Resonator.

Does the CL500 have a resonator.

I looked under my car to see two cats at the front on each side. Then each pipe goes into a central "box" and then two pipes exit this box to the rear silencers. Is this a resonator?

Here is the resonator. two of them before the 2 mufflers
open them, cut the little pipe and weld the hole closed
close the resonator by welding
(the resonator is empty, no glass-wool)

to get a even better amg like sound,
open the two mufflers, remove the glass-wool
close the muffler by welding




thats it !

You have a CL600...the exhaust system is different to the one on the CL...there are not the resonators before the rear silencers on the 500.
