Skim450

so i have been looking at exhaust options for our cars and i am saddened by the limited number of options we have available. and the ones that are available, are quite costly! as much as i want to improve the sound of the factory C450, i dont want to dent the wallet that much for a slight improvement on sound with very little HP gains.

i checked some muffler mfg's to see if they offer anything for our cars, of course they dont, but that doesn't mean they cant be installed.... so i am reaching out to see if anyone has done something custom like this? say maybe a magnaflow or flowmaster muffler replacement only. seems like it would be an affordable route to get a more aggressive tone without breaking the bank. has anyone done anything like this?

How did you do your research? There are 7 that I know off the top of my head.

FI Exhaust
Armytrix
Brabus
Remus
AWE
HEART Exhaust
EH Exhaust (This 1 is about 2k. They use, from what I can tell, the same design as Armytrix. Single 3inch midpipe instead of 2x 2.5inch)

Skim450

FI - $3300
Armytrix - $3800+
Brabus- $5000+ ?
Remus - ??? (cant find anything for the C450 on this)
AWE - $2000
Heart - ??? (cant find anything for the C450 on this)
EH - about $2000

maybe i should have reworded my post differently, but i guess for a change in tone with not much other benefits, i guess paying between $2000-$6000 seems a little crazy to me. which is why i was questioning the fact of just installing a muffler only, which cost maybe a few hundred? i have used flowmaster and magnaflow mufflers on many other cars to change the tone/sound level with great success while being cost effective.

FI and Armytrix sell only mufflers I’m sure but if you only buy mufflers there’s no guarantee they will fit your stock midpipes

Did you end up getting magnaflow or flowmaster mufflers on your c450? How does it sound? I got a muffler delete and it has a lot of unbearable drone and kind of lost the original true tone that the stock exhaust had.

Guys, we are coming out with a AMG Performance exhaust replica fully/ valved exhaust. there will be nothing like it on the market, as we took the PE to the next level. see post below.

I have magnaflow performance mufflers to true duals and X-pipe to 3 inch downpipe on my C400. I haven't heard straight pipe yet but for my car, I love the muffler, it keeps the sound tame, no raspyness, and has a deep idle. I haven't gotten the chance to get any videos but I will try to get some clips.

Able to Take a vid? I'm curious how it sounds. Which magniflow muffler did you use?

Which one did you get? I'm planning to buy a Magnaflow muffler from 4wheelonline because I want my exhaust to have a deepish tone.

i also have a c400 and looking for more sound i did muffler and resonator delete but I put it back on since drone is Just too much so if u have any clip or picture of you’re install it would be nice
