Love the sound it's not too much. Thank you for your explanations as well.
Very nice, and greetings from SATX. Just sold my w204 and thinking about getting a w205 in 6 or 7 months once I'm back from overseas. Impressive numbers from a c300 btw!
Excellent job...I ll follow soon...I m a proud owner of a c300 coupe. Thank you for sharing!!
Awesome! The coupe is nice. Thanks for the comment!
Man that sounds strong.
Thanks! Kinda wish I still had that car... Peace
Nice vid! I own a w205 plug in hybrid 😉
Thanks.
Great sound! You have helped me figure out my exhaust set up! Question, did you upgrade the mufflers only, or did you delete the resonators, and go bigger diameter piping from the cat?
Awesome to hear! So, it's been a while, but if I recall... at the time this video was made, I do believe I had removed BOTH resonators. Key here is - at least based on my research - not to straight pipe it. Seems that result will be VERY loud and will drone at highway speeds. So, I ended up cutting the resonators off, and custom fitting a hi-flow resonator in place. Gave the ride no drone and deepened the tone a bit too. You might ask - what was the part you used? I will look and see if I can find it online. But it have been a while. Basically, any kind of Cherry Bomb type of muffler will work, you just need to make sure you get the same diameter as your piping you are replacing. hope that helps! When you get it all done, post ups vid and drop me the link. Peace!
great video, sounds really nice. but I was wondering if you knew what I would need to give my car that crackle and pop.
Thanks for the comments on the video. The simple answer to your question is to get a tune that adjusts the timing, or somehow leaves a certain degree of unburnt fuel in the cylinders to be vented out in the exhaust cycle. This way as the fuel flows through the hot exhaust manifold, it is ignited and creates a "after fire". There are tunes that can create this kind of controlled cycle. Or a turbo anti-lag system, which can do the same. If you are asking because you have a C 300, then AFAIK, only the 2015 (1st gen W205) Sport Edition came with the able to create that sounds you are remarking about - that is what the Merc in this video is. After 2015, all C 300's were not given this feature, as it was offered to the C 450 AMG Sport instead. It only happens in Sport+ mode and is a result of advancing the timing between shifts under hard acceleration. Anyway, hope that helps. Peace.
@@tachikaze7 my 2016 c300 coupe pops and I havent done anything to it yet, getting stage 1 next week so I'm hoping it adds even more.
Hi buddy, greetings from Singapore…did these mufflers fit perfectly or did you have to purchase additional parts to weld them perfectly to the pipes
Hey, Sorry for the late reply... was enjoying Spain. To answer your question: They fit in the sense that diameter to diameter, the stock exhaust pipe and the muffler pipe are the same size (after removing the stock mufflers, of course). There are two ways to fit the mufflers - 1) have them welded on on (the suggested method), or 2) use a pipe coupler (not recommended... but if you have no way to get it welded, this could theoretically work). Hope that helps.
Peace.
How you doing your car sounds good and was lookin quick. I have a question I have a go fast bits blow-off valve & diverter valve. I haven't installed it yet, but i see you had a different one that doesn't make the sssssstt!! noise but actually enhanced something in your car. Can you please leave me the link or the info so I know which part because they have so many that all sound the same at go fast bits.. lol!! So far I have an intake in and I just bought a downpipe which I'm going to install but I'm confused with what else I might or might not take off after I install the DP.?? I want that deep sporty sound but I don't want it to obnoxious. I appreciate you for that.....
Hey, thanks for the comments. I just went and looked for the GFB DV+ on Amazon, which is where I bought it, I will put the link below. So, as a general rule, that pssst sound is actually counter productive, in that it is compressed, charged air that would be better off recirculated back into the turbo system. The DV+ takes that air and uses it to aid in eliminating turbo lag. Instead of venting it into the atmosphere.
As for the DP... I cannot speak to the W205, but when I added one to my WRX, putting that on and having an intake on as well, pretty much bumped it up to Stage 2. Like I said, not sure about the Merc, but on my Subie it required a tune to not only get the best performance, but to run correctly. You may want to research this, it you haven't already.
