C400 Resonator Delete
Has anyone with a C400 deleted their resonators? I'm looking for a louder exhaust tone, I know our cars have two resonators. Anyone delete 1 or both and kept the OEM mufflers? Or has anyone gone to dual pipes, no resonators and OEM mufflers?

If you delete yours, please let us know the results. I'm in a C400 as well, and I can't stand the sound of the v6, as is. Lots of droning and groaning, but not much character or appeal, imo.

In my case, I think it's more that I don't like the v6 sound/feel. Less of an issues of this particular v6 more an issue of the characteristics of a v6 in general. The more I think about it, the more I wonder if making it louder would actually just annoy me more. Still though, you never know until you try (or watch videos kindly posted by those who already have

How did you get exhausted pops? Mine doesn't pop or crackle at all. My morning cereal emits more stirring sounds lol. But, I'm about to spring for the jb4 upgrade on my jb1. It's not all about the sound. This is a legitimately nice, quick car. I resisted being jealous about Android auto, and even the 9 speed trans so far (this one is a bigger regret though), but once the I6 starts making its way into the pre-owned market, I might have to jump ship.

I deleted both resonators and added an electric cutout on the midpipe where the second resonator was and stock muffler installed. No drone with cutout closed and very loud with the cutout opened.

yep the setup is still the same but I installed catless DP. Without catless DP and cutout closed the car has a deeper exhaust note and slightly louder than stock setup. With Catless DP the volume and exhaust note is way louder.

No buzz then? I really would hate if it sounded like a Honda with a muffler! Also does the car burble or crackle? Any sound clips? I’m moving forward with exhaust work next week. I hope I don’t regret it. Dropping both resonators going dual pipe.
Thanks for the input.

Had the exhaust work done! Car is slightly louder, not a real difference. No drone; installed magnaflow X-pipe, no resonators and dual pipes all the way to stock mufflers. Just like the pictures in my first post (not my car). Cold starts sounds better, not worth the work done IMO. I would suggest getting different mufflers.. This of course is for the C400, C450 and up have AMG mufflers therefore sound different and better IMO.
My next move is getting C43 AMG mufflers and installing them!
Keep you guys posted!!

Hey Alex, what do you suggest the best route would be to get the best exhaust sound? X-pipe and C43 mufflers? I went tune and catless downpipes and it definitely improves the sound at higher RPMs - no real annoying drone but the downside is the smell of gas/exhaust fumes is waaaay stronger so might not be idea for most.
