X-Pipe 2013 C350 Sedan

Hi guys, I'm in love with the c63 sound, but more approprialety the way it sounds classy when cruising and aggressive when you throttle. Obviously I do not have a c63, nor do I want to pretend that I do.

The X-Pipe / Resinator delete / Magnaflow mod thats commonly posted on here has given me mixed feedback.

My questions are

1) Does or is there a way to install it without voiding my warranty.

2) Is there cabin drone? If I do just xpipe, vs xpipe+res delete. I work at a law firm so having a civic like soupcan muffler every time I hit the gas would not fly. As well, drowning out my passengers conversation when I hit the gas pedal = not cool. Please clarify this for me!

Sorry if the title confused you, x pipe is replacement for resonator.

and 2nd cat is replaced with straight pipe.

if that makes any sense at all.

The x-pipe will give you more sound during a cold start and during acceleration and will sound pretty much stock during idle and cruising. I don't have any drone at all. I would say it is a little step in the direction of sounding like a C63
