Flexx Alexander I searched through the comments and couldn’t find an answer I have a 2008 c300 4matic sport and was looking to do something similar and can’t find anything especially because I live in MA the Laws here are strict as you know. Everything I’ve found was just straight piping it which we can’t do.
Hey guys, to anyone thinking about doing this to their car, I 100% recommend it! At first I was a bit worried and skeptical about it, but flexx helped me throughout the whole thing, helped me what parts to pick, gave me estimates for me to have the idea on how much I was gonna spend, etc. And overall I decided to do it and I couldn’t be happier! My car looks and sounds amazing! It feels and sounds like a completely different car! So if your thinking about doing this, I honestly recommend you too! You won’t regret it.
It's was a good process to go through with you. I hope you drive that new found beast around with pride!! Great job brother!
I wouldn't go so far as to say it sounds like a V8, but it does look AWESOME and sounds great... better than an I4 has any right to!
agreed, def sounds good tho
just got it installed, sounds amazing! another mod that i should've done years ago
Awesome!!! Glad to hear! 😎🤙🏼
I just setup my c250 with the magnaflow 13148 and the offset amg style tips. Sounds WAY better now. Thanks for the video Flexx
It’s by far the best mod I’ve done to my car and a lot of people have been happy with the setup as well. Glad you enjoying it as well! 😎🤙🏼
Do you have a link for the offset style tips ??
Thanks man, i want to swap my polo gti 6r to w204
I found answers about doing quad exhaust in your video
Great job, man
Glad I could help
I’ve got a 2014 C250 Coupe and am thinking about modifying the exhaust on it z
Sitting on this mercedes c250 is wonderful. I tried its engine. thank you
Finally a channel for c250 lovers, I want to buy a c250 but I needed a channel with mods because stock is too boring. Thanks for creating this channel man
thanks. I struggled with mods for this car since there wasn't alot of info out there. So I started this channel because I want to share with everyone that you can mod a c250 (a mercedes) without breaking the bank and keep it looking tasteful. More videos to come and please subscribe!
Legit , helped me out alot!
Nice. I had several owners do the same exhaust setup and they love it.
Thank you for being a viewer! Make sure you subscribe and spread the word.
great video ! sounds good! thanks for the incite! i've seen the fake quad exhaust on ebay that doesnt require as much piping for 450
You should upload more exhaust clips on your Instagram 👌🏽👌🏽
I will. Thanks!
Question?… I had my c300 w204 straight piped straight to the headers. It sounded so good. It was loud, sounded mean and tough and would crackle💥& pop…. But I would stall out when I would be at a complete stop for a while. I would have to be playing with the shift knob. I would just keep tapping it left & right as if it was a standard transmission car but it was an automatic.
Also sometimes as I was slowing down to a stop after not stopping for a while I would start stalling out. I would feel the gears and have to use my breaks and apply gas as if I was paddle shifting or using a standard transmission
If you deleted your catalytic converters and didn't take care of the codes or add any resistors or anything than your car definitely won't be happy.
Do you have a link for the other quad tips with the offset inlet ?
Following, just in case he gives an answer.
Sounds awesome
Another great video brother, but imagine if you had an amg. Looking forward to the next project.
it doesn’t sound like a v8 it sounds like a wrx instead
it still sound decent tho
holy looks like a c63 w204
Recommend going with single inlet to single outlet and then doing a y pipe after to get the back pressure like stock but still being able to run quads
That’s another option but too be honest, it doesn’t really matter in the c250. Exhaust setup (regardless what it is) is not gonna effect the performance that much. The c250 is slow already but it looks damn good! Lol
how loud is it in decibels, to pass law requiements?
hey Flexx,
what a awesome sounding, I have a 2017 c250(w205) with amg diffuser and also have downpipe&stage 2. do you think this "magnaflow XL 3 chamber stainless steel turbo muffler-2.25"C/2" dual-13148" can be fit with my c250?
Sounds good!!!
thanks!!!
Its a 1.8 litre car?
Yes
Think this’ll be a CARB compliant set up for Ca? I’m looking at doing work on my C-250 Lux once I get the turbo fixed
Great vid bro
Thanks. Just here to help where I can.
Lol V8 ? Not even close but sounds good for a 4pot
great vid!
Thanks for viewing. Definitely subscribe for more great videos! A new video released every Sunday.
Will this fit on to a c180 1.6 AMG 2013??
Did you have to buy the dual pipes online? Or does the muffler shops have some ?
Danny Carrillo that’s what I’m wondering
Hey flex can you tell us if the secondary part was the cat after all or a resonator ?