The DP will introduce some better exhaust sound, but what I learned about the W205 is that the main constriction is in the resonator. The mufflers are also an issue with stifling the sound. But, it you remove the resonator, it will sound VERY raspy. So, the best bet is to remove the resonator and install a small, baffled exhaust - like a cherry bomb. So sound can travel through, but it gets smoothed out.
Hope that helps. Peace.
how's your tune been treating you? i had a burble tune by AMR on mine for two months and one of my piston rods blew lol. i hit up renntech and they said they don't offer tunes for the c300 because the engine is super fragile. i ended up upgrading to a c43 and i havent even tuned it but it's kicking ass. id still like to get a c300 again one day because that gas mileage is killer.
The tune is legit. While it doesn't offer up any exotic crackles or burbles to the engine, it is safe. Totally smooths out the power band and really up's the torque. If you are debating on getting it, and you can wait... check out their website around any holiday. They usually run a decent discount. That's how I got mine. Peace
total hp? has the engine been damaged?
What paddle shifters do you got? I love the look need to upgrade mine as well
I found them on eBay. I cannot remember the exact seller, but a search should bring them up. The stock paddles are too small and poorly placed for anyone who prefers a 9:30 - 2:30 wheel position. If you find them, be careful when applying them to the stock paddles... once they stick, they stick for good. And the stocks feel like they could snap off if you apply too much force. Hope that helps!
Great video you could’ve showcase the car real power by punching it on highway a tad bit
Yeah. I should have waited until "rush hour" had ended. And the area where I was on the highway can be a speed trap. Still, I appreciate the comment. Peace!
Hey, I have a 2017 C300 with the AMG package and I have thought about doing the OE tune but I read mixed reviews on the MB forum. Some are happy and others not so much. I have a Dinan chip in mine and it sure makes it quicker but it does nothing about shifting, rpms or the limiter at 133 mph ( this car can easily go over 150 mph, I mean I get to 133 mph in 5th gear ). Are you happy with the OE tune so far? Have you had any issues with it or the dealership?
I would appreciate any comments and thanks for the video! Your car sounds nice :)
So, I will start by stating that the tune by OE does not adjust any of the 3 factors you just addressed - shifts, RPMs or top speed limit (AFAIK, at least). Being that it is a bench tune, it is a lot like other tunes of its sort - a "canned" tune. Not having had a Dinan, but having looked at it as a option, I cannot make a direct comparison. But I found the results of the OE tune to be evident and I was happy with the performance boost. So, yes... I think the tune is good and worth the money (try to catch them on one of their Holiday sales - I did). I had 2 recall and several services done at the dealership - never had any issue. The tune is loaded into the ECU and (once again AFAIK) undetectable. Unlike BMW, there aren't many choices for tunes for the W205 (non-C63). Not sure this helps with your question at all, but thanks for checking out the vid and the comments!
I also have a stock c300 2017 and I can get to 145, never tried to go faster but would have been able to. I’ve never had an issue with a limiter tho? So I’m confused on why you can’t go over 133
Great vid and nice car. Thinking of doing the same setup as yours.
Did you weld a hanger on the magnaflow muffler?
Thanks! Appreciate the comment. For the hanger I used a 2" pipe clamp and secured it to the chassis. It has been a while since I installed the mufflers... so I can't recall EXACTLY how I did it. But I will say this - they are million times lighter than the stock mufflers! Sound and all that aside... that reason alone is worth doing the install.
TwoCruks Media
Thanks!!! Just ordered a pair. I’ll have a muffler shop do the install since there’s welding involved.
Awesome! I'm sure you will be happy with them.
Does upgrading muffler to this void the MB USA warranty on vehicle?
@@jrry660 I would call your local MB dealership and find out.
