Hey Guys,

Has anyone removed the resonator only on their C450? If so, any issues and do you notice a difference in the sound?
I like the sound now but I also own a C350, tuned with Meisterschaft exhaust its quite a bit louder and has a deeper sound....

Thanks,

Wouldn't the drone be unbearable? I think I recall someone on here posting a video after doing this before, can't remember who though.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a lot of drone if you do a muffler and resonator delete. I just want to do a resonator delete only and keep the stock mufflers for now.

You're 100% right, I knew I was getting mixed up...my mistake

The bretpfair and WaylonZeng videos here are the ones I had seen (muffler delete): https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...muffler+delete

Can anyone post pictures of the stock exhaust from underneath the car?

Sometime a simple x-pipe can be a good solution, however, I do not know what it is currently looking like.

the question is, replacing the muffler (we have 2 right), with SS piping - is there any drone? SOmeone asked on the youtube vid of this 1, but no response.

Comments from guys who replaced the mufflers with straight pipe is they get a fair bit of drone.

X pipe is only applicable with true dual exhaust. The C300/400/450 do not have full dual system :-( - after the dual downpipes/cats it connects into a single resonator then runs as a single pipe, then splits again to the dual mufflers near the back. You would have to replace the mid section with 2 pipes as in the AWE system.

Replacing stock mufflers with straight through perforated mufflers
And keeping the stock resonators does crate drone at 2k....
Judicious dynamat in the spare tyre well, boot and rear qtr inner panels
Dulls it perfectly...
A little burble a little bark and the shift fart in s+ is a lot more pronounced...

It sounds is absolutely insane with resonator and muffler delete. Pops and crackles or so loud you can modulate it by just a little touch of gas pedal. There is a drone , you hust have to live with it but it's not 2 bad. https://www.instagram.com/p/BN-EPanhvIn/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BPf1wfmhGED/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BPeCk7pBpRj/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BPeDeZGBbjF/

Sounds okay, but I think you're having trouble using the internet. Your links aren't posting.

Main issue is the vibration for me. From some of the older posts, I recall a few people removing the resonators on the C300 and C400s, and it apparently didn't make a difference. Same amount of vibration occurs with the seats down. I dynamatted the pseudo-spare-tire well which tamed the drone a bit, but the vibration is about the same.

It's not really the vibration and drone that's causing a problem, but rather the poor fitment of the stock C class trim pieces which can cause rattle over time
