C450 Muffler delete exhaust video
Hey guys...just completed my muffler delete this morning. Replaced the mufflers with straight pipes and left the resonator in. It's pretty loud. Have the vivid racing tune Juicebox going in tomorrow. Check out the YouTube video if you want to hear what it sounds like. For $100 it's pretty darn good. It's pretty loud when under throttle on the freeway but I think I can live with it. Other option is to install two resonators where the mufflers were if I think it's too loud. I'll keep you posted. What are your thoughts?

I found the video's volume was very low, but what I heard sounds promising. I noticed the overrun crackling sound is a bit fatter now.
My questions is what else needed to be removed along with the mufflers? Is this a muffler with controllable flaps to contend with? Are there any electronic controllers or tubes running to the cans?

The drone is pretty loud at low rpms. I am going to have them install resonators in place of the mufflers next and see if that helps with the sound at all. I will post videos when completed.

So to my knowledge there are no valves anywhere on the stock c450 exhaust system. When you put it into sport + however, the exhaust note is much deeper and you get the pops and crackles when you let off the gas. The shop where I got this done told me that the sport + just tweaked the ecu and fuel mapping and therefore the change in exhaust note. So, with the muffler delete, you still get a throatier sound and very loud pops and crackles

Sorry, it's too loud and unrefined. The AMGs are loud but they're done so in a more refined manner. And plus the drone will annoy the heck out of me and I don't think I will be getting the type of stares I would want with that level of noise pollution.

It looks like there is a fair amount of room left next to the mufflers. What about putting in a pair of vacuum controlled exhaust cutouts in place of the pipes after the Y. Most exhaust systems that integrate these usually have the straight pipe running through the muffler and then meeting again before the tips, but it isn't important to have the exhaust finishers actually be the exit.
I drove a Ghibli sQ4 today and the cold startup noise on it is downright scary! It has a button inside the car to keep the flaps open on full throttle also.
Who needs a $2500 exhaust suite anyway if you just want a full open exhaust sound on demand?

Excuse my ammaturish questions. Most my automotive knowledge is pretty dated.

This one pictured works off boost. 5lbs or less it shuts the flap. I just don't know where the line hooks up to sence boost pressure. The electronic actuators get **** on for longevity issues. The other option is having your ECU control opening. But I don't know how anyone can diy that setup.

i tried the muffler delete on my thread on a c400 and the drone at cruising speeds was simply unbearable, i also tried resonators in place of the mufflers and got the same drone, so put back the mufflers.

So did you ever put in the resonators? And would you consider selling your 450 mufflers to a 400 owner?
