VRP removed my secondary CAT's and the resonator and put in a custom X-Pipe. I recall the pipe is 2-1/2". With that being said, we are now taking it out and re-installing a 2-3/4" or 3" complete exhaust system. Call Vadim at VRP Tuning and ask him. You could buy a custom one from him instead of buying something generic from Magnaflow...

Also, can you rattle off the order of things on the exhaust? Is it, exhaust manifolds, to cats, to resonator to secondary cats to mufflers, to tips?
Lastly, is there no O2 sensor issues to deal with? Can we remove the first set of cats?
thanks!

Personally I would not go with a universal Magnaflow pipe as the exhaust has to be cut up and looks like crap IMO from the pics I have seen in the W204 forums.
I'm not sure if the C63 exhaust is slightly bigger than my C350 but a quick crawl under the car can confirm.
Other than my illustration the only difference is the pipe needed to be expanded on one of the flange end connections that any exhaust shop can do as they did to mine.
