VIDEO: 2012 C63 X Pipe and Resonator Delete

Deleted the secondary cats and replaced it with an X Pipe. The X pipe smoothed out the flow so much that it made the car quieter.

Soooooo... I got a local shop delete my resonators and replace them with straight pipes.....


THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!!

Sounds stock at cruising speed. No drone whatsoever!
Beautifully loud when on it!

Info:
APX Performance Package Plus
ROW Air Boxes
AFE Pro Dry Filters
MBH X Pipe
Resonator Delete

Enjoy!

I'm doing my E55 this week. I'm just curious on the power gains, because I'm racing a M5 saturday at the drag strip. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I like the gargle as well!

As for power gain I believe there is none (Res delete)

The X pipe will probably give a little. On the highway it seems to pull a tiny little more. From light to light I don't feel much of a difference.

Oh...I like it! The X-pipe pussified my K2 setup. This looks like what I need to bring back the K2 bark. And no drone!

I hope my X pipe pussifies my exhaust....

I went past a group of people standing for the bus at redline today and they all went flying for cover.

What X pipe are you using?

I should be receiving my MBH X Pipe for my 2012 this week too. So you recommend deleting the resonator as well? I am a bit worried if I do that it will get drone... ??? You really have NO drone?

No drone; sounds like he was revving with a cold engine, which made it louder than it is.

Here's a driving vid for the person that asked:

No Drone at all. I highly recommend it.

Why don't you install the Xpipe... Drive with it for a couple of days and if it's not to your liking... Delete the resonators =O)
