Removing exhaust resonator non C7 C230

I was wondering if anyone had this done to their non-C7. I heard a C7 yesterday, and the sound is much nicer. I therefore would like to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should have this done. I would like to keep the quality of the exhaust the same. Is this something that a Benz dealer would do? Is it worth the cost?

Anytime you remove tuning volume from the exhuast you're going to have a change in "quality", but since that's a subjective term, it's up to you to decide if it's a change for the better or worse. From the "sound" of it (yuk yuk yuk, pun intended, sorry) you'll like it better without.

You might be able to find a Mercedes dealer that can do the job, but they'd probably charge you more than the exhaust shop down the street.

If I were you I'd try to find a local exhaust shop that has done street rods or other custom jobs and let them have at it. Shouldn't take much time/effort at all.
