hooleyboy’s C55 downstream pipes were beautifully fabricated.
Barked through nicely at WOT, too:

i agree splinter they doo look awsome , but that will be my next step when i fitt the headers

advans

not really "true dual" if there is a x-pipe.

mine is true dual. no joins at all.

sultanC36

yes to a point , my advice is get a X pipe balance the exhoust scavenging and gain a bet more HP and TQ

Glad you went with an x pipe, I've got an x pipe on mine(SLK55) and I truly adore the sound when I added the Kleemann rear catalytics. When I added the headers the sound changed, the pre header sound was a bit muted compared to the headers. The car will sound extermely loud which is fine by me.

thanks my frind and good luck with your project

alroumi

Thank you my friend, everything is going just in a slow pace, the kompressor arrived.

advans

I had an x-pipe, then got a true dual, theres a better sound with the true dual and the car kicks faster with higher rpms!

advans , maby you are rite but can i ask you have you done any dyno runs on both confegurations ?

I have to agree. Amazing job dude

I am jealous. I want to do something like that with mine! I was thinking I would end up doing the resonator and high flow secondaries, but if I am going to do that, I would probably be better off just doing it all at once.

I hope no one minds me using these pictures as a guide for the shop that ends up doing mine. Hopefully they do as good of a job! Do you have a sound clip on youtube yet?

sultanC36

go ahead my frind and i am glad i can help , and if you need more info please do not hisetate to contact me

I have a question to those who have done this (like myself), what did you do about the right side exhaust pipe, cause there is on one hanger for the left pipe?

MBH motorsports

I cant remember, its been to so long. I want to say we extended the hanger and let it attach to the other pipe as well.

You are sacrificing torque without the xpipe. There are numerous dynotest in Hot Rod and various other magazines that prove the worth of the x pipe.

Could you perhaps post a YT video so we can hear it?

sinister55

Cause it was fine, until the other day i had everything glowing and now they is a squeakly noise and it is coming from the left side, which is welded to something lol