Hey flexx I have a 2012 c250 cdi, what mods would you recommend for it. Preferably on the cheaper side
Ngl this video just helped me decide to not touch the exhaust on this car this car just sounds quiet no matter what
It will never sound "loud" but it can be louder than stock and have a better tone then stock. Still worth it to me and others but it's your car at the end of the day if you want to keep it stock.
I mean, if you want something louder get a bigger engine man. Lot of people prefer smaller engines ‘cause of gas prices or simply because they don’t live in an area that’s suitable for large engine loud exhaust vehicles. This set up sounds good for a 4 banger. Not too zooty not too dirt bikey.
Is this the diesel c250? For it being a bit black smoky under wot? also for the single exhaust tip? Eitherway super nice setup, they look clean, the diffuser bought where?
This is then regular gasoline c250 coupe. It does get black on the tips but washes right off. I bought the diffuser on eBay. $70-$80. It's in my diffuser install video.
Thanks mate
nice car... but i like the interior of the pre facelift more somehow...
I like the looks of the round dual exhaust tip that you got over the oval shape. What did you have to do to make it fit properly since you said there was a metal box in the way?
Not sure. It’s not perfect on the right. The tips slightly point to the right instead of straight back because the middle inlet is hittin the box area. If you have an offset inlet, aligning the tips is easy and it will point straight back.
Hi i was wondering if you had to run different diameter piping? I see that the outlets for the muffler have a diameter of 2 inches but the inlet for the tips you linked are 2.5 inches. Did they have to modify the piping for it or use clamps to them together? Thanks so much, ive started modding my c class because of your vids!
The shop will make it all work because they supply the piping to connect everything. It’s up the to shop on pipe size. Nobody uses clamps on a custom exhaust like this. Everything is welded.
Hey Flex! Quick question, when you were getting all of the stock piping removed in order to install the new muffler and everything what type of shop did you take the car too when you where going to get all the stock stuff removed below the cat
The same muffler shop I always go to in my exhaust videos. Lou’s in Chelmsford ma.
Hey Flex! Quick question, I have a C250 and I want to get this done but I wanted to ask if you had to buy the piping that runs from the magna flow muffler to the quad tips separately or did the shop just pipe it for you, if so about how much did each pipe cost? thanks!
no, exhausts shops do that. Its part of their price to install the muffler and tips. Usually $200-$400 depending on the shop and if you go aluminum or stainless steel.
Hi Flexx, how can u understand no backpressure for the first muffler?
Hey Mr Flexx I got a MB C300 v6 Engine,could you help me to get that great sound of your car, I want my car to sound the same.
Hey there Flex, do you know if this is possible on a C 200? Or rather if it’s worth doing on one? Cheers from New Zealand :)
Original sound cool
So I have a 2013C350 I am upgrading to quad exhaust. The exhaust that you recommend is it just one muffler or do I buy two?and I apologize this sounds like a dumb question but honestly I'm not mechanically inclined so I before I order it I want to make sure I order what I need. If you don't mind answering this question I really appreciate it
A c350 already has 2 pipes and 2 mufflers. All you need to do is get 2 (single inlet to single outlet) mufflers....buy a set of quad tips, and make sure you buy a diffuser that will have openings large enough to fit the new quad tips. I would suggest your take your car to an exhaust shop and talk to them and tell them what I said above and get their input.
@@TheFlexxGarage I appreciate you responding bck to my questions. I honestly didn't think I would hear from you. But yes sir I will do exactly what you suggested. Going tomorrow morning 😊👍
Hey man, In the video where you said the quad tips should be the offset one, I didn’t order that and instead got some symmetrical quad tips. Will they still work on my c250 and can I just have them stick out a bit more?(yes I have the c63 diffuser installed as well and have a super 10 flow master waiting to be put on)
symmetrical should be fine. That's what's on my C250.
Offset ones are ideal and easier to work with but the symmetrical can still be fitted.
Flex hi , what about same setup with urs but magnaflow not at the middle but left&right at the end?
So I went to this locally renowned exhaust tuning shop recently and they recommended and gave me an estimate for a custom y-pipe setup leading to 2 11225 magnaflow mufflers and then the tips. What are your opinions on this? Btw the quote they gave me is over priced to around $1000.
Is the link in the description still correct? the exhaust tips have a 2.5” inlet and the muffler has 2” outlets.
Yeah it’s still correct
What size are the exhaust tips? I’m looking for some that fill the diffuser up
Already mentioned in the video.
each is 4in
Im looking at getting a 2015 c350 sport package w204 model
Do it. Those are nice!
Hello! tell me on the m274 (2l engine)? need to update? there were errors after installation(check engine)?
