2014 C350 Coupe
c350 muffler delete?

Would a muffler delete make the c350 coupe too loud/drone?
I was thinking of deleting the resonator and adding an x pipe however is there a major sound difference?
How would leaving the resonator and removing just the muffler sound?
I have a 2014 c350 coupe

no one does muffler deletes. the people who have done them, have reversed them just as fast.

X-pipe your resonator. straight pipe your secondary resonators (inline). If you want more sound, get high flow aftermarket mufflers.

take a look under your car, understand what everything is before you proceed.

As a frame of reference: X-piped main resonator and straight piped secondary resonators creates slight drone at 2300-2400 RPM (cruising 130-135km/hr)

Correction: I have muffler delete for over 6 months and I dont plan on going back anytime soon.
My friend has a 12 C350 that he also did a muffler delete with me and it sounds soo mean now (the only difference between mine and his is that I have an x-pipe instead of resonators).
There isn't too much drone, we both use our cars for daily drives to work. Its totally liveable. I suggest if you are looking for a good exhaust sounds, do the muffler delete and if you still want more; get x-pipe as well.

we're discussing different engines. your m272 has 20% less displacement than our m276's, so you're not in much of a position to comment on drone.
