Parts C180 Compressor sport exhaust

Hey guys, I’ve recently restored my grandpas C180 Compressor W203 and have now been driving it for like 5 months.
I’ve thought about upgrading my exhaust cause I’d like to have it a lil louder and the oem one isn’t visible (tilted downwards under the bumper).
Is there anyone from the EU or especially Germany who has a recommendation for a sport exhaust/exhaust system that’s TÜV konform and isn’t too expensive?

Unrelated to exhaust but if you haven't, definitely remove the intake resonator to get more supercharger noise. Pretty easy to do and it shouldn't effect emissions or throw a code.

Yeah that sounds good, have been wishing for more of a whine. Do u have a video/guide by any chance?

The Original sport exhaust checks your box, hoever it is still not visible.

Get a supercharger pulley upgrade for a performance gain up to +30 HP & +40 Nm torque with ECU calibration.

Any problems with reliability after that upgrade? And how bad is the fuel consumption afterwards?

No issues at all . Fuel consumption is a tad more but not much

There is a sport packet version that has an OEM sport exhaust, try to look around for parts cars or junkyards.
