Do you guys think I could weld the C63 tips on to this Magnaflow 14862http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOo3hc886XY



I think my car would look amazing with quad C63 tips coming out the back. This isnt the exact same as our cars but its the same M113 engine with the quad Magnaflow 14826 setup, I think it sounds pretty amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJiGO0f1eWQ

This is Magnaflow with res deleted, 200cel 2nd cats, with 3" pipes from the 200cels back. I think id rather go full straight pipe to the quad set up w/no second cats at all, should be very loud and free flowing. Maybe even 2.5" all the way back to keep the back pressure?

Anyone good with photoshop?
Take these

And put them here

BTW my mods for 2011 are as follows...kleeman headers,x-pipe to res delete, eisenmann race muffler with AMG tips welded on,kw varient coilover kit ( all sitting in my garage). Got the kleeman headers from my cousin who owned a 98c43 and totaled it last year.Picked up the einsenman for $970.00 and the kw varient setup for $1300.Want to go with 18's poss monoblocks or a three piece wheel nt sure....and tires going with the hankook ventus evo 12,unbelievable tires for the price.

Oh you know there will be many, many pictures to come and feel free to pm about the running lights if you have any questions at all. I am planning to run them to my fog light switch but I've got to call that vendor and see if ill need a resistor to avoid a light out cell? I thinks it going to look amazing when I lock that bad boy at night and just those led running light a blazing as you walk away from the car. I think the mod could be super rice but those are the real deal, made on high grade medals and come with a good warranty. I've used these guys before, for my e36 led tail lights and they look OEM and not cheap at all!

Here is a stainless magnaflow, no resonator, 200 cel cats, 3in mandrel bend custom exh. on the 4.3L. The SC plays no roll in the sound here, mechanical noise could be another car running next to it. Would expect your idea to sound the same more or less.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...6758803131322#

My plans for 2011....to have my 202 running with the 5.0L and to graduate college for the 2nd time...lol.

Graduating for a second time is a very good thing! Are you still using those same wheels? They are amazing. What size and make are they?

Those are gone, they were and still are IMO one of the best wheels available for the MB. They were one piece forged Renntech Monolites. 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. I currently have staggered SL55 wheels on the car same size, heavier though..

The size Apart from that, nothing says you can't get one and cut down and fettle so as to fit the 43. Could be cheaper to buy on of the replicas you can find on the net. Just check they are good quality. Search around this forum for that info
