    Here is a shot of the exhaust when we took it off the other night to do rear flex disk. I tell ya, replacing the flex disc transformed the way the car drives, it was pretty cracked up. Car feels tighter and more stable at speeds (I think the cracked disc was causing some real subtle vibrations)

    Borla muffler with similar to stock tips welded on to keep stock look

        thanks yea i must admit, its a nice motor, and its great to be able to hear it. always wanted a V8 and mercedes is the best way to get it. luxury and power. this thing will still pull away from so many cars and it is 12 years old

            thanks man, the 68 was getting a lotta love with the bags so it was time for the C43 to get some lovin.

            now im thinking about spacers and some adjustable camber arms should stop spending money though

                yea just 1 clean cut through the pipe, so easy to switch it back out later.

                thats why i didn't cut the stock tips off the muffler, thats all still in 1 piece.

                        • Found a set of Lorinser LM-1's and snagged em. I used to have them on my old C Class and always wanted em again, so the C43 might be wearing em

                          They need to be refinished, mainly the faces due to scratching, but I might just get them completely done, they have a diamond machine face which only a few places can do from what I've found out.

                          Specs are;

                          19 x 9 up front
                          19 x 10 out back

                          I'll have to see how they fit, but I'm sure David and Dom from here can help me on that

                          Here is my old C with 18" non staggered and you can see the 19" rear wheel from the set I just picked up and how scratched it is haha

                          • D&W, if you were out here on the East Coast... my garage would be the new home to your C43.

                                True that, but I also much prefer the $17k cash I sold it for in 2009 Australia is stupid expensive

                                would be fun to roll around in it over here though for sure
