I priced this last year. It's crazy expensive, not quite up there with Meisterschaft, Akropovic, and Brabus but close. Basically if you split the difference between AWE and Brabus you land at the FI price point.

AWE is definitely the best value for aftermarket. They build a valved system for the C63 but they are still dragging their feet on adding the feature to their touring exhaust.

If I stay with my C450 and don't ditch it early it's getting an AWE touring system.

Sorry Sir. I will get off of your lawn now.

You're never too old for a performance exhaust, without it you might as well be dead. Heck, I like to rev my Honda mower in the morning to see if I can get it to pop and crackle!

just to correct myself. It was a mistake, but the bigger mistake would have been not getting the C43.
