Here's the sound if you keep the standard downpipes and remove the rear mufflers:

I picked my car up yesterday after having the AWE Track Edition exhaust fitted to the factory dump pipes.
I am extremely happy with the new tone my car now produces.
In 'Park' it rumbles like you would expect a V8 too and no droning on the highway.
I understand that the AWE Track Edition has a valve in the H pipe. Can you control that valve with the Exhaust control button (if you have the Performance Exhaust) or by swithing between Comfort and Sport+ mode? Does sound change with that valve open vs closed? Thank you

Sorry for duplicate. Wasn't sure how to Quote.

I drive in Sport + and recently Race Mode.
I'll update in the next couple of days on tone changes when switching the H Pipe open and closed.
I've gotten tonnes of compliments now that people can hear and see what this car is.

Lol guys!! Come on.
Yes it's 40% louder inside.
I want a sound closer to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfZ8UMjuIeI
I know the mustang (yes yikes) has a flat NA v8 crank etc but what can I do to get something closer to that sound?
Don't treat me like I'm crazy!

I would love to know what will get as close to that as possible.
I've held back on catless DP - I keen (if anything) to get high flow DP with 100/200 Cats.

Love this thread!
OP, I'm with you. I'd prefer to have a nice rumble at idle, and throaty when @ WOT, but not willing to have the associated (sometimes) raspiness.
That's one reason I've kept my 2011 CLS63 stock, with regards to the exhaust:

hey guys,
i appreciate everyone's input. very helpful. i looked into replacing the factory h pipe by an x pipe but it involves cutting and welding so i decided against it. especially since it'll also impact the valves of the performance exhaust.
I like this suggestion but i'm very unfamiliar to it. how intrusive is it? do you happen to have sound clips of your CL?
Thanks!

I had these bullet type inline mufflers on my CL after I removed resonator and it took out all the raspy harsh tones. Can't remember brand.
Magnaflow makes these.

See if you can maybe get the Renntech High Flow DPs. Their price is a joke though.

But these bullet mufflers are just that, streamlined as a bullet and maybe an inch or so wider so it fits anywhere. 200$ no brainer.
