You have to upload it to youtube or another host. I don't think Mbworld hosts vids.

thanks wes.

NP, it sounds mean! Nice scenery too.

Your car sounds so mean! I really like it

Alright so there is no droning from the resonator delete, no power gains, and feels more responsive, but is there any power loss?...and loss in low end/ high end torque?...or do you feel it "pulls" better?

not bad sounds like a stock clk550

Bump...

Cause I'm getting my resonator done tomorrow and don't want any power loss/ torque loss...so anyone experience any sort of power loss just deleting the resonator whether it's low end torque or high end torque or just power in general?

Thanks...

nah you will be fine. I didnt really notice a change at all. A little more growling but thats about it

Dunno if i ever posted this here but i did some videos too. Bad weather and iPhone camera but still gives you an idea of what it sounds

lmao my friend goes damn twice in the video. Ignore him haha

You might feel it a bit sluggish at first, but once the ECU adapts it will go back.

my friend did a resonator deleted on his FX35, and the difference was very noticeable, the new sound was amazing. Im surprised this mod doesnt make much of a difference on our CLK. Im thinking of doing it today though, hoping that there would be an actual difference in sound.

That's because the FX35's (and the G35's) were already designed to have a sweet exhaust note. Removing the resonators just simply unleashes the potential. The difference with our CLK's is that they were designed to be quiet.

Deleting the resonator should not add/free up any power whatsoever nor cause any power loss/sluggish feeling to the car. The reason being that the resonator is a straight though design, it does not impede or restrict flow, its only purpose is to mellow the sound out. Because you are not removing an air restrictive device, the ECU will not have to adapt, you're just going to get a meatier tone to the exhaust.

The secondary cats and muffler are different stories because removing them removes restriction, there will be an increase in power (due to an increase in efficiency but raising the A/F ratio) and a short ECU adapt time.

Thanks man...yeah I got this done last week for like 50 bucks...no sluggish or power difference...just a deeper sound...easy and quick mod...