Do you use the gfb dv with a main spring? Im using it with no spring, just afraid of turbo warranty. I got no other mod installed yet on 2017 c200 coupe 4m 😀
Yes, I am using the supplied spring from GFB. The stock spring is a little smaller in gauge. I am not qualified to state one way or the other on whether using the GFB spring will damage your turbo, but I can say that I have had installed since December 2017 and I have had no issues whatsoever. Hope that helps.
Yo bro I have a 2016 c300 and I wanted to ask do you know any tunes that can make the car pop and crackle I have a muffler delete on the car right now. Also great car and nice vid
Check out Projecta miami on insta
TBH, I never looked into a tune that could functioned that was cuz the 2015 Sport I had already came with that feature in Sport + mode. But someone mentioned Projecta. May be a good place to start your search. Peace!
TwoCruks Media thx
Where did you get a Magna Flow exhaust? I didn't see on their site that they even make an exhaust for Benz. Was this then custom?
HI, David. Yeah, I don't think Magna Flow actually makes an exhaust for the W205 platform. This was done by having the original mufflers cut off and the MF mufflers welded on. I'm not sure if Amazon still sells them, but the actual product part number is in the description. If you go this route, I would definitely NOT recommend removing the resonators - I did not. But I have seen videos of others who have, and the drone at highways speeds is unbearable. Peace.
Very nice upgrades! Can you tell me what kind of gas mileage you get now in the city and highway since the upgrades were installed? Thanks!
I have since sold that car. But I can tell you what I got when I had it: ~18 city, ~28 hwy. I typically averaged ~24 mpg consistently.
How badly did it hurt your mpg ?
Hey man, do you still have the car, how is the tune? Would you recommend tuning a c300 w205 ?
Hey, thanks for the comment. No, I sold the car quite a while back. But at the time of the sell, it ran great. I only parted with it cuz I needed an SUV... so I jumped into a Cayenne S.
Not sure if you can still answer this or not since it looks like it’s been awhile. I currently have my my mufflers deleted with the rear resonator as well. (W300 w205 coupe) I’m looking to go a little louder in sound and I’m considering the magnaflow mufflers with both resonators deleted. Any ideas of how this would sound? I have tried a full on muffler and resonator delete and it was way too loud. I’m just looking for something a little louder. Thanks
So, my main concern would be that the sound would be loud in the wrong way. Meaning, I think what will be the outcome will be a lot of drone - especially at hi way speeds - and the pitch on the exhaust note will be too high. Kinda like when you hear a Honda Civic with a loud exhaust... it just doesn't sound right.
Also, there are essentially 2 resonators (at least on mine there was) mid way down the exhaust system. If you want a "louder" sound, but don't want it to sound less dignified, I would suggest replacing the mufflers, for sure, and consider removing the resonators and fitting in something like a Cherry Bomb exhaust there instead. This way, you will increase your sound, but keep it subdued.
Just a suggestion. Peace!
loved your vid. did you send your ECU to OE Tuning or what? Could you please tell me what to do exactly?
Hey, thanks for the comment on the video. Yes, I sent the entire ECU to OE Tuning to be re-flashed. Contact them, let them know of any mods you have on your car, then you pull the ECU and package it up. Once they receive it you should have it back in about a week. Then you just plug it back it and you are good to go. Hope that helps! Don't forget to LIKE this vid!
thanks, if I installed a downpipe and tell them about it will they remove the check engine light? sure I will LIKE this awesome vid!
I'm not really sure about the CEL. But it is definitely worth telling them about so that they can maybe take that off your dash. But you want to tell that about the DP for sure so that they can add that component to the tune that they do.
This is hot 🥵
You've had the tune for two years now, run into any issues from it?
Zero issues. If you can catch it on one of their sales, it is definitely worth it. I also tried another brand's "piggy back" plug-in tune, and that one was not so good. Returned it and bought the OE tune.
will this tune work on the 2020 c300? It has an extra 14 horsepower I believe stock so it’s makes 255 right now I just want to make sure before purchasing
TBH, I am not sure. Seems like you could take advantage of those extra 15 horses and get an update tune. I would check out the OE Tuning website. I bet they have your model year on their options.
