C280 > maybe C36
Incredible C55 Sound

Hello my name is Michael, I am from Hungary. Are there other users from Hungary/CZ here?

Congrats the webmasters to this web page. I found a lot helpful information here But one Question: Does exhaust of the C36 fits also with my car (I drive a C280.)? Or do I need an adapter for the Pipe????

I saw on the website from the AMG Club (thanks Bilal for the Link) the Soundfile of a C55. Incredible sound of a race car (you will get goose bumbs!). I never heard a comparable
sound of an AMG. I wish you can get something like this in Hungary.

C55 Sound (WAVE)

Here is the email-conversation with the owner:

Hello Admin,

great Homepage. Do you know the owner of the orange C55 in the Multimedia-Gallery? Because, I like to know the procedure of the sound creating. Is it normal for a C55 or was it made by a special preparation. On the video it seems, that there are more horse power then on paper? Correct?

best regards Micha

He got most of his parts, and I believe all of his work from Affalterbach.

i remember reading about his car somewhere on the web before. didn't he bought a C43 and then have AMG do all the work to become a C55?
