I'd stay away. Not even mandrel bends.

Nope. But, I did remove the heavy resonator. She idles like a V8 should. BLUM-BLUM-BLUM-BLUM............

Headers + High flow 2nds + X-pipe + resonators sounds absolutely amazing ... honestly the best sounding AMG setup I have ever heard on any AMG. These W210s really do have an amazing exhaust platform to start off with.

Thanks jtbeche

Sounds awesome.. I eager to do up my exhaust !

I noticed your X pipe comes after the high flow Cat.

Would there be a difference if x pipe comes first, then the high flow resonator ? ..

Wat's the difference in the length of the resonator.. ?
Like Magnaflow muffler 10436 is 30 inches in length, and they also have 10426 is 24 inches.. while 10416 is 20 inches length..

Any other tested brand I can buy in Amazon.com ?
