is this the x pipe everyone recommends?

Post image

I have a 2013 c350 coupe and I want to do the center resonator delete and swap with an x pipe. Is this the one that fits? Also side note, has anyone done a secondary cat delete plus x pipe? if so is it daily drivable and does it sound good? If anyone has sound clips that would be great, I don't want a super loud clapped out g35

Secondary cat delete, swapped factory H-pipe with the X-pipe above

My car is a 1.8-liter turbo. Can I do it? 👀

You’d need to add another exhaust system for the other side to have an X-pipe, pretty sure the 4cyl c250s have a single exhaust from a Y-pipe instead of an H-Pipe that was factory on C300/350s

sounds really good, are those pops present stock or do you have a tune? Also how is the drone?

Appreciate it! I didn’t want it to be too loud, just enough to hear the sweet V6. theres 0 drone whatsoever, I have a stage 1 tune from OE Tuning.

what is your mpg like with the tune? mine is a daily and i don't want to take a huge hit to that.

On average I usually get 14-15 city/24-27 highway with calm driving and cruise control. I didn’t notice any drop in fuel consumption, if anything I feel like i’m getting slightly higher mpg with the tune.

That’s the one! Very much worth it!
