Congrats but we may need more details on it .
I don't recommend a cat delete in any other Mercedes - Benz vehicle at all .
Tuning could be an option here but unless a bi turbo I don't think it would be worth it

OP, what are you trying to achieve with the cat delete? Performance? Sound? If so just go downpipes.

I got the car. And wow. I like the c300 better because it's sporty, but damn I needed this. Although I only got 415 on a tank.. not getting the 36 combined people state. Idk why. Is there something that could be clogged?

after 2 hours in the c mybody is beat, but the E I can drive all day haha.

I knownthe audi ttv8 diesel can be tuned alot I was curious here. Really wanted mpg out of it more than performance.
