eisenmann and supersprint are in the works for exhaust systems i believe. resonator removal if i'm not mistaken should be pretty easy for any muffler shop to do and it's super cheap on C32's

Hi Marc. I'm in for some aural enhancement if you guys figure something out. I emailed B&B since they are here in Phoenix but haven't hear back form them. I'm thinking about hitting up Pep Boys for some glass paks, what do you think?

Hey guys, I am going to have my resonator surgically removed next week. I had a chat with an exhaust guy and he said that it being an AMG car and all he would be hesistant to do much other than remove the resonator. It can be easily removed for $40 I might add, and re-installed if I am unhappy with the change. I'll try to get over there by mid week and let you know what I think.

So what's the verdict 05C55? The the exhaust mod work out for you. Did the sound improve? Did you loose a bit of low end torque? Please let us know. TIA.

I had the resonator removed on my C55. The sound is a little louder and deeper. Nice.

TEASha, did you experience a drone or vibration at a certain RPM range? Notice any loss of low end torque? TIA.