I you have a factory warranty would the upgrades cover it if I take it for a service or would my warranty expire?
As far as I know, the only "upgrades" that would be covered under warranty from any deanship would be those that they sanction as authentic OEM spec parts. Think Subaru... Sti parts. In this case, they would only be AMG aftermarket parts. And in both cases, they would have to be installed by the dealership.
Can I ask for a favor? Does ur stock bov have a spring inside? Does it have tension? Don't know if mines fell out or not
Sorry It took a while to reply - I was out of town. Yes, the stock diverter valve has it's own spring, which you don't end up using... at least, not if you bought the GFB DV+ kit, since it comes with its own spring. Once that is installed, it has a good amount of tension. I cannot speak to the GFB diverter valve that is the Chinese knock-off. It may to may not have a spring included. The one in the description above is legit. Hope that helps!
TwoCruks Media thank u bro, appreciate it!
I like it but why does it sound like a Honda 😔 and that's impressive numbers bro that tune
how much did this entire set up cost? i have a 2016 c300 amg package and definitely want mine to be exactly like yours!
Thanks for the comment. So, it's been a minute since I did the upgrades, but what I do remember is that I got the Magnaflow exhausts on Amazon for something like, $83 each. The tune I got from OE Tuning in California... the key is, buy it around a major holiday, cuz they have some nice discounts. Just keep in mind that you WILL have to mail them your ECU. So the car will be inoperable during that time. The carbon fiber spoiler I got on eBay from a solid seller, but I do not remember the store. The DV from Go fast Bits was around $100, I think... look on Amazon for that too. The filter was just a K&N drop in - think it was around $50. Spacers for front and back 10mm & 15mm respectively, were maybe $60 - $100 on eBay. Just be sure they are solid, man. You do NOT want to go cheap on spacers if you go that route. Also, be sure they are hub-centric. Oh, and I think that by the time I made it vid I had actually totally removed the secondary resonator - which if you have the tools, is free. Hope that helps answer your question. Peace!
Hey, great video there! Question: do you think the K&N air filter is worth it for the C300? Did you notice a difference? Also, did it cause any engine lights or faults to go on?
For the cost, I would say the K&N filter is not worth it. At least, not for HP gains. If you plan to hold on to your car for a good while, and regularly clean the K&N, then you might realize a savings over buying disposable filters. But, if there was a gain in HP... I didn't notice. No, it does not trigger any CEL or other faults. JUST DO NOT over oil the K&N after cleaning. This will soil your MAF. Good luck!
@@tachikaze7 thanks for you insightful reply, I'm actually considering for one reason at this point then: more turbo noise😅. Was there a noticeable sound difference?
@@samyhamdallah2000 That isn't a place I can help you out... as I did the Magnaflow exhaust and K&N mods at the same time. But, with the Magnaflow, YES! You will hear a difference. Just don't over oil the K&N and you will be good to go! Peace.
You only swapped both mufflers with the ones listed below and nothing else, correct?
As far as the exhaust goes, yes that is correct. Only the two Magnaflow mufflers.
TwoCruks Media did you use those exact mufflers that you found because it says they are not compatible and I would love for them to fit
Did the blowoff valve mess with the boost? Or did it throw any check engine lights?
I never noticed any issues with the BOV on either the boost or the CEL. Keep in mind that this is NOT one of those BOV's that make the psst! noise. In fact, Go Fast Bits doesn't even call it a BOV. They classify it as a Bypass Valve. Essentially, it aids in boost recovery after gear changes. Hope that helps. Peace!
TwoCruks Media thanks!
Hi good click
have you had any problem with the engine, the pistons oh something inside the engine
Actually, no problems at all. The transmission was always a little slower to shift than I would have liked. But I just override that with the paddle shifters. But no issues with the engine. Hope that helps. Peace.
