X-Pipe Not Loud Enough. How can I make it louder?
Hey guys, so I recently did the X-pipe, quad tips set up, but the sound isn't as satisfying. I was wondering how I can make it a bit louder, without much drone sound.
-Thanks

Even though they are often referred to as "secondary cats", they are actually just resonators.
Removing them makes quite a bit more sound that the x-pipe alone.
Not exactly representative of what it will actually sound like cause I could only rev to 4k RPM, but here is my car with an x-pipe and "secondary cats" (inline resonators) removed. Same engine as yours, the M276 3.5L. Be careful of advice from 2012 or previous C300's because they have a different engine, the 3.0L M272.

it's a magnaflow. no drone with pretty quiet music on. Sort of audible cruising with sound off at 2300+ rpm.
the car in your profile has half the displacement of my car so your experience will differ.
