Its nothing crazy, just me driving around giving an example of what it sounds like inside the car with the resonators replaced with straight pipes.
Lemme know what you guys think, Enjoy...

Sweet sound! Sounds like it should be. Do you anticipate any issues with the law on the level of noise? Hope not as I love the sound!

_AMG_

Thanks for the kind words,
As far as the law goes, i have been given some dirty looks by cops but I haven't been stopped for it being too loud *knock on wood*.

black-clk500

haha--give 'em time they find some reason to pull you over
Sounds great--I can't tell that it's any different, but I find it hard to record the sound this car makes anyway--either way sounds awesome--I like the downshift in the underpassI do it every time!
nice work

_AMG_

Lol tell me about it, especially in L.A.
Thanks for the kind words, It is kinda hard to get the full sound through the video camera but it sounds alot more throatier then stock. That's my favorite part about it.

ryguy84

love the sound. so is there a consensus if the straight pipes lose power over adding the x pipe?

KCviper

Sounds great. I know you will enjoy every time you start it and drive it.......

_AMG_

Thank you...
I haven't felt that ive lost any power by going with straight pipes, it just sounds alot more aggressive then stock.
If i replace the 2ndary cats with straight pipes i would lose low end power. I would definitely go with an X pipe if were to delete the 2ndary cats.

_AMG_

Thank you.
Haha ya, i really enjoy the sound and the drive.

Perfect sound, AMG!

Made another video tonight at work. I was pretty bored and wanted to take a vid to kill time.

Sounds great! I love your wife/partners comment in your other video when you turn around in the middle of the road, fail, FAIL!

Awesome sound, I'm hoping to get a similar if not better effect when I pick up a set of LT headers.

_AMG_

Are you talking about a license plate?

Thank you.
Haha She told me i should have burned out when i made the 2nd pass.

Thank you Boost.
LT headers will make it sound 100x better IMO.

Very good video of straight pipes. One of the few that actually you can hear the actual sound you hear in person from inside! It's fantastic.

_AMG_

Thanks soldier.
I still cant get the full real life sound through my camera but its pretty close.

GHAZAN

no the aluminum kind

Great sound. It's addicting to listen to.

I'm curious why you said that if you replace the secondary cats with straight pipes you would lose low end power? Have you heard of this happening to someone with their C63?

_AMG_

Thank you for the kind words Sonny.

Straight pipes create less back pressure which is good for top end power. X pipe creates more back pressure which is better for low end torque.

BTW i like that pic of your dog!! lol

SonnyakaPig

You're welcome.

I have always heard that x-pipes and h-pipes increase flow by allowing the pressure to equalize in some fashion. There's some function of the cross-over pipe that causes the gas that enters that area to speed up the flow of the exhaust that's flowing past it.

I know that was a poor explanation. But I'm not an expert on exhaust systems. So, I apologize.

Thanks for the compliment on the pooch. He's turning 12 and he's still going strong, except for mornings, when it's hard for him to get up. It's like a cold start for our car -- always more of an effort than the rest of the days' starts.

_AMG_

Yup, that's exactly what it does. It also helps balance out the 2 exhaust banks.