Hello I need to add the obd2 flashloader if yes how many hdp I ll get
In my car

Bob valve and that’s it
Hi. Thanks for checking out my video. I really do not have a good answer for you on how much horse power that would give you. Sorry. I wish I could help, but I cannot. Peace
How much horse power did it make without the ecu tune?
Hey, thanks for checking out the video. I used to have the paperwork on the stats for the Dyno chart, but I passed that on to the new owner when I sold the W205 about 4 years ago. Sorry... I don't remember that info off-hand. Not sure if this helps, but the power increase was noticeable, but nothing MASSIVE. What it did do that was massive was smooth out the power delivery. If you check the website for this tuner around major holidays, they usually run a 40% deal. That's what I did. Peace
With the OE ECU flash, is the power noticeable? How is the torque at higher speeds and gears? Is it worth the steep price?
Is the power improvement very noticeable?**
So, first bit of advise I would give regarding the OE tune is watch out for their sale. They seem to do one around the bigger holidays. I got a really good deal on their Labor Day Sale. Think it was 40% off... which is real nice. That said, I don't get anything from these people... I just like the tune and the customer service I received. To answer your question, (and this is obviously just based on "feel") I noticed a substantial increase in the mid-range (3k rpm). Top-end seems to have gained slightly - think, hi way speed crushing at 70mph and then you you go WOT - it will push you into the seat, but only slightly more than stock. However, this is not where most 4 cylinders shine (speaking of top-end). Low-end also improves, but this car already was a little beast in this area due to the torque. Mostly, what gets the best, and most notable, improvement is the responsiveness. So is it "worth it"? Well, that is obviously subjective. But you must have felt buying a C300 was worth it... when many other people would argue that buying a Honda and then spending all that extra cash would be worth it instead. IMHO - Get the tune on Sale and you won't be disappointed. Hope that helps!
TwoCruks Media Thanks man, appreciate it! That is a really good sale too.
TwoCruks Media Ooo, one more thing. Do the Magnaflows make it sound much louder and deeper than the stock note or is less of a substantial difference? Do you still get the turbo sound?
Not sure what you mean exactly by "turbo sound"... typically, engine with a turbo will reduce the deeper notes in the exhaust (that is why many where initially put off by the newer AMG C63 engine). But, assuming you are asking if the exhaust note is different - Yes, it will be a bit deeper and just a little louder. I noticed no drone at hi way speeds (why I included that boring section of normal hi way driving for audio). The stock mufflers are also huge and heavy. I have a link in the description that will take you to the exact size mufflers you will need for the W205. NOTE: they will need to be welded on. Just so you know that.
Is this vehicle still for sale? I believe i saw on another site that it was for sale?
It was for sale. But it's gone now. Sold it last week. Needed something that could tow... but could also be a little sporty. So, got a Cayenne.
TwoCruks Media I just bought it from the guy that you traded with! Amazing car
@@masonbrownlow3922 Legit? Who was the seller?
TwoCruks Media laszlo at Euro2!
@@masonbrownlow3922 LOL! Man, that is fuckin AWESOME! Dude was super cool, too. I hated to see it go... but I needed something that was sporty to drive, and could tow. Luckily he had a Porsche Cayenne S. Still, I miss the agility and lightness of the W205. Enjoy.
i have w205 C400 do you think the muffler will fit?
Not sure. The piping is different on the c400, I believe. However if the diameter is still 2.5", then technically it will work. That is what you will have to find out - the diameter.
Needa see dyno. Some guy on mbworld got the OEtuning ecu flash...dyno'd it and results were really bad. Barely any gains.
Don't have a hard date set yet, but a DYNO run is definitely planned for the future. You have a link to the forum thread you mentioned? Would like to read more about it. Thanks!
How has the tune held up after this long
Hey, thanks for checking out the vid. So, I sold the C300 2 years ago, but in all the time I had it and drive it as my daily, I never had any issues with it at all. To be fair, the tune is not overly aggressive. It is, however very solid and will deliver a noticeable increase in HP. Hope that helps. Peace
RE: Go Fast Bits Diverter Valve--- I believe there are two in W205. Did you replace both of them?
