Lightbulb Help on Exhausts?

I have a 2002 C 320 and in desperate need of an exhaust, but i am so lost in this huge market. Someone help me, I want a nice throaty sound, and something that still allows me to hear my music. There are so many companies including Lorinser, Brabus, Carlsson, Remus, Renntech, AMG, Kleemann, Supersprint, and RB tech. This list just continues. I need help.

no matter what exhaust you get...it wont be that loud. I really dont know why, it's just that way. It wil improve but not dramatically.

I got my exhaust from ES motorsport ...custom made

Mine is dual style exhaust single tip.
MY girlfriends bro has single exhaust dual tip.

Power gains from the exhaust system are very, very small if at all. You should base your choice on three parameters. Sound/looks, build quality and price.

How loud you want it and what it looks like are probably the biggest concerns- chrome tips? Dual? super loud or discreet?

Build quality is also important- any of the contenders will have good build quality. Welded, rolled? Hangers should be of equal quality to the original component and use existing pick up points.

Finally price: an all stainless muffler that is hand assembled should certainly be more $$ than a machine assembled cold steel model. There is nothing odd about a $1500 rear muffler- but is it worth it?

Contact EvoSport and ask what they recommend- they have first hand experience with many brands. Do the same with another supplier, see what kind of answers they can give you to your questions.