Where did you get the rear fairing to go from single left pipe-tip to quads?
It’s in another video. Just go to my channel and search diffuser w204.
Do you guys thing that is gonna be ok if I get a 5x8 instead of 4x9 inch muffler? Still a 2.25/2 inch in/out
Hey Flex!!! I have a C250 4 door luxury and I want to make mine sounds better but I wanted to know If the 2 long pipes came with the magnaflow muffler or do I have to buy them separate? Btw love your vids brother 👌🏾👌🏾
I didn't mention them because you dont buy them. Any muffler shop will run those for you. That's why it's called a custom exhaust setup.
Flexx Alexander ahhh gotcha 👌🏾👌🏾
Flexx Alexander appreciate it fammo. Keep the good content going My guy 🤘🏾👍🏾
is that legal to do in germany?
no
Hey flex so what did they end up doing to get around that right side of that square box ?
Nothing. Just maneuvered until it looks somewhat decent but it’s not perfectly straight.
whats the over all length of the new pipes once fitted(from the cat)?
Don’t know. That’s custom done by the shop. I don’t own this car anymore for years.
Hey Flexx I know this is late but by why didn’t you go with a y pipe instead ?
And what is the difference
Was the MF xl any louder compared to the first one
did this increase the car performance/ hp?
I want to do this to my car but mine its a c250 cdi sport
Will this improve the sound on diesel engines to?
Or should i look for different parts?
My car isnt quiet because i think it has a sound generator from factory but i want to improve a bit more
Thx
Usually yo get sound out of a diesel you need to do a dpf delete, which also gives you a light that needs to be mapped out but will make the car sound amazing for a diesel
It sounds great men, i have a C200 coupe 2018, you think that punt Can function in mine?
Don’t know. We don’t have a c200 in the US, so I have no clue how that car works or it’s parts to modify.
Nice video, diesel car or petrol car?
Gasoline. There’s no diesel Mercedes in the states.
@@TheFlexxGarage
Thanks, every car seems to be diesel here in Spain.👍🏾
Yeah. Most cars Europe is diesel. I hate that the U.S. doesn’t do that cause diesel price is cheap here.
Hi when doing the mounting were the exhaust hangers already there on the none original exhaust side or did they have to fit them?
Shop put new ones on.
Where are yall getting your diffusers
eBay/Amazon. It’s in my diffuser video.
Would my 09 c300 w204 sounds like this?
Did this threw you any codes? And if i do this to my car will i pass inspection and emissions test??
All already answered in tons of previous comments before yours.
Do you think I would be able to keep the secondary resonator (to have it a bit quieter) and then run the magnaflow muffler instead of stock resonator to the Quads?
I was thinking about doing the same, did you keep the second res? How's the sound?
I wanna ask something that no one is asking and I can't understand it from the video, is that diesel or petrol Mercedes c250?
I’m in the USA. We don’t have diesel Mercedes models.
@@TheFlexxGarage oh okay, I'm from UK that's why I'm asking and I couldn't understand if it was diesel or petrol. Thank you anyways !
FLEX!
What diffuser do you have at the rear? This one is perfect as opposed to the large fin one.
I want to do this to my 2015 C 250 Coupe.
Let me know.
Thanks, man!!
it's a standard C63 AMG diffuser. Sells for like $150-$200 I think on ebay. Just search for "W204 C-Class AMG Style Rear Bumper Diffuser"
Will that fit a 2015 C250 coupe???
Most fit 2012 to 2014.
yes...as long as the C250 is the same looking as mine. Because in 2015 they had the W204 and the W205 c-clas platform. The 2012-2015ish C250 coupe are W204 so it will fit.
Great!
Thanks, man!
You are the best!
Hello Flexx,
My Magnaflow 13148 just got delivered today, will be putting it up shortly.
But taking a look at the muffler, there is no actual logo or branding on the muffler itself, but it did come in manufacture box and all the papers with it.
Does your 13148 has branding or logo on the muffler itself? Or this is how the 13148 looks like? If possible could you also provide a picture of your 13148? I wanted to make sure that the genuine Magnaflow was sent to me. Usually I have seen all the magnaflow muffler with magnaflow branding on top.
You’re not alone. That’s how they come. I’ve had numerous people ask me the same question. After the install, they were definitely happy and didn’t care if the logo was on the muffler or not.
Flexx Alexander
Ohh, I see now.
Thats a relief haha. Now I can install it with no worries.
Thank you
No engine light or any issues like that after this mod? Thanks
No. I would let people know if it did.
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks for all the info.