As far as I know there is only the one. It is located in the "blow-off valve" mechanism. Do you have a video or link that speaks about the other location? Thanks.
Cant find the article but will take your word for it. That said, I got your recommended mufflers on my car last weekend and what a difference!!! really deep sound without the drone. K&N filter is also installed. Next is the diverter valve and then the tuneup. Found someone local in NY who can custom map the ECU to give me those extra burps upon ignition (CLA45 AMG start-up). By the way, that sound I mentioned in my last comment was actually an issue and was fixed by my dealer-- Wrist pin issue. Thanks the guidance TwoCruks!
Does your car shift slower in sport +? Mine shifts harder but slower in sport+.
There is at least a small difference between the W205 2015 and all later models... so if you do not have the 2015, then I cannot say for sure. The difference being that in Sport + the timing is advanced between shifts when under hard acceleration, which is what produces that "burp" or "fart" sound. That said, Sport + generally is designed to hold the gear longer - when under aggressive acceleration - so that it may take advantage of higher revs. This would explain your feeling of "harder, but slower shifts" between gears. Hope that helps. Peace.
TwoCruks Media I’ve got the same car as you,
2015 W205 C300.
@@tischlerbmw21 Cool. Then I would say you W205 is behaving as it should. Under hard acceleration, when in Sport+, the shifts will hold longer to maximize the rev range.
@Hydra Law That is correct. From what I have researched, after the 2015 model C300 Sport Package, MB removed the Advanced Timing Feature when in Sport+ mode and only made it available in the C43 AMG. Not sure why they did that... other than wanting to keep the C43 more unique, and therefore sell more of those.
was the flash tune worth it and what did it enable. for example (popping, power, torque, throttle, speed limiter removal?)
Hey, thanks for checking out the vid. I'll try to answer your question(s). If I were to do it all over again... I'd definitely buy the tune. It was solid and never presented any concerns for the welfare of the car. And at the going rate of about $10 per HP gain, it is accurately priced. Most noticeable was the torque increase. That was immediately felt. It does not, however introduce anything by way of crackles to pops between shifts. Or speed limiter removal. It smooths the power curve on the map and increases HP and torque like it claims.
hey brother do you have any issues with the tune?
Disclosure: I no longer own the W205, but for the 1.5 years that I had the tune - Zero issues. Bonus tip: try looking on their website on major holidays... they tend to run a sale. That is how I got myself a sweet deal. Good luck. Peace.
@@tachikaze7 how you was maintaining the car after the tune? what i need to do so my engine dont blown? i was a pops tune
@@keeury It's not an extreme tune like that. HP increase is there, but nothing insane. What it does mostly is adjust the ECU map to smooth out the power delivery and make it more noticeable. Best advice I can give... with or without the tune, change your oil when you should. Rotate those tired too, cuz uneven wear will put unwanted heat and stress on that transfer case. Do that, and you're golden.
@@tachikaze7 thank you for you advice! so you that i do a Pops tune i will blow my engine?
@@keeury If by "Pops" tune you mean making it crackle and pop between shifts? The AMG Sport edition (which I believe was only released for 2015, before MB went to the AMG C43 in 2016) had an advanced timing feature built in from the factory. This gave it a sort of popping sound between shifts. I cannot say that it would be ok if you have yours tuned to do this. The tune that this video is showcasing does not make those pops - in case that is what you are thinking. That was already a part of the car. Also, while I don't mind offering some feedback on how my experience was with this tune, each person has to decide what is best for them, and what you are comfortable with. For more detailed question on this tune, and weather it is safe for you and your car, I would recommend you contact the tuning company. They can offer your better advice. Peace
What’s the update on the vehicle. Is it still reliable?
Hey, Andre. I am not the current owner of this vehicles at the time. However, when I sold it there were over 50k miles on it. It had no signs of impending issues at that time. I only traded it in to get a tow vehicle... otherwise, I would still have it.
