Yeah, it’s a lot raspier tone and the pops/bangs are much more distinct.

It was just under $1000 for everything. I think the exhaust was around 700 and 300 for shipping.

Yep for sure not a problem. I hope these help. The first video is completely stock. Verse downpipe and aftermarket exhaust. second video was a poorly made install video, but maybe it’ll offer a few pointers to people.

The downpipe did throw a code initially. It took a few tries to get it right. I got CEL with no spacer so I put on one similar to the fabspeed minicat. That threw a new CEL so I swapped for a $10 spacer from Amazon. That worked and no more codes. I didn’t think the downpipe made much of a...

I swapped the stock exhaust today and it turned out pretty nice. I’m too cheap to spend thousands on stuff I can get for hundreds. So I ordered an exhaust from the AliExpress app. It was $650ish and just under $1000 shipped. It took a little over two weeks to arrive from China to California It’s...

On another note, can anyone advise on sending logs to burger? I’m plugged into the OBD and connected to Bluetooth. I’ve stored three logs so far and I can’t seem to email them to myself. I’ve tried multiple times to two different emails and they never come through to my inbox or spam. I’m using...

Just want to give another perspective on the install. I’m not very mechanically inclined; other than changing the oil or brake pads and basic bolt on mods. That being said. I did the install in my garage on ramps. It took about 2 hours and a lot of that time was spent tracking down the right...

What code were you getting with the downpipe? I went with a 200cell down pipe with fabspeed “minicat” and I’m getting a cel from time to time.

If it does come back on, and you have to take it in, I would suggest printing up the Mercedes TSB on the issue and make sure the advisor gets it to the service tech. Mine sat for almost two weeks before they came up with a diagnosis. My part was ordered and received within two weeks. I had the...

Sorry about that, yeah it’s the green with blue stripe. My eyes are horrible. I couldn’t see the blue until I zoomed in on the pic.

It’s a little louder, but not what I was hoping for. It ran fine for the first 50 miles or so, but I got a CEL yesterday for O2 sensor bank 1. I cleared it and installed a “minicat” from fabspeed. After a short test drive the permanent code deleted so hopefully it’s good. I might swap back to...

Before and after Yes it is. I couldn’t get the video to load on the forum.

Got the down pipe installed today. That was a pain in the ass, but after 4 hours I finally got it. I am far from a mechanic so most of the time was spent searching for the right tools and a ton of time was spent trying to get enough room to maneuver the stock down pipe out of the engine bay...

I have a similar timeline. It’s been down for about 30 days in total after 3trips to service. The first trips to the dealer they claimed they couldn’t reproduce the CEL code. They did say the supply chain has slowed down lately in parts. Mine took a week longer than anticipated by Lotus. Did...
