W205 C43 AMG Quad Tips and Diffuser

Guys why are we not doing this????
Is this everything you need for install? I found this on ebay, seems like it will be a quick and easy install?
Can anyone vouch?
for under $600 it seems pretty good

Lots of people have done this, myself included, though I went the OEM route at a cost of about 800 euros.

I wouldn't say it was quick and easy though, involves bumper removal and lots of rivets & clips

wow rivets too eh.
But i wonder if these china ones will work. Or some modifications need to be done?


Is everyone financing? i'm on a lease but i think i'm going to finance after lease so i can mod the hell out of it.
Not 100% sure yet so i really don't want to be riveting lol

It's all completely reversible, just a little more involved than it may seem at first glance. You might want to check if the Chinese kits come with all of the required fixings, rivets and bolts, the OEM kit I ordered from kunzmann.de certainly did.

I bought the car outright so am modding like crazy

I bought the cheap Chinese version and the fitment is not oem! I got a full refund and went oem. Trust me, there are imperfections. The install is easy. Drill out the rivets and put new ones in. I bought my car so I am modding the hell out of it.

I would agree I have heard from a few people the knock offs don't fit

There's a thread where someone made a cut-out of the tips so that just the pipe goes through. Painted black, it becomes unnoticeable.

It is but you get what you pay for.

What I mean is if you buy knock off and it doesn't fit you will have to pay labor of a body shop to make it fit.

If you buy OEM it is direct bolt on of course which will save you labor.

For me I would wait for facelift diffuser from C43 to at least stay with the C43 look

I wanted the C63 diffuser also but then I realized my car is NOT a C63 so why would I want to look like one.

personal opinion....you do you

As Dieseldan mentioned, it does not fit right....trust me. Plus the bottom diffuser between the exhaust tips bows upward. The tow hook area I had trouble getting that fit right....it is not worth the headache.