Is having an exhaust system like armytrix for example without a tune will it ruin the fuel economy or power ?
And your car since it’s tune how much is a difference in fuel economy ?
Sorry for bad English
Furl economy improved, actually, but only by a slight amount. I am sure this was due to the tune leveling out the MAP for better power delivery. So not worries on loss of fuel economy. However, with he tune, you will most likely want to drive more aggressively... which WILL effect your fuel economy. LOL. No exhaust system that I am aware of - unless it is a full turbo-back system, perhaps - should mess with you fuel economy. Hope that helps. peace
@@tachikaze7 thanks for the reply man really appreciated it
Would you recommend it as a first car for newbie ? XD
@@oudomsambatchorn851 That depends. There are not as many mod options for the W205, unless it is the AMG version. But, if you are cool with minor upgrades and enjoying the car as is, then Yes... cuz it is solid. Still miss that car... LOL
@@tachikaze7 ahhhh u already move on to something ?
@@tachikaze7 the things is I can grab that for around 50k used for a 2015 model in my country while the Mazda 6 2020 or the Camry could cost like 60K plus I just like the Mercedes night light lol 😆
How is the tune holding up after 2 years??
Hey, thanks for watching and the question. I traded the C300 about a year ago. But up to the point that I sold it, the tune was running flawlessly. IN comparison to the "piggy back" tune from a different company, which was not very good, it was amazing! Peace.
So I have a 2016 w205 or c300 and I’m thinking about getting the air intake, blow off valve and the mufflers but have two questions
1. Will these mufflers sound good with me not getting a tune
2.how much good does this air intake do me when it’s that cheap
3.on the link to the mufflers I believe the price is around 88 dollars does this include both ?
Thanks for checking out the vid. I will try to answer your questions as best I can. 1) The tune I had on my car did not affect the overall sound of the exhaust note. Some tunes will do that - like create crackling and popping sounds. This is not that kind of tune. That said, the mufflers will sound the same with or without this particular tune. You will gain a slight increase in sound with these mufflers over the stock ones. But it is by no means an Armytrix or something like that - which also cost WAY more, and for a good reason. 2) The K&N drop-in air filter probably, at most, gives 1 or 2 more horses. Really, you will not feel the difference. If the $50 or so is not there for you, then I would pass on this mod. The main benefit with the filter is it breathes a little better and can be cleaned and re-used. 3) If the mufflers are listed at $88 now, then that is still good price - IMO. That is for ONE, SINGLE mufflers. Also, be aware that you will need to have them welded on. Hope that helps.
@@tachikaze7Media thanks for your explains. Just wondering how does it sound like in comfortable mode? a huge difference?
@@user-qv1ez5rq8z In Comfort or Eco mode it is not really that noticeable. My guess would be due to the earliest shift changes in those modes. Sport and Sport+ hold the revs longer, making the sound more prominent.
TwoCruks Media thank you. It's really helpful.
How much does this tune change the 0-60?
That is something that I would need to find out. I have been meaning to hit the track and do some runs, but just haven't had the time. But when I do, I will post a comment here or upload a new video. Thanks!
Does the tune void your warranty?
This question is a loaded one. Having had a Subaru WRX before, this is a topic that many new owners ask. Basically, the way this works is that ANY modification can technically void a vehicle's warranty "if the manufacturer can prove" that the mod was the cause of a malfunction. That is the key. Having a modified part of your car does not somehow magically "Void Warranty". But, if you mod your car and a failure happens to the car and the manufacturer can prove that it is related to the mod, well... then, yeah, you are SOL. But they still have to PROVE it. Hope that helps.
TwoCruks Media yea it does thank you 🙏
I was more interested in what the car looked like
Understood. Unfortunately, I have sold it. Sorry.
What was your new 0-60??
I never got around to taking it to the track or getting a Dyno run. So, I cannot accurately say. However, it was definitely more responsive to acceleration.
