The downside maybe a loss of torque on the bottom end because of less backpressure given the larger diameter exhaust pipes. The final look is really impressive though.

Past experience with AMG C32 exhaust mounted on my C320 made a very slight improvement in the sound department; hardly worth the effort and money really. Also noted a slight loss of torque at low end.

Lowering
Hi, Stevo first of all nice car and rim. I believe that's 19 inch rite.. Do you lower your car? if not, is there a big gap between the edge of the tire and your body? Because i was planning to put 19 inch brabus monoblock vi multi piece on my car. and I wasn't plan to lower it. I got the wheels and rim for $4500

Thanks for the compliments. I didn't lower the car, and I don't have the sports package. There is a gap, but not too bad. If it was really bad I would definately do suspension mods, but it's really not necessary. I like the way the car drives as is, therefore I'm not going to be doing any suspension mods. Brabus mono's would look sick on that car
Good luck with it!
