Exhaust systems (W201)

Does anyone with a 190e have a full high flow exhaust system in their car? I was looking at doing this but am sceptical at the power gains i'll get. I mean this car only makes about 89kw and im worried a new exhaust would just sound nice but not offer any worthwile torque/power gains.

It probably not worth it at all, but theres no harm asking.

The OE exhaust system is quite efficient. Some aftermarket "sport" system may make more noise, but power gains will be marginal, if at all.

I was once inside a 190 that had some kind of aftermarket system, and the droning resonance was absolutely horrible. It just ruined the car!

i see. thats reassuring, i didnt want to spend money needlessly.

if i find a bargain i might just get a new sports muffler, just for the note. Otherwise its probably not worth it
