c32 amg resonator delete *pics/sound clips*

Just had my resonator deleted off my C32... and all I can say is WOW! For the $70 bucks it cost me to have it cut off and a straight pipe welded in.. the sound boost is definitely noticeable.

the car isn't "louder" it definitely rumbles and has a deeper growl.

Took the shop maybe 20 minutes to cut and weld this together.

Will post pictures of the before/after as well as sound clips of before/after. Once I get them uploaded

Seriously, if you haven't chopped your resonator.. go now!!

Res delete does wonders on the C32 for sound...

Although, sometimes I wonder about swapping the muffler with a C63 one

I stole the idea from my buddy ScottW911 a while ago! https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...resonator.html

Just ordered the 'y' connection piece from Supersprint! I went for that solution so I can re install if necessary. Hope it's as good as you all say it is :-)

I have headers and deleted secondaries now, trying to decide if resonator delete or replace it with a Magnaflow.

It sounds a little deeper and a little more aggressive with the headers, but I want more.

Does it get raspy with shorty headers, no secondary cats and no resonator? Does it drone?
