Most of the car is dated in comparison to modern cars. To me it looks like it should for a car that originally landed in 2008.
But by then the oval tips had been hanging around since W202 (and all other AMGs from that era). So they were already ten years old when they put them on this car. Now they look like ancient relics, even on a 2008 body style.
You made me curious so I was poking around to see what it would like. Have to say that while I like the circular, I still like the ovals better and I think it provides a nice signature rear end for the car.

Not a fan of factory rolled tips in general, but even then I prefer the round ones. The oval just screams "old" AMG to me.
Keep in mind the H/Y pipe tip replacements will not fit your stock mufflers, you will have to have individual tips side by side.
We have bolt-on carbon exhaust tips available on our site.
H/Y?
Yeah I was planning on buying four individual tips. Any idea what the outside diameters of the stock muffler outlets are? They look like 2.25-2.5.

Yes, both are the single inlet and dual outlet versions meant for non-amg models. The stock c63 muffler is dual outlet, so as you mentioned, 4 tips.
Update:
Got these tips on the car yesterday. I'm happy with the look but the job sucked. Lots of obnoxious cutting and welding to make these work with the stock mufflers.
The muffler outlets are 2.0" into a flared, trumpet-shaped section that the oval tips are welded to. Using these tips required separate 2.0" to 2.5" reducers and a lot of patience.
