Good Morning,

Just received my quad exhaust tips in the mail. I'm looking to have them welded on within the next day or two.

I'm a bit flustered about whether I should delete the resonators with an X-pipe, or leave the resonators in place and delete the mufflers and replace with the tips.

On my BMW E90, I did the latter and was very pleased with the sound.
A lot of the videos I've been seeing on youtube and around the forums sound really raspy, almost to the tune of some Hondas.

I love the sound of the stock exhaust on my C300, just wish it was a bit more vocal. I don't need to wake the dead, but I want the exhaust note to be present.

Which way should I go? Delete resonators? or Delete mufflers?

On a side note, getting rid of those two bulky mufflers may spare some weight

X pipe goes where the resonator is

Full on muffler delete sounds way too loud from what I've seen on youtube. While an x-pipe seems to sounds very nice and subtle. On my c350 I plan on going with the x-pipe. Like you said I don't want to wake the dead.

i had no muffler+xpipe and the drone in the cabin was really loud and annoying. However, the sound outside was great. I eventually went back to stock mufflers + xpipe. Alot quieter, but oh well. I actually tried magnaflow mufflers + xpipe, still wasn't pleased

I have no mufflers and x pipe. The drone gets annoying but i love the noise outside.

FYI yesterday I went to a cole muffler to ask about the xpipe. After he insisted that I should straight pipe instead, I ran away to a more reputable shop. Whom is also questioning why xpipe vs straight pipe. Very curious but since xpipe is strongly recommended on the forums I'm moving forward with that.

I did x pipe first too. See if you like it. I wanted more of a vrooooom. So i did muffler delete afterwards lol

Paid $160 to weld the tips and fabricate the xpipe. I think that's a great deal.

I paid $180 + 100 for the x pipe. then a $160 for muffler delete at more reputable shop.

The place where i got my xpipe installed, i went in there to get a quote. They said they have to take a look under the car to get a quote. I said okay. Went out to get some food. I come back and they're like oh we installed it, it'll be $180.
