Wait, are you sure you even have a resonator in your exhaust system? I thought the C55's exhaust system was the same setup as our CLK55's exhaust system. And if that's the case, there are no resonator. There are only 4 small cats. Two of them are below each side of the headers and the other two is near where the driver and passenger sits. I wanted to confirm this by going to a muffler shop and he agreed with me that there was no resonator.

yes the c55 has a resonator, and I've deleted it. Its not a big deal, just have a muffler shop cut out the resonator and weld in a 3" dia. stainless steel tubing.

Might consider putting a soundpipe in place of the resonator...just so you can actually get a significantly deeper exhaust tone.

If not, well, any alu or ss piping is fine.

when I had my resonator removed, installing AMG C32 exhaust,
muffler shop (ED HANSON's) recommended stainless steel.

Because if you get a non-stainless steel pipe, i.e. metal ones, it will be rusted over a period of time.

dhan83: We have done a number of bypass pipes for numerous AMGs (CL55s, E55s, C32s, C55s) to improve the sound and add couple of horses.

You would want to keep it stainless since all of AMG exhausts are stainless. Otherwise, if aluminised pipe is used it will look like crap and rust out in several years in cold climates.

Talk to Mike at sales (714.901.3100) - we have bypass pipes pre-cut, just weld in, available at good prices.

Thank you for your order.

What other ss pipes? Most muffler shops do not have stainless. They use aluminized steel. Which in cold climate will rust out in several years.
