E55 exhaust questions
I just bought my first e 55 amg.. I absolutely love it!! The first thing I want to do is open up the exhaust some.. Its to quite. I have heard from other post that resonator has to go and install an x pipe. Do the cats need to go as well.I live in s.c. where there is no inspection so no worries about passing that. I want to get the deeper v8 sound not the ratty high pitched or poping sound that comes with straight pipes. Also do I use the stock amg muffler or upgrade to a dynomax or something similar.. ??? Any suggestions??

The stock muffler is fine removing the resonator and adding an x-pipe will add some nice sound, removing the secondary cats will make it even better (louder). If you search youtube you can find some clips of what it will sound like.

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of talk and discussion on exhaust mods and intake mods in this forum. Do your search and read up on it.

Make sure the x-pipe you get is high quality piece and has a clean bore all the way through. Some poorly made ones actually restrict flow by pressing pipes in and then leaving the inner pipe's "collar" curled inside the outer pipe- reducing the diameter and creating turbulence from the lip inside. cheap cheap cheap.
Secondary cat delete will give you some added hp with added sound quality. the AMG resonator and muffler are straight through designs and do not restrict airflow at all.
