It's a 2016. Perhaps it's different for different markets.

The initial roll was 1.52m x 9.05m but I ran a little short on the rear bumper, so worth going a little extra in case of mistakes.

@@frax77 so 10 meters you would say?

@TheMasterizzatore yep

I did find the transmission doesn't really like being cold. I used the AMG screen to monitor the temps and let it warm up a bit before asking it to perform. From memory it's a fairly agricultural gearbox, so I'm not sure we should expect the refinement of some if the later Mercedes fleet. But to answer your question, I never had any issues with the transmission in terms of faults or breakages.

Truth be told that was also a wrap.... I've since painted it black.

Depreciation makes a second-hand purchase more viable. What's with the interiors? I would rate the Merc interior quite high 🤔

Nah mine didn't die. A friend has had that happen though on his S3 but luckily managed to get them replaced under a third party warranty. Seems to be more and more common now. May be worth approaching Audi.

Give this one a go... www.ebay.com.au/itm/284202249633?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=GKqBM0CzTey&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=laluAbHrS9u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Still love the tone, no major drone. Have extractors to go on the car soon. Will update with a video when I do the install 👍

​@@frax77very keen to hear it with the headers

@@INNITR53 will get them fitted soon 🙏

I'm not sure, maybe shoot them a message. I've actually got the front half sitting on a shelf here waiting to be installed...just need some spare time lol

Tbh I haven't tested the 100-200. Engine wise, it's just intake and a cat back exhaust. There's a video of all the mods somewhere on the channel 😄

regardless of what's on your odometer, how many km does your car have? Any issues up to this point? If so id be interested to hear what.

Actually, mine was sitting at around 90,000km at the time of this video (around 56,000 miles). During my ownership, I had no issues at all aside from wearables such as tyres and brake pads. I think mechanically these are pretty bulletproof.

@@deffinez9651to make u feel better, I purchased a used 2017 C43 AMG with 55k miles on the dash, I’ve put over 10k miles on it in 2.5 months and it hasn’t given me a single issue, it’s tuned by DME, has intakes and I drive it in individual or sport + over half the time I’m in the car and it has never once given me an issue ( knock on wood) it’s a great car and in my opinion the best bang for ur buck 😊

I bought a 2018 c43 3 years ago and now have about 47k miles on it. I use it as my daily driver and no major issues. Tires only so far and I've changed the oil every 5k miles. Funest car I've ever owned... highly recommend it

100%.....expensive lesson. 😪

Actually, servicing is not that bad as it is a high production engine. Some places still slap on the AMG tax, so shop around. 👍

Definitely not in Australia 😄

Not that it will help, but I have the headers at the shop ready to install 😀

@@frax77haha. Maybe that’ll be enough to make me copy your build. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds.

Swivel the mirror outward (or inward, I forget) and it should reveal the securing bolt.

Ohh that easy. So if I buy new or used ones, it's that simple to just swivel and tighten the bolt. Someone along the way modded another type Porsche mirrors but do not know which model. I do not know how to attach photos to show you

Just message my Instagram. The only other consideration is the wires that control the electric mirror, but it should just be a plug connector.

@@frax77 I've messaged your IG. Thanks mate

Well, it's a good thing I have the rest of the exhaust just delivered, ready for install 😄 Next video....

Thanks mate, don't worry, something special is on its way 😉 If you can stretch to a FL there are some key advantages, such as engine block material, digital dash, and potential.performance from upgrades.

@@frax77 thanks for the reply Mate. I currently have my ML 63 2006/7 up for sale, it’s a beautiful beast. Tuned and exhaust with huge list of preventative maintenance done on it. As soon as I sell it , I will get serious. It’s on FB and CS . Cheers.

Feel your pain, trying to unload the C43 but market is complete 💩 haha

@@frax77 the market is dead, it’s so annoying.

At the time of the video, it was stock, yes.

@@frax77 thanks and it was impressive but did you said is not much different if you are driving ?

In terms of performance, it's not a huge change, no.

@@frax77 I mean the sound from inside the car 😅 can’t hear much different? Thanks

Ah yes, the cabin is very well insulated so if your windows are shut it only sounds a little louder. BUT, outside the car sounds amazing 😄

🤣

Have you paired the steering wheel to the module? I think you need to hold down both buttons or something like that. Anything in the instructions?

Thanks. The ride quality will depend a lot on the quality of coilover you buy. Since mine are just cheapies, the ride is pretty rough, and I'll likely upgrade them at some stage. The biggest problem you'll encounter is clearance between the front coilovers and wheels, hence why I had to run spacers. Alternatively, you'll it have to factor in some appropriately offset wheels.

@@frax77 Not quite sure I understand don’t the springs come with the maxspeedingrods. Weren’t you using the springs that came in the kit ?

Yes, I did. The problem is that the factory springs are quite short so they dont come close to interfering with the wheel. The aftermarket coilovers use longer springs, so the lower mounting plate, or adjustment rings, are inline with the wheel/tyres. Pretty sure I showed this on the vid 👍

Thanks. I don't generally regret selling my cars, but lets say if you made me choose between them, I'd go the RS3. 🙂

They didn’t make a c43AMG in 2016… Mercedez made the c450AMG in 2016 2017- present c43AMG

Might be different in other countries, but my registration documents list it as a 2016 C43 (Australia)

maybe it was made in 2016 but is the 2017 model.

Would be nice for resale if that was the case haha 😄

Email them directly malianexhausts@gmail.com and they should be able to send an online invoice via email. I think I had the same issue. Tell them you saw it on my channel 😁👍 @kagetradinglimited8410

Maxspeedingrods. Cheapies that do the job, but I may upgrade down the track. The ride is....let's say....solid. 😁

Also in WA and have been modding my R53 for a fair while, also Hyper Blue and White combo, I went with Koni yellows and Eibach progressive rate lowering spring with Kmac Camber plates and Whiteline sway bars and end links, powerflex bushes etc with 17 x 7.5 Rota grids and love it... hope i see this one on the road one day she looks great 👌

@jasonwest1343 would love to catch up and shoot the breeze sometime....still so much to do on mine to bring it up to snuff 😄

@@frax77 mate that would be great, I'm a big car enthusiast and love my drivers cars and a good chat .

Cool, you can reach me through instagram (@fraxgram77)

I ordered direct from Malian. Send them an email and tell them you saw my video, and they might give you a good deal. 👍

Haha nah, not brave enough on our public roads. 🤣

Haha okay 😁

Direct from Malian mate. 👍 @malianexhausts Malianexhausts.com

The software is Spectune

Think it worked out to around 50+
