Will C32 AMG exhaust fit C230K Sedan? Any alternative?

I'm new to the group so please excuse me if this question has brought up before.

I'm just wondering if anyone put a C32 exhaust on a W203 C230k sedan. If so, is it a easy swap?

Also, if someone have some other brand of exhaust installed, please post your feedback on how you like that as well. I'm particular interested with the remus exhaust since I had it put on to my E36 325i and it feels good.

Thanks!

You have a C230K SEDAN already???????? I thought they havent started production??? I know its possible to put C32 exhaust on a C240/320, I see no reason why you cant put it on a C230K sedan since they all share the same chassis. I know someone will put a Brabus exhaust on a C-coupe soon. Remus...umm....should be pretty loud?!

Hi Harris,

Thanks for the info. Remus is louder than the OEM exhaust (at least for bimmer) but it's just right to me, and I'm not sure if I can put a C32 catback exhaust and stick with the C230K stock header...

Yes the C230K sedan is out already, at least in Calif that is the case.

Someone actually post some pics earlier on the C32 and C230K, and they look pretty nice. Check it out if you have time

If by "exhaust" you mean the muffler, it probably will. I doubt any of the rest of it is the same, considering the 230 is an I4 and the others are V6's.

I've heard the AMG SLK32 exhaust on an SLK230 and it didn't sound that great, barely noticible. This would be the similar comparison as the SLK32 and C32 use the same motor and the SLK230 and C230K use the same motor (except for the new 1.8L). I think the problem is that muffler is designed to flow for a 350HP motor, put it on a puny 1.8L 189HP motor and you may make less power and less noise. Check with Remus, Supersprint, Renntech for mufflers specifically designed for that car.

All AMG mufflers are mild. If more noise is desire go with Remus, Eisenmann, Supersprint and perhaps the more costly Lorinser, Brabus or RennTech.
