Default aftermarket exhaust

Hi,
I have a C240 and want to do some things to it. I want to get an dual exhaust system for it and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for which to look for. I'm looking for something that would make it sound quicker not louder along with any air intake systems. I appreciate all suggestions.
Thanks

I have been looking to do the same for my 05 C230 K. Unless you want a local shop to custom build something for you forget about it. There are very few products out there and the few that are will cost you a ton. For example, I found two supercharger upgrades, one was $9000.00 the other was $20,000.00. You can have your computer chip flashed and get a lot of bang for your buck but you are just asking for problems. The exhaust systems are off the charts too considering the hp gains are minimal. Just do what I am and save up for a used 05 E55 AMG. You'll get a whole lot more bang for your buck than all that aftermarket crap. If your car is running well, leave it alone, I warn you, you will have problems if you try to do too much.

The 20 K upgrade was through Renntech. I believe it was an entirely new and bigger supercharger set up but stopped checking in to it after seeing the price and the hp estimates of about 30 hp gain at the wheel. The only other one I found was the 9k option and same story. I don't even remember the company. Both companies should be ashamed really.