Is that in Austin???😅
Close... But not Austin. LOL!
Daaamn, lmk. I would love to take my c300 for a Mercedes meet😅
Is this car 4 o 6 cylinders?
2.0L 4 cylinder
would these work for the 2018 c300?
Is the 2018 the W205 platform? Search that out and then you will have a better idea. If it is, and yours has the dual exhaust system, then I think it would work. Peace.
@@tachikaze7 yeah it’s w205 thanks!
Am I the only one that noticed this person is driving this car with the coolant temperature in the red??
The gauge cluster on the this Mercedes has all the level illuminated when the headlights are on. The result, on camera... not in person, is what seems like all the ticks lit up. You can see this much clearer on the Fuel Level. It looks like all the ticks are lit... like a full tank. But in reality it is only 4 ticks, or less than 1/2 a tank. Good observation, though.
TwoCruks Media I see it now it’s one notch over 80c.
what have you done on the engine cover is that wrapping?
The engine cover has been painted red with high heat resistant spray paint. The one I used has ceramic so it won't peel and has a satin finish. Here is a link: amzn.to/2rFFE3D
Running 3000-3500 rpm at 50 mph, not under load? Caffeine pill Ecu.
clearly hasn't shifted up yet, in manual mode, to keep in power band.. critical thinking
How did the car sound without the mufflers?
It actually did not sound good. It needs something to add a deeper note to the sound.
my 2016 C300 is straight piped. You think I should get the 2 magna flow mufflers?
@@tachikaze7
@@Snorflex711 I don't know. DO you think that it is too loud for you right now? If so, then the Magna Flow mufflers will make it a little quieter, but not much. It's the resonators - which it sounds like you removed - that make it the quietest. Do you have a video to upload so I can hear the sound?
no its not that loud but I really like the deep note of yours. ill take a video of my car and upload it if I can to show you. but I think I might get the mufflers if its gonna make it sound cleaner @@tachikaze7
TwoCruks Media did you delete any resonators?
Whats 0-60 like?
In Sport + it was already very fast under a WOT run. With the tune, it feels more responsive.
Was your car used in the Halsey - New Americana (Y3MR$ Remix) Gangster City video? ruclips.net/video/Sw4ei0-5kIc/видео.html
LOL. If it was, it was after I sold it. I'll have to check that music vid out.
How much you spend on modification bro?
It's hard to tell... I don't have all the records for everything I bought. But, if I had to guess - I'd say, about $2500
TwoCruks Media look at the hp and sounds! Definitely worth! Thanks for sharing
Hate magnaflows
0-60mph?
Hey, thanks for watching. So, I never got around to clocking an official 0-60 with the tune. There is a track outside my city that has a "test and tune" night, but I never made it out there to do a run. Of course, I no longer have this car, so I will never be able to update that figure for you. MB states the c 300 has 274 HP. All I can say is, I had a WRX with a pro tune and a ton of other mods placing it as stage 2, and it NEVER accelerated like the C 300. I know this doesn't;t help you question. But the OE Tuning upgrade is def worth it. Peace
60hp+?? Gotta see the dyno on that. I got the same on an ecu upgrade and turbo upgrade
What size turbo did you upgrade to? ECU tune? Or ECU piggy-back component? Just curious... I like to see what other owners are doing with their W205. I have a Dyno graph with figures. I will try to post in a later video.
TwoCruks: Travel & Taste turbokits.com did my upgrade, a I'll working on one issue from raising the boost higher, Amr did my ecu
Tryin to show the dyno on here but can't. Gain 65hp at 3 to 4,000pm but as Temps rise I lose a lil. Next step is water/meth
TwoCruks: Travel & Taste upgrade the wheels inside the turbo
Is the higher PSI on the boost creating issues with the ECU not wanting to recognize it? Diverting it over to the wastegate? Just checked out the AMR website and looked at the tune you most likely got... seems like a very similar tune to the one I have from OE Tuning.
