if you don't want loud, go REMUS

Eisenmann Race = Badass

have anybody tried the magnaflow setup yet? I dont want to spend much money with the remus, plus I seen in this forum people saying that the magnaflow is a bit nicer than the remus, its less load and it has the same deep noise. let me know what you guys think, I dont want my car to sound like a HONDA. lol

thanks

a few people here have custom setups with magnaflows...sounds good and a great price

I just replaced my stock muffler with a stainless Magnaflow XL Performance exhaust on my 325i and I love it! I immediately noticed an increase in performance and it sounds pretty good; not too loud, but has a nice little rumble.

Here's a pretty good example of what it sounds like:

However, I wouldn't put this on my benz, because I like my benz to be quiet and classy

Im looking for something to replace my muffler on my ML 55 but everywhere i look i cant find anything for the magnaflow or flow master for the ML55 im guessing anyone would work but which is a good price for the money?

you have to get a universal muffler and custom piping

I did a custom 2.5" cat-back pipe and replaced the rear o.e.m muffler with a Magnaflow "street series" 5x8" oval muffler with the 3.5" stainless dual tips.
Looks AWSOME, I get great compliments and deff. add to the cars look. In total I didnt spend more than $350 for a fully functional exhaust, the piping is aluminum with several coats of exhaust paint and the muffler is of course stainless steel.

Things i like:

- looks AWSOME.
- power increase in the low end 1k-3.5K rpm
- sounds AWSOME out side.. it has a high-pitch sound..with a nice rumble to it, similar to the one you would hear in a modena 360.

things I dont like:

- muffler is to small compared to OEM muffler, therefore you get lots of interior noise...

thats about it.....

any specific one? there are so many to choose from from what i last remember im going to take a look right now..

i would not use the 14816 on your car, imo it will be way too loud. the universal magnaflow mufflers with tips are generally used on japanese 4cyl cars. If you do want to go with the magnaflow, use the largest cross-section that will fit in your stock location, buy the tips seperately, and then custom bend the piping in-between. this will give you the best result and not look out of place on your mb

Would anybody know the stock number for the magnaflow exhaust? I was thinkign using the 14816, but JPARCH just said that it would be too loud. thanks

i have the same type of muffler on my SLK320 just with different tups and it is loud..... i have a soundclip of it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmEODAFIINk


it sound alot deeper in person, but you get an idea.... that was with 2.5" piping.

Eisenmann for sure.

Eisenmann race exhaust is the only way to go... raw sound and it's custom made for your car
