So my C32 exhaust is standard right now...

i do fancy going for the quad set-up.

if you guys were to start all over again which way would you do the exhaust.

i dont want it to look or sound cheap/crap.

Cheers

I'm keeping it simple. Shorty headers........secondary cats and res delete. Will sound great, REDUCE weight....and give me some more power.

Quad exhaust looks great but I'm going to skip.....just not that important to me.

I've done a dual exhaust on my C32, search for my thread and you can see how it was done.

FOUND IT!

No pics lol

+1. To do more than that will cost you a lot more with no more than .2 sec gain in 1/4 mile times. Unless you are doing it for looks.

varoom

mainly for looks and sound.

i dont race it.

Funny cuz I was looking at his thread last night and saw the same thing! And I wake up to a new thread with a link to the pics haha...this will be my next project I think

How's the drone? Any full underbody pics?

pointman

Dear West Coast guys,

lend me an installer. Thanks.

chris.bachman

Drone is minimal but does exist, however the sound under WOT is so glorious I don't care. No underbody pics, I can try and get some though.

Hey Chris,

Can you please get a couple of undebody pics...

just so i can show them to my exhaust shop guy.

I did the quad exhaust on my car. I love the look, especially with my CF diffuser. My exhaust setup comprises of cats, to center x pipe resonated muffler, to tips. I had my OEM muffler, secondary cats, and resonator removed. Personally, I think it is too loud. I want to put my resonator back in place or maybe my secondary cats. It sounds great at WOT as Chris pointed out but I hate the drone that I get around 2.5 RPM.

If I were you, I would run the exhaust as follows. Cats to secondary cats to resonated x pipe muffler, to tips. I might put my secondaries back in, but currently I am storing the car while I go to school.

varoom

So should I just leave the standard secondary cats and resonator in place and run dual pipes from there back to the quad tips?

Cheers

Chris,

Please do post pics if you can, your exhaust sounds godly.

Arekux also did a great job with his c32, but I think he uses magnaflow.

Start with headers, see what you think. Then remove the cats and see if this is enough. Then go for the resonators and finally quad exit. Its hard to go back but its easy to make it too loud, drone too much or just uncomfortable to be inside.

i'd delete the resonator first. then do headers. that's where i'm at and i love the sound. i haven't deleted the secondaries b/c i like the sound so much and i don't want to risk it being too loud or getting unwanted drone if i were to remove the secondaries......i still think about deleting them though.

all i did was remove the secondary cats. kept the resonator to keep the exhaust note from rasping. end result = sounds great with no droning at all plus a little gain on top end and better gas milage. I used 2pcs. 2.5 SS pipes (parts and labor was $120) cheap beneficial mod.

varoom

Cool,

I might do that aswell,

I can't be bothered spending $1000 on quad set up - yes that much in my area!

chris-Bachman you should have left the c32 logo it would have looked great��

Hello
Ihave a c32 amg 2002 and i have done a secondary cat delete. Sound is good and lovely but i want it a bit louder. A straight pipe in place of the resonator is out of question for me due to drone ans raspiness that it could create.
If some of you used the magnaflow glasspack please tell us if it is louder than just sec cat delete. And if there is drone. And which magnaflow size did u use?
Thx

What did you do the the exhaust? Just got a c32 but has no res secondary cat or mufflers
