i chose eisenmann race. not too many exhausts out there for c32-specific, off the top of my head i think eisenmann, supersprint, and carlsson rs have c32 versions. thanks bif for hosting the vid

 

KompressorKev may I ask what is the price on a set of Eisenmann Race exhuast?? Is it a true dual?? thnx

Bif thnx for the vid~ i saw tha earlier today... infact thas what gave me the curiorsity to start this thread =]

 

correct me if i'm wrong but i was under the impression that our exhaust systems were good enough that aftermarket exhaust systems do not add much in terms of performance...the only change is the sound of the exhaust

also...i think brabus makes exhausts for the c32 and c55 if i'm not mistaken

hi, the price is about 1200 shipped. the exhaust is not really true dual, it is just a muffler w/ dual tips (83mm dual round or dual 90x70mm oval) and a pipe, which you weld on (in place of after cutting off the amg one). genechien i think you are right aftermarket exhaust mufflers or catbacks don't offer much performance gain, if any at all. i bought the exhaust knowing this, and wanting a tip-style change, something different than everyone else's amg, and a more agressive tone that could not be produced just by removing resonator. the sound tone is changed, not just sheer volume, from c32. removing the resonator does make it sound nice, but i like how the eisenmann race has the ability to be relatively quiet around town but really scream when you get on it. when the car is warmed up, the exhaust can be very livable and at idle it even sounds stock from inside (you can't really hear it at all) but near redline it is very very loud. eisenmann told me that the backpressure was dropped 0.5psi which was the threshold for retaining torque while freeing up some flow, but don't really expect much of a gain at all. if you get eisenmann race, you are getting it for the sound and visual aspects only.

in retrospect, $1200 could probably have been better spent. i'd rather put that money towards headers, which do have performance benefit. if you get the evosport headers, the temps are cooler too because of the ceramic coating. if you want good value for sound plus some power gain, keep stock muffler, remove resonator, and remove the rear 2ndary cats (should not produce a CEL light because there is no O2 sensor after it, only before it).

i am not sure if brabus makes one c32 specific - i do not see it on their catalog (tho i might have outdated one). pricing would be about the same, $1200 for muffler, and brabus is very quiet. i got race eisenmann for reason, and was pleasantly surprised that you can somewhat control the volume around town.

hey kev~ have u taken a look at Simon's old post which i have digged up from history ago?? hahaha man his pipes look awesome....tha is what i want actually....the sound clip link in his post is down...but he said it sounds like posche turbo^^ tha must be great~~ the thing now is...i dont have a shop i can trust the job on in vancouver n if u look in the pics simon posted in his post...maybe u can explain better to me wut thoese things r on the pipes...cats or resonator since hes got he mufflers removed

Sweet video in there.

I was wondering if there is anymore information about that car in the beginning. The black C32 with the Eisenmann Race set up. Sounds really nice!

 

that's my car, whatcha want to know?

 

KompressorKev, very nice car you have there!

Do you have any pictures of your car I can see. Especially with the Eisenmann exhaust? I really like how those hid foglights look. how much did those run you?

 

thanks, i will try to get some pics up, and i will post them in the c32 picture thread. i don't have many pics straight up of the eisenmann, since it's not all that special, just dual 83mm round tips, but i have a few with the hid fogs...however, they appear a little bit more blue in the pictures than they do in real life. i'll try to get some up soon.

 

only eisemann and carlsson rs makes specific exhaust for the C32. supersprint works on all V6s.

 

i see on supersprint's website that there's different part numbers for C32 exhaust vs. normal v6 exhausts on w203? the one i'm referring to, supersprint lists a really nice looking 120x80mm oval tips exhaust 844227, which is only listed on c32. the c320 exhaust with the same tips is listed as 843327, and there are other options listed like 843307, 843367, and 843368. for the same exhaust, the part numbers are different b/t c32 and c320. but yeah carlsson does make one for c32 specific, but quad tips are expensive!
