What kind of mods have you done to your CLS?

I recently straight piped my CLS550. Gotta say...i love it. But would be better if I can get even more sound out of it lol
These recordings are from about a month ago when I recently replaced resonator and mufflers with straight pipe. Both are cold start. Still have the main cat and the secondary cat intact.
Does removing secondary cat, which is just a canister like resonator, increase the exhaust sound? Or anything at all, if anyone knows!!
It's all blacked out, but the front star is painted in gold/bronze and yet to buy black wheels for it and then tune.
I did a few other small things of which I don't have pictures yet. Will upload them later.
BUT do let me know if the secondary cat delete would increase the exhaust note

Lots of differences a year can make
- Wrapped the car
- calipers powder coated
- lowered via OBD
- OEM S550 AMG wheels (spacers)
- android screen
- VRP intake spacers
- K&N filter
- RaceIQ Tune
- LED Interior

Full exhaust. It sounds perfect on these cars. By the time you get diffuser and tips, could be paying same amount for full Amg exhaust. I got my exhaust for $600 or so with diffuser

Do you have video clip of the sound with AMG exhaust on the 550?
And is that exhaust from primary cats to the mufflers?

Hey Yayomedina, car is looking great. Not sure if it’s the angle playing tricks on me but is your roof black? If so can you post a few pics of it? I have been debating doing this and haven’t found many good pics. Thanks.

In reference to post #56 - I think you have to take the car in for their service. I got an appt w them in November. Will be driving up from jersey w my kids and will sightsee Toronto while they work on the car. I spoke to Alex and they seem like cool people.

Android screen
This is the nicest CLS interior I have ever seen. Do they just block the original screen with the android tablet?

Think of the android head as a top level interface. The android works with existing system, you keep the same radio, backup camera, dial and button control. you can still access the old system under one of the apps.

nobody makes a tune good for 602hp on an M278 and the AMG badge on the back tells you everything you need to know about what this dude is trying to do. Gonna have to put my old hat on here and be the bad guy.
