Might be crazy enough to try muffler delete

Has anyone tried muffler delete? I searched and found few threads about it, but no one really seems to have it done. Also searched some E55s with muffler delete w/ xpipe 2nd cat deletes, sounds not bad.

Only reason I want to do it is for sound and also because I don't want to touch the main cats. If I really do this mod, would I need just 2 cuts and weld on a Y pipe?

I'll be sure to post videos if I get this done

My friend did it, very LOUD. But not in a goodway, but that's just my opinion. He didn't like it either and reverted it back literally right before he even left the shop. You could try it, will definitely get you some unwanted attention though if cops are as bad as they are in va. Got two exhaust violation tickets and I have an xpipe/straight pipe secondary/res delete. Its not even that loud...lol if anything its same as stock but more refined.

If you're referring to the rear mufflers, it was my understanding that actually acted like amplifiers. Big open cambers to compensate for the sound deadening of the 4 cats...

Well, what is certain is that your car is going to be SUPER loud! You might like it for the first couple of hours and then the novelty will wear off almost immediately after that.

From the vid, it sounds like primary cats deleted.

I thought straight pipe is equivalent of a muffler delete? It's essentially one uninterrupted pipe from the engine. That's at least the bike world definition. The car in the video doesn't sound loud enough to be a straight pipe.

Well, I listened to most of you and decided not to touch the mufflers

I just switched my Xpipe to Straight pipe. Now the car runs on Straight/Straight on the res/2ndCat.

Car sounds so untamed now, but at least i got those insane AMG barks again Hopefully it'll sound a bit more tamed once the ECU adapts


Here's a sound test I just did a moment ago



The car is noticeably louder than the xpipe setup, also acceleration isn't as smooth as the Xpipe of course. But Speed-wise I don't feel any slower, probably lost a few torque ~~

I know someone who chopped the mufflers on a 2012 C63 it sounds awesome from outside of the car I don't know what it sounds like inside.

I am happier with the raspy/deep note than the exotic high pitch though because it defines AMG more
