Yea, putting HID Bulbs in a standard light housing causes a lot of glare to on coming traffic, no matter how you aim them. I went through all of this with a Dodge truck I used to own. You can retrofit them with Bi-Xenon projector beams and they look pretty darn good. The only difference is you will not have auto leveling.

Secondary cats and resonator were removed. Yes, I will make a revving clip. It does not have a CEL, work was done by Imus at MC Customs in Miami.

So which HID kit did you go with? DDM? Morimoto? Other? I'm trying to find a good reliable kit. The DDM kit I got has a bad ballast.

Yes DDM is total crap, stay away from them.
The best place to get your HID Retrofit kit is Retro-Solutions. After a little trial and error with other companies I finally found them and they have reliable equipment and great customer service.
Just send them an email and tell them what vehicle you have and what you want to do. They will guide you in the right direction

This and that.
So the computer did not throw any error codes then? Does it void your warranty? You removed the resonator and the secondary cats? Where did you get the straight pipes from? I just can't make up my damn mind as to what I want to do with it...there's just so much damn varying info. out there. All I want is it to be a little louder and not obnoxious. Still keep the AMG sound at the same time without any rasp and so on.

I got everything down in Miami at MC Customs.
I agree 100% about it not being "too loud". With the removal of the secondary cats and resonator I feel that it in fact does keep the AMG sound, just running to it's full potential.
You should try seeing if you can get a local C63 with exhaust mods to meet up with you so you can hear it in real life, that is the best way to decide IMO.
