Custom exhaust on w208

Dropping my car off on Monday to get custom exhaust built for my car. Please let me know what you think:
1)Kleemann headers
2)2.5 inch dual pipe all the way back with quad exhaust tips
3) x pipe after headers and before 300 cell metal cats
4) magnaflow race mufflers

Should I put xpipe after the cats? Also with this setup do you guys think I will have any drone problems? Should I get larger mufflers?
Thanks!!

Yep will do! If I can remember to charge my gopro, I will try to record some of track sessions next weekend. Will be running with PCA at Watkins glen, they put me in the black advanced group. They might be a little more experienced than me but should be fun

You invested in the best enhancement this engine can get.

Kleemann headers in my car have 2.5 collector. Also from my research, 2.5 dual pipe is good for up to 500hp. Cars with more power will benefit from pigger pipes.

I just dropped my car off, can't wait to see how it feels and sound. It will be mandrel bent 304ss

Got regular magnaflow mufflers instead of race series as it would have been too loud and lot of drone. Will try to put video up soon but forgot gopro at home so another track session without video

I want to do this so badly. Congrats, it sounds great. Can I ask what the model # of the mufflers you went with?

It is a pro job,

I would be very pleased with it, Did you do a battery box mod to get the passenger muffler/diffuser to fit properly?

There was a thread from VIP320 to accomplish this. I would locate the battery to the spare tire well to keep weight lower to the ground, centered and closer to the axle.

Cheers, Gator

Yep moved the battery in place of spare wheel. Also had to relocate tow hook.

The MF muffles used are 14326. The exhaust work done was amazing, the shop that did it is United Exhaust Shop in Long Island NY. Price was good as well for complete mandrel bent 304 ss.

Did you cut your rear bumper or did you use a different rear bumper?

I cut the original bumper but also had body shop give the cutout section "lip" to look like oem.
