C55 with x-pipe, j-pipe exhaust mod.
I have true-dual exhaust with x-pipe, deleted mufflers, 2nd, resonators, kept stock AMG tips, with 29" J-pipes to get rid of the drone around 1800-2000rpm, drone free system that sounds awesome when you step on it.

here some video clips.

rev and take off..

How are the J-pipes adjustable? Would you just shorten them?

There are clamps with bolts, u can just unbolt them, it's adjustable to about 28-31 inches. There is chart.. 28" inches gets rid of 1800rpm drone, Keep in mind this is for V8, for v6/v4 it will different since they produce drone and lower frequency.

Any thoughts on adding a single jpipe to my 3" c32 v6 when i remove the 2nd cats and resonator? Did you play with different diameter curves and lengths? I was thinking of installing an electronic cut out just before the j.

Very, very cool. I have an E550, and am about to do the J pipes in a few days. What a fantastic thread! I will be making them adjustable now.

Awesome music! When floored, sounds very similar to CLK63 BS I heard many mornings. And the J-pipe arrangement is very clever.

Didn't know there were so many of us here in the Bayarea. The clip in the city reminded me of the movie Bullit, only it's silver arrow!

Very, very impressive!!!
