Resonator Delete in the UK?

Hey all!

The kind folks in my new CLS thread convinced me to do a resonator delete on my car, but I have no idea who to go to in the UK to do it.

Are there any members here who know of reputable techs/tuners here in the UK who could do this for my CLS 63??

Please share if you do, and thanks for your time!

You dont need a tuner- you need a good muffler shop. I did my removal about a year ago (search my name for the post in this forum). The muffler shop will cut the pipes and replace with 2 straight pipes. Just go to a good shop that has a good welder.

Thanks for the clarification Vic! I'm completely new to this, so apologies for my lack of understanding, I'm going to burden you with a few more questions:

Is this something that can be easily reversed too? I assume some cutting is involved as you mentioned a welder.

How much should they be charging approx? Just so I'm not ripped off!

Thanks in advance sir.

Its easily reversable---- I have posted some pics below the before and after shots and the link to my thread. Im not sure what the UK guys will charge but a solid welder over here could charge anywhere from 50 to 150 for parts and labor:

After:



And the thread with feedback and a video at standstill:

Vic walked me through this too back in the day. The operation is a joke...should be cheap and fast to do....and totally changes the way your car sounds when you stomp on it. Best mod for the money...DO IT NOW!
