I was looking around my friends car and noticed that the exhaust tips are a little uneven, just by like 5mm. Is this normal? Also i noticed that the exhaust tips seems to "grow" after the car is warmed up. Is this normal? Just wondering. Anyone else have the same issue with uneven tips?

Grow – maybe heat expansion.

Has the exhaust been bumped while reversing?

By uneven if you mean that the 2 inside pipes are about 5mm farther back, than the outside ones you are right.

It think that they wanted the pipes to follow the curve of the rear bumper.

Nice class touch IMO.

As far as them growing Have not noticed that.

yes, they are a little lower on the outside tips, and the "growing" is the metal expansion. After a nice beating, the tips stick out a little more. My E55 did this also

I mean that the dual exhaust on both sides of the car. The driver side and passenger side are slighty uneven. I know that on the exhaust on one side there are two tips and they are off sett on purpose to follow the curve of the car.

Stainless steel stretches or expands when it is hot. That's why you can't use just any wire to tig weld it. I'm quite sure all W204s have stainless systems.

If you guys what to see something crazy put your car on a lift and by the rear there are rubber mounts that you can see how much stainless grows when it heats.. even more with newer benz as the run very hot. I have measured on a cl65 after some heavy driving over 7/8 " of growth. Almost a inch thats crazy. But to answer dads ?? ive had acouple of c63sowers ask about this there is ways to adjust them( not normal ways alittle torch and some muscle )
