Thats what i remember seeing last time i checked.

It's making me go bananas up in here since all I wanna do is remove them to get a different sound to my vehicle but at the same time still be able to pass emissions. I'm getting mixed results. I'll send you a diagram of a few photos. Thanks amg

Are you guys expecting in the sub 7 sec or even in the 6 sec range (100-200km/hr) ?

From a roll the 100-200 time is always gonna be faster than from a stop.

either way new w213 shouldn't be running same as it has much more breath up top from bigger twin scroll turbos ...

I called a bunch of GTA MB dealers at the end of April and nobody has a clue of the wagon pricing, ordering and arrival. My dealer does not even bother to reply my email. LOL. I guess they are tired of asking MB Canada for update.
