DA*N AMGTestDriverNJ CUTTING THEM DOWN EARLY . He is right i don't think that the badges need to be tampered with. AMG is such a strong word yeah i know we go t the AMG kit on the car but is it a true AMG that is the ? to each his own but not a fan of the AMG emblem on non AMG cars.
Bear in mind the chap paid extra for what MB call the "AMG SPORTS PACKAGE"

Some people feel that putting C63 badges on their C300s/C350s somehow makes the cars' owners better people or more deserving respect, in one way or another. I think that notion is just absurd , and I don't condone the practice in any way, shape or form. I think such fakery is stupid, and would never do it. Furthermore, I think the fewer badges a car has, the better; so, I wouldn't go around adding more badges instead of removing them.
As for the member above, however, he wasn't even posing his car as a C63. He only put an AMG sticker on, for whatever reasons. What's wrong with that? He has AMG parts, and some of those parts probably came supplied with an AMG badge.
I simply fail to see why the AMG Police must go around berating random strangers for their stylistic choices on their own cars. I've seen a beat-the-hell-up 1980s Honda Accord runnning around with all badges replaced with BMW roundels, but I didn't go up to him and start yelling, "You fool! Take off those badges! How dare you! This isn't a BMW! You have no right! This is absurd! I simply won't have this! Travestyyyyyyy!!! " What right have I got to do so, unless I'm his sugar daddy and have paid for the car?
I've said the same in so many different posts, it's beginning to get tiresome.
But worry not, my fellow brethren. Whenever the AMG Police appears, I'll make sure to be there to provide a counter argument. Just because.
Fear not, for I am here. I am the anti-Snobbery Police! Dan-da-ra-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

For the people who want the partnumbers see below.
Exhaust C63 system, left and right.
gokalp, just want to make sure... you have the right-hand drive car right? I am just wondering if the exhaust would be different between left-hand and drive-hand.
Are you 100% sure about the exhaust part numbers? If yes, I would like to order them.
I have noticed it's usually the folks with older AMGs that get most offended. Hmm.
Yes the the part numbers given are correct.
Hey Gokalp, where are the pictures??? i dont see hem??

With those part numbers, what did they give you exactly? The muffler or just the tips or both? And how much was it?
A catalyser, for street usage, will provide MORE then enough backpressure to keep the needed torque at low RPM. Switching out you OEM muffler for a straight through design can only be beneficial in terms of TQ and HP. If we were talking about removing catalysers, I would definately agree with what you said.
I have a muffler bypass GT3 Cup setup on my 911 and i have noticed a loss in low end acceleration.
That or Remus needs to offer a quad exhaust setup w/ oval tips for the C350.
anyways, what if someone were to make a tip for the stock c300/350 exhaust that fit that area. i would guess something that looks like the lexus ls. would that be whack?
that sure would save a lot of work and money and is easy to return to stock. i wouldn't want to put 1600 on an exhaust unless i would see substantial gains. plus i didn't buy this car for speed although it is plenty quick for my needs right now.
Methodz now that os an idea. A single tip to fill the quad space so only the tip would be replaced. For people with leases this looks like a solution.
I'm down with getting a replacement dual tips, rather paying big bucks in reworking the exhaust. I really like the shaped flush fitting exhaust of the LS, but getting the exhaust tip to line up with the bumper opening would be hard. Lexus has mastered this for 20 years, but American cars still couldn't get it right even with their huge bumper cutouts.
hmmm...maybe i'll buy stock c63 diffuser and measure the stuff out. get my coworker to make a foam mold and see if someone can fabricate a tip. of course this won't happen for months the way i move. too busy at work. haha, yeah mine is a lease so i want mods that are easily reversed and that would be the best option in this case.
i'm more worried about the tips melting or burning the diffuser than getting it to line up. maybe one of these days i'll make a 3d rendering when i get the measurements.
