Thanks for the comments guy. I like my previous outlook very much too but this murdered out look looks very evil in person especially when the black body shines under the sun which makes the car looks very muscular. I get more head turning with this outlook now.

Just had my muffler gutted. The muffler shop took out all the baffles and blah blah blah in the mufflers and made it a straight thru. Now my start up sound is very close to a C63 and have more rumble and growl in the 1k-2k rpm. Also alot thraotier and deeper tone in higher rpm. There is no drone and sounds like stock when idle.You can really hear the air going thru the mufflers just when you step the gas pedal down a bit. I also noticed a much gain of low end torque maybe because now the muffler is a straight thru. I just bought 2 random technology high flow cats and will be replaced with the primary cat looking for more sound and performance. Will upload some picture of the high flow cats once installed on the car. Now my set up is going to be 2 high flow primary cats, straight pipe all the way to the C63 mufflers. Will try to upload some sound clip if possible. Stay tuned.

Yup! They'll be up in few minutes!
I did replace my mufflers and tips, and since it's a CDI (Diesel) I got a very barely noticeable tiny little growl... And I was disappointed because I thought I would get much more noise with these BOSAL/G-Power mufflers...

Magnaflow would be better if you want more noise

I think the only thing that strikes me as a bit too aggressive is the front spoiler, other than that car looks awesome! Thanks for the updates, nice to see some modded coupes as inspiration.

I was told that it wouldn't make any difference since it's a Diesel... And to be honest, I don't care anymore about it... I have new projects! >
I updated the pictures if you're still interested!
By the way, I love your E class more than any other of its class, and I think it should be featured in MBUSA, for real dude! Cheers!

W209, E46 M3 (dead), S54 swapped E46 Touring
You have helped me make up my mind. I wasn't sure of what I wanted next but always loved the C207 because of my black W209. Beautiful car and I can't wait to see more updates.

I drove w209 too before I switched to c207. One of the reasons is the front electric folding chair and more leg room in the back and definitely more driving pleasure with the c207.

Dude your car is so legit. What do you have for mufflers? I want more sound out of my car, but the only thing left to do is either a muffler delete or a muffler swap.

I have gutted C63 mufflers. It sounds loud when accelerating but not deep enough. Hope this set up can tune up the sound otherwise I might get Eisenmann or Meisterschaft.

Just installed the x pipe yesterday but the result was not under my expectation. The sound is much quieter compare to my straight piped secondary cat. Now the engine sound is even louder than the exhaust sound but sure the sound is deeper and smooth. Before swapping the x pipe the sound has more rumble to it but becomes raspy at higher rpm. I'm going to replace the stock primary cat with the high flow cat to see if the sound can get better in combo with the x pipe. Otherwise will test again wit the straight piped secondary cat to see if the sound will get deeper but retain the rumbling sound.

Woah ! Just replaced the primary cat with Random Technology 2.5" cat ( part#141-25000 ). Gained a very noticeable torque and the sound level is very good now. Sounds stock when idle and a very deep growl when punching the pedal. I didn't expect the high flow cat and x pipe combo can work out this well !
