I am actually interested in the x-pipe myself but I have no idea what the sound will be like and I haven't been able to find anyone who has done the x-pipe on the CLS550...
Really I want to increase the current sound to about 50% and no more than that...

I doubt there is much of a sound difference between x pipe and straight.. resonator delete will make the car sound more throaty around 1500-3500 rpm. Slightly louder, with a nice muscular sound. This is nowhere near the same as if you were to get different mufflers(my opinion way to loud). You wont be disappointed with whatever you choose, but honestly save the $$ and just do the straight pipes, any decent muffler shop can do this in an hour.
I was contemplating the idea of deleting the secondary cats also, they don't have 02 sensors so no worry about check engine light.. I think by deleting secondary cats and resonator this will give you the sound your trying to achieve.

I used to have straight pipes and loved the sound on higher rpm's but on lower rpm's it sounds horrible from outside the car. I had people ask if there was something wrong with the car.. It makes a weird burble like boats do. I have the x pipe now and honestly it sounds almost the same.. Maybe ill make a custom exhaust using borlas or magnaflow see how that sounds

I'm a bit confused when I research this on other MB forums (other models). It looks like there are a couple options of things you could remove. Just want to verify which piece that folks are calling the resonator.
In the below link, I think its piece 11 and not pieces 5/6. Is that correct? And can anyone verify who has taken that piece out that piece 11 isn't joining like an x-pipe already?

My local shop just removed my resonator and installed in X-pipe. The sound is amazing and I haven't noticed any horrible/weird sounds at the lower rpm's. The sound kicks in at higher rpm's and it is just beautiful. This is how a V8 should sound. I will create another thread and post a recording to help out members who are interested in the x-pipe.
