Not really, changing the exhaust system shouldn't have too much effect but it depends on your supplying dealership.

I'd say get the secondary cats removed and see how you find that?

+2 - If you're just looking for noise, then the x-pipe is the way to go... keep your old cats just in case...

The turbos restrict the amount and quality of sound generated by the engine. It's pretty hard to get a V-8 normally asperated growl from a turbo car.

We have systems from SuperSprint and REMUS available.

We're about to make an announcement this week on the SuperSprint system with quad tips, AMG tips and the ability to retain the OEM tips as well. It will be available as a cat-back or rear section mufflers.

That would be interesting: please include sound bites if you can.

I heard the Vath exhaust sounds awesome, and the pics look really cool on the e coupe. But it does void the warranty for the exhaust, but if you do put back on the stock exhaust your warranty is fine.
I am really looking into getting the vath quad exhaust for the coupe. It is offered in quads or duals.
The price is just over $2100.

I believe an x-pipe will have the same effect on your warranty as an aftermarket system. If the warranty is effected, does it void the warranty for just the exhaust system?

I spoke to my dealer, and they said it voids the warranty for just the exhaust system and not the whole car.

As long as you do not remove cats, your powertrain warranty will remain intact. If you remove cats, you get in Check Engine Lights and reflash games and you are in for warranty nightmares should anything happen.

I don't think anyone here is looking into exhausts expecting gains comparable to a tune on a turbocharged engine. Upgrading to an aftermarket cat-back exhaust is mostly for sound, superior quality, weight reduction, better looking tips and slight performance gains.

Just have straight pipes installed. It sounds awesome. Even my friend with a 2012 CLS63 AMG says my car sounds better than his.

If you replaced the mufflers too I bet it would sound crazy.

Delete the second cat too ! Well actually they are not cat because there is only honey comb inside it so it's actually second resonator.

The honey comb is the cat...dont remove them because your car will not pass smog (in Calif) without them.
