2012 CLS63 TT Resonator Delete Video/Sound
After seeing Neosky's post about removing the resonator with Pepe in Long Beach, I felt it was necessary as well. I have taken my other AMG's there for some work and I know he does an excellent job. I chose to go with a straight pipe in place of the resonator (see pics) and I truly believe the video/sound doesnt do the car justice. This is the only exhaust mod on the car: resonator removal.
I was quite shocked after the removal to see how much sound I gained; its a good gain and I really like the way the car sounds now. Its very aggressive but not so much in lower RPMs circa 2k. But when you open it open it roars. Rather impressive for just a resonator removal in my opinion. Whats funny is when I start it up it has the powerful bark but after a few seconds it calms down a bit to a light purr. The throttle blips really showcase this mod too- the car is loud. This M157TT continues to amaze me.
The video might need to be turned up a bit just an FYI. And my apologies for the gap between idle and throttle presses. I was hoping to do some drive by's but that will happen another time.

Im still waiting on my set of KW coilovers so I can lower the car and I ordered HRE's about two weeks ago. The car should look even better and then Ill get some nice shots.
Oh and stop copying me on every car/wheels I get Dave; do not get this car- get an f'in life. How's that for abusive? Life is good.

Vic, what does the KW lowering kit consist of?
Also, which HRE's did you pick up?

Rob at Vivid just posted in a different thread that he lowered his with KW and he has them in stock- but no pics grrrrrrrrrr yet.
KW's are the sleeved coil for the front of our cars so we can adjust the ride height and get the benefits of a coil over progressive set up in the front. The rear is adjusted via the Airmatic and KW provides the sensors. Im getting the kit but just using the front coils- Serge is going to use the SDS to drop the rear.
I got 20x9 and 20x11 P43S's in Satin!!

thank you for sharing.
i noticed your car doesn't have a fog red light in the middle of the diffuser !!!
is it something related to US spec ?
