S63 or S65 exhaust on an S600.
Hello all
Sorry if this has been asked before, but i have recently purchased a 2008 S600 V12 Twin Turbo. Now while all the power is available to put a big smile on your face there is no good sound to go with it.
I was in a dilemma about 6 years ago about wether to buy a W220 S55 Kompressor or the W220 S600 V12 Twin Turbo. In the end i bought the S55 mainly because of the exhaust note. Now having sold that and moving to the newer S600 i miss the "AMG Hammer" sound from the exhaust.
I was thinking of putting on some rear boxes from a W221 S63 or the S65 onto my S600, but would that be enough to replicate the sound, or get it pretty close even? I mean after all, the S65 is essentially the same engine in the same body, but sound like a monster.
Iv seen people put C63 rear boxes onto E55's before and that seems to work.
Will it work on the big cars, and will i only need the rear boxes or the complete system? Failing that (because S63 and S65 parts are hard to get a hold of) will rear boxes from any of the other AMG models work, the C63, E63, CLS63, CL63/CL65 being the primary examples?
Many thanks.

Thank you for the reply, and may i say a very nice looking CL you have there as well. Dont see too many in white.
Iv heard a few S600 and CL600's on YouTube with the mufflers deleted or straight pipes and while they sound very throaty its not quite the same tune as an AMG car. But then i suppose nothing apart from an AMG car would make that particular noise, otherwise everybody will be doing it.
I dont know what AMG put in the back boxes, maybe more (or less) baffles to give it that certain rumble but its certainly the best exhaust note out there.
