Deciding on a resonator delete w/ muffler delete
I currently have had my w204 C300 2010 with its mufflers deleted for almost a year. Sound is honestly great and very surprising for this car's V6. I do not really feel ricey at all, because even people with heavily modified cars at my my college thought I had a full custom exhaust.
Strongly thinking about getting and X-Pipe in replace of the resonator as well. Is this a good idea or is it honestly too loud because I feel as if it gets much quieter after warming up with just a muffler delete?
I want the car to just be more aggressive sounding in the hiring RPM band. I feel as if 4-6k should be even more pronounced, and I truly am wondering if an x-Pipe with the muffler delete with simply get me pulled over every day in MA, or if it honestly is not as big of a deal as people make.
I CANNOT imagine an x-pipe + muffler delete being as loud as say, a modified V8 exhaust.
EDIT:

While I personally do not agree with the X-pipe idea overall, I do however believe you should mod your car to what you want regardless of the forum. Exhaust sound is subjective, just expect not everyone is going to like it.

I completely agree with your statements. However, do you have any insight as to whether or not you think the Muffler delete + X-Pipe will be honestly overbearing, even if someone loves a LOUD car?

If you love the drone go for it, although I am not the proper demographic to ask. Also expect your X-pipe to be covered in rust within a year.

Isn't their any X-Pipe brand's that are made of high quality and will NOT rust? I have heard of this before. As far as drone goes, it doesn't really bother me as drone on the highway with just the muffler deletes is pretty BALLER :p

Maybe that drone isn't so "baller" to others in cars around you and people in your neighborhood.

I don't see a sexy roaring v6 as obnoxious.

I highly recommend getting an x pipe. I did it to my old C300

Really appreciate the "warm welcome... ![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
I don't see why you would bash someone for modifying their car to their liking. Anyways, many people have muffler deletes and resonator deletes on this forum, so i wish i got some feedback from someone that approves.

I have both deleted, and I love the sound. Granted I have a 2014 so its the 3.5l vs. your 3.0l.

Does it get quieter as the car warms up and does it ever lose the rasp? I love it and hope it stays that way even after the engine warms. On my muffler delete after the car warms up it definitely gets a LOT quieter.

I would really appreciate it that! Also while on the topic, where did you order your E63 AMG squared tips and diffuser? I am trying to go for the same look.

Maybe keeping resonator and just deleting 2nd cats? I really dont like xpipe due to raspiness it gives me. Plus, if you delete resonator the drone will be louder, 2nd cats dont play a big role in the drone. 2nd cats delete sounds louder then just resonator delete with xpipe. I think i saw you on comm ave BU area once. Your wheels got my attention.
