Pepe really knows his stuff.

Thank you for that.
Very nice!
I'm sure it gets loud under WOT.

Am I the only one that drives normal cruising at 3,000rpm? LOL!
I'm always in 'M'anual mode as I love to always be in control of the motor's rotation.

I guess that's why I always have to add a quart of oil.
My car already needed to be topped off twice. The car was asking for 1 quart each time.

Wow, how many miles have you got on your car so far? Btw, now that the muffler (with the resonator removed) has settled in, it's a little bit louder than when I had the resonator removed. Overall, I would say it's about 20% louder than stock set up.

Any power loss feel tq wise? I just got my car today with the PP and the car sounds pretty good stock. In fact, it sounds louder than my 6.3 AMG.

Nope, I don't feel any difference at all. No loss felt at low speed and certainly no improvement at the top end either.

Deleting resonators wont increase or decrease any power.
Its mainly for sound.

I'm at only 3,500 miles, but I always drive with the motor close to 3,000rpm for normal cruising.
Also, I've been told a new motor will usually use up more oil but this gradually decreases as the motor ages.

The '12 CLS63 definitely sounds louder and deeper than my previous '07 CLS63.

Pepe will see a handful of CLS63's stopping by and he'll have neosky to thank for it.

Group buy anyone?

Yeah bro I figured but I ask because on FI engines changing back pressure sometimes messes up TQ but the resonator doesnt play that role.
