Did you remove the resonator? If so I suggest you do it so it'll sound a little more V8!

You would have to go get it done at a muffler shop, that probably the best thing to do, and yes it is CA smog legal.

I don't think it will really have an affect on horsepower, but it will sound better.

I have been looking for a sound clip of that exhuast for awhile now. Not really impressed by the sound. Especially it not being a 320 and a 430. Pretty disappointed. I hope I am just not hearing the clear sound. But thanks for defiently showing us a clip.

lol damn calm down....it didnt really seem like he was sayin it in an offensive way...he was jus sayin how he wasnt really feelin it....

jasonowens - that lorinser prob sounds better in person tho.......i heard all the eisenmann clips online and wasnt really impressed either (they sound weird and different on video) but decided to try it neway since every1 raved about it sooo much and now i luvv it.....try the eisenmann since u seem to want somtin more aggressive...im pretty sure they have a 320 application...

I didn't mean to offfend anyone. I was just giving my opinion. I defeintly dont think it sounds bad or anything. I just thought it would sound more aggressive. I owned Lexus's all my life. GS300, GS400, GS430 and so on... we use HKS, Borla, L-Tuned and etc. I havent had this car for even a month yet so I learn as I go on and from you guys. Mercedes is a whole different ball game. I'm trying to decide which is exhaust is best for me. Any input at all is good to me. So thanks.
