Leave the stock mufflers. Theyre better than any aftermarket system and nothing sells for under 2k if im not mistaken. If you want more sound just delete your primaries. Pretty much as loud as headers.

I wouldn't say that.


If you plan to add LTH. A good catback is recommended. Do you know Eisenmann makes the OE exhaust on Many AMG models? Including the Tips for the C63.


I have had experience with the Akra / Eisenmann and stock setup. Anyone who tells you a solid aftermarket Catback is not worth it, in conjunction with LTH are crazy.


The stock catback is raspy with LTH's. Even with Secondaries + Resonators deleted. The sound is uncontrolled / less refined. Add a solid catback and it sounds extremely controlled and beastly. A good after market cat back allows for higher flow.

I say go with the LTH setup first. If its too much, swap out your catback for a good aftermarket one. You will benefit from the gains of the LTH's.


I personally don't like it super loud. I prefer a more refined sound. I have the Eisenmann race setup and will be adding LTH's in the near future.