So how were you able to clear that box on the right side I have tips that are your kind of inlet :/
It clears it if you have the tips stick out more from the diffuser. I didn’t do that though. Mine are just slightly, very slightly crooked to the right.
Hi flexx
I really like your channel and I think what are you doing here is amazing
I want to ask you about the c250 because I am planning to buy one
Are there any different between the c250 coupe 2doors and the c250 4 doors in ( front bumper, back bumper, Diffuser, and the hood) are the the same size and can I install the parts from the 4 doors to th coupe??
Most is the same except trunk, wing, seats, door panels. You can interchange grille, front bumper, rear bumper, wheels, headlights, taillights.
I’m not 100% sure if the hoods are the same.
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks very mach I really like your car and you are the reason why I liked this car and want to buy like it thanks again very much
Hi bro I need this kind of exhaust pipe for my car loud one
how would you do it on a 2011 c300?
Looking for a muffler that makes noise when I hit the gas. I don't want any noise while it warms up and sits in driveway. I want to keep the classic feel to the car then when I press gas I want it to roar....any suggestions?
Not possible unless you get a valve system that you can press a button and when you want it to roar.
Anyone know how must this would cost in total?
Would the diffuser fit my c250 2014
Only if you have the sport rear bumper. Not luxury bumper.
Do you have to change the bumper/diffuser to have it able to fit the exhaust tips?
Yes. You need a diffuser that has openings wide enough to support quad tips. Check out my other videos on a diffuser install.
Is it possible to find a carbon fiber defuser with a single note exhaust?
I think they make one. It’s rare but jut check ebay.
Hey Flex, do you think it's possible to have the same setup without removing the secondary cat/resonator?
That’s how I first had it setup. Wasn’t that loud and it wasn’t throaty. It was kinda single note and “meh”.
@@TheFlexxGarage Thanks for your quick reply!
Good luck with your next projects ✌🏼
I have a 2023 Cla 250 4 cyl i want to do this to it but im not to sure
I don’t know that cla platform enough to say do it or not. This video is purely for the c250.
Would I need to buy some pipes ?
On the c250 you think you could do a resonator delete and add an x pipe and do quad tip exhaust
You can’t do an X pipe since there’s only 1 tube coming from the engine. You can only do an X pipe on a c300 that has dual pipes running from the engine.
@@TheFlexxGarage oh ok so you could run a y pipe then right
Yeh. You can. If you watch the video, I don’t need a Y pipe because my muffler has 2 outlet holes already but if you don’t wanna use the same muffler, you will need a Y pipe to split the single tube in order to route the pipes to a pair of exhaust tips.
@@TheFlexxGarage oh ok you think the y pipe would make it louder or would it have same sound as your muffler
I actually like how quite my car is, they never hear me coming lol
Quite or quiet? Lol
Can I do this in a c250 2014?
Yes
Hey flex , I’m thinking to do this, but will any engine code pops out if I do this?
It has nothing to do with engine or sensors to cause a fault
Hey is this petrol or diesel, I have the diesel but the layout under the hood is different to yours
Only gasoline c-class in the US
For me it sounds like a Golf R
I’ll take that as a compliment especially with my car being a base model c-class.
@@TheFlexxGarage i guess
Wondering if that diffuser will fit my 2013 C250 Sedan?? Thanks
It does, mine just came in the mail today and i put it on straight away I have a 2013 c250 sport sedan
That’s a four door right ?
And one question is it legal in quebec canada ?
I wouldn’t know. Haha. I live in Texas. You need to ask people in your area. In the US, if you have the stock catalytic converter, and still have a muffler (doesn’t matter if aftermarket)…you will pass emissions/inspection. Not all states but most. They usually don’t care if the resonators are removed. Catalytic converter and muffler are most important.
Bro how’s this car on gas?
what did you do to the turbo to make it sound louder
My turbo is not louder. Turbo sounds don’t get louder but you can get an intake and blow off valve and that will give the car a unique sound. I already did videos on these on my UA-cam channel.
Does this swap change the emissions? Will it pass an inspection?
2:58 I know I’m a bit late😂 but how did pipe it back, where can I buy the two pipe
You don’t. Any muffler shop will create those pipes and run it back. It’s custom.
@@TheFlexxGarage Thanks
Where and what type of pipe you got? Also how much were they?
It's all listed in the video. Where I bought my pipes, what model and brand and how much I paid.
Where did you purchase the Diffusor?
It’s in the video description
Dis you install a turbo blow off valve on it ????
Yes. In my other video.
Is that any way to get the gear change faster?
Not that I know off. Might be able to get someone to tune the transmission but I bet it won’t improve much.
