I would recommend a delete on the secondary Cat, it will sound awesome.. the secondary cat is not regulated by the o2 sensor.
Pinned!
I notice when people delete the secondary cat they seem to smoke. Is that something that goes away?
@@michaelhorstman2603 They wont smoke if you drive them hard enough to clean out the EGR
Don't just cut stock mufflers bend pipes and put straight it sounds perfect
Is this smog legal? I’m in California and I’m always told that I’m in the worst state
As a proud new owner of a 2008 c300 sport, I consider this channel now the law for everything I need. I don't ever typically leave comments, but you are literally the goat. Keep connecting the MB community and grinding for us. Thank you.
God damn THAT comment deserves the gold 🏅!! Stay tuned exciting stuff to come!
Appreciate the review. I first tested mine without mufflers solely and after two weeks I went back to stock due to raspiness around 2500 rpm (added quad tips then) I was for sure going to go X-Pipe next, but I may reassess due to your honest review.
It does sound good from outside. I think there's just a lot of sound deadening material on a Mercedes Benz so inside the cabin, you're not hearing as much. If someone wanted more, I guess they could always install performance mufflers. I seen a video of a straight piped C350 and it was way way too loud. I personally love the way exhaust sounds in this video. I just think it's something to the effect of you'd have to roll your windows down to experience the sound a little more in the Mercedes :-)
Delet the resonators I have the exact same car and the resonator delete makes a huge difference. If your looking for a difference in sound you get get rid of those. Of your worried about being pulled over because of sound them leave the car alone plain and simple. The resonators are there for a reason.
I'd recommend racing mufflers or taking off the mufflers.
Pypes M-80 will make much better sounds.
I got rumble mufflers & didn’t like the sound,
cut em off, getting ax pipe added today
@@idknotsure As long as you get exhaust tips, the cops shouldn't trip.
You have to get a muffler delete and x pipe for best results
@@user-px8ny5tb6jI did on oh 2013 and it sounds nice at high rpm n get a bit of burble on down shift n desl
finally someone out up an install video
Paul Fitzpatrick I wanted to say the same thing. Everybody else just shows the finished product and I want to know how does it all work. I'm excited to do this mod
I think, that X-pipe should be installed as close as possible to engine...
If u live in california consider the high flow cats instead of deleting them works for smog regulations on the coast every county is different with their smog regulations but mine past smog check in santa cruz county with the magnaflow catback
What about drilling a few more holes in the resonator? Will the exhaust be just a tiny bit louder without compromising the system?
Raymond I enjoy watching your videos as they’re very informative. Could you please in the near future do an exhaust setup as I’d want to do the same with my car? I thought of doing a muffler delete but don’t want to loose back pressure. The Xpipe option isn’t much noticeable. I guess I’m loling for something in between
+Sam Sult I do plan on revisiting my exhaust real soon. I'm just looking into some other options.
Hello great honest review! I was wondering if you could let me know what the size of the tailpipes are ? I am thinking about doing the same thing the trouble is there are so many different sizes of tailpipes available, I want to connect to the standard mufflers like you have done, thanks mrix
new URL for the tips please
Imo its sounds much better than stock and price for just Xpipe install is so cheap
What's the exact sound that you are looking for?
2014 c300 luxury 3.5L any exhaust recommendations
Getting cross pipe and valvetronic exhaust on my sl500 with the valvttronic u open and close the exhuast only $600
i have a 10 c300 and music to my ears is NOT having to hear the exhaust. you dont buy a non amg and then make it loud. you buy it for comfort and to daily drive. BUT...i will say to each their own.
You are clearly the dumbest personne in this world 🤣
Your comment about magnaflow being more for american muscle cars i have to disagree with because i had magnaflows on my G35 infiniti they sounded amazing n i also had a high flow magnaflow catback on a bmw 325i and it 2 sounded great especially for that type of bmw they usually dont sound good but that 1 did it sounded similar to the infiniti so if u have a v6 there is definitely magnaflows that will make it sound good
I think if I could have done it again I would have cut the cats off
@@RaymondUrias look up G35 with magna flow exhaust they have a really good sound for v6s do u still have the car?
