What you've posted is a stock rear diffuser. You want to replace that with something else?

The dual round tips are stock OEM from FL c43s. You can interchange em if you like but would costs alot more from the dealer unless you want to get aftermarket variety.

I had the same motivation to do this change in the past too. I think someone here has done the retrofit and a few guys on Instagram from EU has done it.

I thought about doing it to my 2017 because I thought it completes the rear with a tint more aggressive taste. Kunzmann sells the OEM new rear diffuser with round tips, silver and black. Too bad they don't ship to North America. You can check out the Kunzmann website. If I remember right, you need to get a shop to do the install because it requires drilling an extra hole on the bumper/new diffuser for proper fitment. If you a handy, you can probably diy the install.

Time has passed and now I just rather save the money for something else (uncertain times for all) or maybe a new package in the next car eventually. My car as-is is amazing enough for me.

CKS Performance sells the facelift (2019+) C43 AMG Diffusers which can be installed on 2018's..at least I know they have the one for Sedans. www.cksperformance.com Check to see if they have one that fits the Coupe..

I bought one from there and am waiting for it to be shipped. The one they sell is a Genuine Mercedes Part which you can get in Chrome or Night Package. They are in the UK I believe.

However for about half the price there are also some sellers on Ebay that sell the facelift diffusers but all the ones that I saw are from China (high shipping costs right now) and not Night Package or Chrome Genuine MBZ parts.

I love the dual round tips, eBay has some kits, about $450. Knock offs, so buyer beware! Fitment could be hit or miss.

Yep, but who knows on fitment until you try it. Description doesn’t note if tips are SS, something to ask. eBay and Amazon have them too.

Purchased from CKS. Install took about 4 hours because I was taking my time and trying to figure it out without instructions. Hardest part is being patient while dealing with all the rivets.

Just realized you installed it yourself. Good job. How was the shipping cost and time to get to Ontario?

Shipping was approx $250 which isn’t bad. Lucky I was not charged duty.

Loved the look of the round quad tip. Looks more aggressive in my opinion. Also removed the resonator on the exhaust so wanted the exhaust tips matching the sound. If that makes sense.

Gotcha. Do you have the AMG performance exhaust? I would like to hear what it sounds like without the resonators.

Non-PE exhaust. Also have the JB4 map 2. I think it sounds great. Was going to do muffler delete but glad I didn’t get it done. Car is in storage for the winter but can post a vid once there’s a nice day out.
