Muffler and B-Pipe: Stock CFM? Mercedes? 5th Gen?
Hello All,
I am in the market of a new muffler.
I had some noise near the muffler section whenever I hit a hard bump and I looked underneath and found that the B-pipe resonater material is peeling off and the muffler is 60% rusted.
So, I guess it's either stay with a stock 4th gen muffler/B-pipe, or take the adventurous route to those C-class AMG mufflers (I really like the way they look) or 5th gen muffler.
Anybody has opinion on this? What's the stock 4th gen muffler CFM rating? I was told that droning is caused by using a muffler that does not have enough CFM compared to its stock.
I am looking for a quiet exhaust, although I don't mind the tone when the car is on power, like those with Lexus SC430/Bimmers.

Thanks maxger. Seems to me that's the combo I want to have. It's just that the tip of the muffler from 5th gen is a rectangular...whereas the cutout on the 4th gen stock bumper is round. Thus the Mercedes muffler.