Actually look up mercedes c300 magnaflow exhaust n they make 1 specifically for that car i just checked it out theres a video a white c300 with blue tips magnaflow xpipe sounds really good damn i should be getting paid by magnaflow for all this advertising im doing for them lol
Recipe for major headache on long trips in addition to the faux power feeling.
also would u strongly recommend to get H style oval tips over Y styles round tips or oval ? H n Y meanig the shape the pipe makes your actual tips are considered h style tips . im about to do this to my car just gor the looks and just wanted to be sure h is a beter fit rather then Y style. but i guess the exhaust shop will make it fot either way but itll also save them adding a piece if i use a h style and have it welded like u have
also what size inlet do your quad tips have? i noticed they flange it out but what size was it originally just so i can ballpark what size i can buy at least
love your vids mate very helpful and educating indeed keep em coming
Is there any difference in sound vs performance in having the x pipe on the muffler side vs further up where the resonator used to be? Yours is the first I’ve seen on the muffler side.
Closer to the headers create better scavenging.
You can definitely hear the c350 engine with no modifications especially when merging onto highway.
What’s your opinion on removing secondary cats ? I know a some people that did it and it sounds great with X-Pipe ?
Get rid of them totally worth it
is the sound difference significant after installing the xpipe? I read somewhere that meddling with the resonator is a big nono
The only time that you notice it is during cold starts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with changing out the resonator there is no computer that is going to read that. The big No-No is the catalytic converter since most states require them for emission standards you should not touch them. Removing the cats can make the vehicle sound significantly different and much louder. But you will also throw a series of error codes
Maybe I missed it, but what model/year is this?
Great video. I've got an 03 clk500. I want an X-pipe, add a pipe for duals and I was thinking Flow Masters and those bad ass tips. I was probably going to cut the other side but really don't want to mess it up. Can I use a rear bumper from an AMG model that already has the dual cut-outs ?
Flowmasters are chambered mufflers, it will give you more of a hollow sound, remember about it ;) If that's what you want to achieve, then feel free to do so. If you want something else, don't go for Flowmasters. When it comes to the bumper, I'm not sure if CLK55 AMG had dual cut outs, from what I remember it has still a single exhaust exit.
These muffler guys are great.. they do all my mufflers
does it throw up a check engine light while having it installed ?
No
@Raynond Urias does this makes your non complaint with the law? I'm in MO state.
It will not effect emissions the cats are not being touched
Hey bro, do you have any vid of the car on acceleration with the x pipe? Thinking about the mod but if you're not impressed, I'm thinking twice. Thnx

Go to 8:40
Lol gotta watch past the first 5mins take longer poop
I am looking to start modding my car but i do not know where to start from.. I have the quad tips down, but i do not know what cold air intake parts to get as well as if the Borla mufflers work great for European cars? and what else would i have to do
thank you
Renntech tune!!
Cold air, 2nd cat delete, highflow mufflers, coilovers
is this an m271? this sounds amazing
I’m not sure about to much about cars but I’m order to put a X pipe on do I have to remove my resonator?
Yes
I just put a regural xpipe for 29 from amazon sounds ok but kept original quad tips for now u recommend changing them so it sounds little better?
Remove 2nd cat
@@RaymondUrias thanks. My resonator was closer to the back and i had 2 cats before it is a 2012 c300. And is it normal to smell like something burning after the wielding ? Thank you again sorry for so many questions usually i keep cars stock
@@nicknick6960 should go away after 100 miles
So I just bought a 2014 C350 coupe. So what would you recommend me doing. AMD where did you get your rear diffuser. I want it to sound mean but not raspy.
Resonator to X-Pipe and delete secondary cat's. Keep the factory exhaust
Have a c230 2007 what should I do to itt
on average how much should the install cost for an x pipe? all i know is that it’s not a long process
$200 given the prices of steel and aluminum could be more...
@@RaymondUrias thanks man
Hey, so the 'h' style tips fit better than the 'y' style??
If you want it to contour the rear yes
I've been thinking about doing this but I kinda like driving around like a ninja lol
That's why you get a 2nd cat delete and x pipe
+eigdf uggggh I know I messed up. I will fix it very soon.
We’re to get x pip and tips or place that did your installation

Link for that diffuser?

Are they on federal across from the car rental place?
Yup!
Raymond, since you ended up not liking the end results of installing this xpipe, did you ever change this out with something else?
+Bernie Cruz not yet. But I did find that i love the sound of the catback system with an Xpipe. It drops the back pressure significantly and allows for faster response of gas. The only draw back is the drone will be heard at highway speeds.
these guys are by the airport?
