2. The pipe is expanded on both sides to slide over stock exhaust. This makes for simple and good looking installation. You will suprised and how many bad weld jobs we have seen over the years. Crooked pipes and ugly welds is what one usually gets at a local muffler pit.

I would like to do this mod, but am a little hesitant that I may not like the result, and would prefer a back up it it doesn't work out.

Did you just need 1 pipe? If not, was it $100 for all the pipes? I thought I read that the C55 had 4 resonators that needed to be cut out.
Also, how much HP will you gain if any with this mod?

This mod will not gain any hp. Just makes the exhaust note a bit deeper.
Okay, now that we cleared that up, I finally thinks it's safe to say
