Hello fellow GLB owners and greetings from the down under!
Just want to say thanks for so many great mods inspirations from this forum and I would like to share my progress so far on my GLB 250 mods
1. Quad-pipe exhaust tips (AliExpress) - thanks to @Donoban Vasquez!
2. Genuine Brabus Front splitters painted gloss black
3. Front muffler and Resonator delete - thanks to @itsmehuey!
Next on the list will be 20” wheels upgrade but the available options in Australia is quite limited + super expensive
I ordered my BMC FB01045 intake filter from https://modeautoconcepts.com for my 2022 GLB 35. The delivery from Australia to the US took a month but was worth the wait as most other retailers are on a 3 month backorder. Acceleration is quicker, shifts are smoother and ride comfort is better over bumps.
I got it professionally installed due to lack of tools and skills. Donoban’s post is super helpful and seem very straightforward if you know what you are doing
I am based in Melbourne and there is Mercedes specialist garage not far from where I live. I’d say take it to any reputable Mercedes specialist should do just fine as they can access the service manual from Mercedes.
Gave it a go, but the clips were difficult to access and I couldnt get them off
Where in Aus are you located? might have to get a pro to install as well, who would you recommend?
Thanks

How does the exhaust sound after deleting the resonator and front muffler? Did you weld your exhaust into the quad-tip exit? Do you mind sharing pics of your exhaust setup?
Sound wise, you hear more rumble from the engine but not over the top. You can also feel more vibration in the cabin to add further the driving experience. I didn’t modify the rear muffler and the quad pipe exhaust tip is merely cosmetic mods only.
unfortunately I don’t have hoist at home to take more pics. All I did was to remove the front muffler and mid res. I recalled the exhaust guy weld a straight pipe
I see, thank you. I am planning on buying the quad-tip exit and installing it myself. Currently, I have this rear bumper. If I were to get the quad tip exit, would it fit with the stock exhaust?

i am pretty sure it will fit as the stock module and exhaust tip is identical to mine. Anyway you can check the quad pipe here:
Would you mind sending me a video of some revs? I’m thinking of also doing a muffler and resonator delete but I’m worried about what it would sound like.