Nope they are on federal between Gateway and Boynton
Hi bro I need this kind of exhaust pipe for my car, please can you direct me where I can get it
Link is in the description ;)
Is this on federal close to the Walgreens? Florida
Yup in Boynton Beach just a click north of Boynton Beach blvd
Raymond Urias I’ve know these guys since I was 12 man now I’m 22😂
Hahahaha that is awesome
Whatever you do your not going to get 63 sound just because the engine not v8
+zaid khaled obviously lol if I want a v8 I get into my F150 lmao. I'm content with the V6 I have a BMW Z3 3.0 if I can get it to sound that good ill be happy!
Look into Dynamax mini bullets..
will I be able to pass the insurance if I do the same thing to my car?
Yes
Is it legal to add a x pipe?
Yes
Nice difuser man!
Hey raymond can u message me where i can find these ones! Thanks
U were supposed to do a muffler delete with the X pipe homie that was a waste of day
911 911 what mufflers did you go too let me know asap
These are the factory mufflers. If you plan on buying a set for with Eisenmann's it's niiiiiice
I have a question. It doesn't have to do with an exhaust system. But I just purchased a 2010 C300. Some of the button covers are starting to wear off. Do you have a fix for that?
+Mandy Hess I would honestly try and find new buttons on eBay or a junkyard and switch them out. You could try the sticker approach but it may look cheap
I looked at the sticker approach but it looks cheap from what I've seen. I guess I'll have to order new ones.
+Mandy Hess go on eBay and buy the buttons. They aren't hard to change
They sell new button covers on eBay
Just get a muffler delete and you'll be set
I want to do this exact mod in my 07 S550, W221. What part #’s do I need for these same tips and X pipe?
Gotto take mufflers off my man. Those big ass mufflers restrict so much it’s insane. I have my c300 with muffler delete and coupe and it sounds way better than this
Bro quick question .u did that just for the sound or that add some hp?
+elche Sound. There is no HP gain from doing this.
Doesn't Sound Tuned . . . Spend the Money for Headers , catback with X-Pipes.
shouldve deleted the mufflers too way better soound
Mainly the reason it’s not a big difference is because you only have a v6 it’s not a big amount of power in that engine. The amg is a supercharged V8
Quincy Williams No man there is no w204 supercharged engine . Please do not interrupt the others with your ignorance.
Better buy an AMG
Is that a c200 lol why bother
Get an AMG if you want more. Common sense
...
Gift me 20k and I will do just that🤨
+20k only for the car, plus insurance, plus taxes, plus fuel consumption, only because I want a slightly louder car... I don't know if you guys ever read what you write before sending it... 🤦♂️
get an amg
Get a V8 benz! Then you will hear something bad ass!
+Mike Anninos I agree 💯
$300 is a scam? Really!!!! I had a single tooth pulled for $300Dollars and he only took 5 minutes to pull out! Now that’s a scam artist! It took me longer to count $300 dollars out of my pocket than it took to yank out a $300 tooth?
Stephen Denney gotta pay for the air conditioning!
+Stephen Denney lol I know what you mean
Lol amg wannabe
Damn right
I just had my rear cats taken off my 204 C63, so now its loud as hell since now it has the resonator and secondary cats removed. I can be heard over 1.5 - 2 miles away when I'm heading toward the person listening
I should have done that
Great Video ! Raymond keep bringing the great content...The cold start sounds wonderful btw it's good to see the BMW
+Mari Stith Thanks man!
Raymond Urias Any time 👌🏽
300 bucks for an x-pipe install with new tips really isn't a bad price
That's a huge hike in the price..I paid $60 for my x pipe on my w211 e350...and got the muffler delete as well and its sounds amazing..got a lot of compliments on how it sounds..I think he should have got the mufflers deleted
$300 is too much
You never said what model/year you are driving. I have a 2008 Mercedes CL550AMG. I’m interested to find out what my best option would be for a cool sports exhaust.
should have removed secondary cats and put x pipe there instead then remove resonator and straight piped to tips and muffler delete. bringing the x pipe closer to the cats rather in place of resonator improves not only better performance, but improved exhaust scavenging. Will sound better too especially on a v8. This setup is raspy and sounds like a rice burner imo
Has anyone tried this?
Lmk
I did the same resonator delete and xpipe install on my GLK350 (same engine) I was also a little disappointed with outcome. cold start does sound nice, at first i could hardly tell a difference but after a month or two it seems that it has become a little louder and more noticeable. I can really tell when I hear my wife take off in the morning. Our benz's are really well insulated from outside noises. I expected something louder but paired with an aftermarket intake it does sound better. good video. Btw i went to a local muffler spot, they made a custom xpipe and charged me $200 for install, I did not do stainless because I switch cars often and usually dont keep a car past 2 years.
