Okay, guys, so, I had the 2 Mufflers deleted a couple of days ago, and I must say that I'm looking for short trips just to hear the exhaust!
With both Mufflers deleted and replaced with 3 inch 409 Stainless Steel Piping and both Resonators deleted with the same piping, it sounds pretty good, yes a little loud, but not at idle or 1500 RPM or below. Use Comfort to start in 2nd gear for less noise.
For those of you who like it a bit quieter and probably what I would have done if I did it over, is to just delete the two mufflers but leave the two stock resonators in place.
If you like it loud like the new 707 HP Dodge Challenger Hellcat, then do what I did.
3:09-3:11 is the sweet sounding exhaust.

Okay, I too have finally had the resonators deleted on my ML63, which I'm pretty happy with after a few days. I went with 3" Stainless Steel Straight pipes.
My 2 cents:
Although I was disappointed when I started it up leaving the Exhaust Shop, I must say that it is growing on me.
From idle, you don't really hear much of a difference, but if you step on it on an on-ramp onto a highway/freeway, you do hear a much butter sound than stock. Just make sure that you're in the Sport mode and not Comfort.
I read here that it will sound louder after 2-3 months but I am contemplating deleting one of the rear mufflers to get it louder. Has anyone done that or should I not bother with it? I don't want it sounding like a done up Honda Civic, but I wouldn't mind a more throaty sound even at idle. The sound of the Turbo ML63 in the video is what I'm after.
I'll post pics later of my setup.
Thanks.

Be patient, the sound will come. The harder & longer you drive it, the faster the transformation will occure

It has nothing to do with how long you had the delete. Its how many miles have been driven since the delete was done. I never said I just got the delete done and I didnt notice a difference. I had it done around 10K miles ago and it did NOT make a noticable difference. Again I will say IMO not worth the trouble. Did hardly anything.

I had my res removed several months ago and I must say the truck tone has changed over time. Much better now.
I'm guessing there is some glass or fiber in the muffs getting burned up?????

If you push it the tone will transform quite drastically. Up to 15-20% louder from just AFTER doing the resonator delete (the sound is even change is even more so when comparing to before).

Then you just not push your car at all, if you baby your car then you shouldn't be driving an AMG.

I don't push my car at all? Like you know how I drive? You are amazing that you have no clue how I am but know how I drive. Yes the car is pushed. I shouldn't be driving an amg? Who the hell are you to tell me anything? Look inside the resonators. They are not built to muffle sound. 15-20% louder just after they are removed? You must be high kid. Almost ZERO change right after they were removed. Couldn't even notice a difference. Don't tell me how my car sounded before and after the delete. You have no clue. 20% louder...haha yeah and my 164 stops better than the 166. Lol. Put down the pipe kiddo.
Bro ur butthurt it's okay
