have a dealer directly in Switzerland. Would recommend BEST Performance (Poland) or AWESOME (UK).

No plans on expending in Swiss?

Josh/AWE

Well, AWESOME is AWE Tuning Europe, and cater to your area

Merks

True, thank you for the response, once it's done I'll make sure to post some results

Josh/AWE

No problem! What version did you go with?

Merks

SwitchPath Exhaust is the way to go

Josh/AWE

I myself am a fan, as well. Good move.

Looking forward to your install