Resonator should have been left on and mufflers straight piped instead. I made the same mistake too.
i got straight pipes and left others im fine
wdym by this? Is a straightpipe w stock resonator better than x pipe without mufflers?
@@hassanhasan1297 do whatever its gonna be loud
I have a W164 ML500. We removed the mufflers and ran straight pipes. Sounds Awesome. Only was $240
if anything magnaflows sound great on imports and smaller engines. Your biggest mistake was leaving stock mufflers on the car.
Drop that z3 to the ground
Thanks for the beautiful video bro I would like to change it the same with my Mercedes Benz ml
It's the mufflers bro. As long as you have that stock shit, your vehicle is gonna sound, well... Stock.
This is a good example of when to leave things be and save shit loads of time and cash. In the UK they are looking at all vehicles with modified exhaust due to the ridiculous amount of noise from some of them. I live near a hill and I so it wont come a minute too soon.
Just go straight out without a muffler on either side and to your to the new tips and you still might not be satisfied with that it's still going to be maybe not as loud as you like on account of it being turbocharged and the catalytic converter being up there in the front
are the “second cats” just secondary resonators? will deleting them void my warranty? & will it pass inspection? i live in hawaii btw. thanks! i think your car sounds great
+kekoa gabriel This is a great question!!! The secondary cats are legitimate cats and removing any emission controler on your car will void the warranty in full. The way the secondary cats work is when you initially turn on the car the primary cats are cold and can only catch some of the exhaust, the secondary catch what the first miss till they reach operating temp. Will you pass an emissions test well that depends. If it is an OBD2 test yes you will since the O2 sensor is after the first cat. If they do the sniffer test and stick the probe in your exhaust you will fail the test if your car is starting from a cold start. This is the reason I did not remove mine.
What's the point? Its a Benz not a Ricer!! WTF
You should of deleted the mufflers it would of sounded a lot better !!!!!and louder
+Snoopy4156 I Know but between the blacked out headlights and limo tint I didn't want another ticket.
Raymond Urias it is that bad there ?!?
+Snoopy4156 Yes.
I just got my xpipes delivery today for my 300c 2009 do you think I should change the moflers too?
Gianny Castellanos go with spintech pro street 9000 mufflers way better and more aggressive than any flowmaster including the 10 series. Thank me later lol
Hey, I see that you no longer upload W204 content, but do you have an updated link for the tips?
I don't upload anything anymore. Ebay has been a good spot to check
@@RaymondUrias thanks for all the content. Enjoyed watching this series and the foxbody. Respect your decision! 🫡
You mentioned that you're going to swap out the door speakers.... I thought all Benz come with BOSE, Blaupunkt or Harmon&Kardon? Aren't these the top brands on the market? Or am I outdated? lol
+Bernie Cruz Benz come with Audio 20 which is garbage. You do have the option to upgrade to H/K and such. They are great if you got that option but mine did not come with that.
lol that’s why florida #1 every vehicle I’ve owned cats gone muffler gone including my 08 c300 i hollowed cats though and cut mufflers off who cares lol I like the noise
Well..you bought a Mercedes, that's why it sounds so quiet in stock exhaust.
caalcb7 useless comment in so many ways😂
A non-AMG mercedes too. They are designed to be quiet
It’s NOT a quad exhaust brah.
It’s a simple dual exhaust maybe with quad tips but it is still only a dual exhaust.
Actually Buy 316 Stainless Not 305 that’s Garbage
Hello Raymond, I would like to know what is the Magnaflow Xpipe entry, of 2.5 o 3 ?? And if the tips go in the same measure ??? Help thank you
2.5" xpipe
Tips 2"....I think
Raymond what do u think of deleting the resonator and not install an x pipe?
Who don't want listen bla-bla shit
8:40
Hello Raymond, should I buy quad tips for doing the same mod for my car?? Or it isn't necessary?
You don't need to buy the tips they don't change any sound whatsoever. If I could re do it I would have removed the second cat and removed the resonator and put the xpipe in
can you please let me know where I can buy those 308 stainless steel tips exacly and that scnd resonator does it have anythink like a sensor going tpo it wanna make sure no engine light will come up
2011 e550
Links are in description. The only sensor on the car is pre and post cats.
Nah nah that “Factory cold start” was deffo not factory nope nope no nah ☝🏽
