Actually you can easily find D1S bulbs ( low beam ) and H7 bulbs ( cornering light ) in any local shops cheap. Only the city light is quite hard to find as they are in LED and not in a bulb form ( see my picture below of the LED ciy light ). Had a hard time finding a shop that produces them ( cost about USD$200 for a pair ) in my place but it was well worth the money.
I've been looking to replace my city lights, where did you get them from?

Wow the car feels much faster after the ECU tune! i noticed a huge torque gained around 2000 rpm and more growl at low rpm. The start up sound is louder and the cold start is awesome! love this mod !

this thread is very informative
I just removed the 2 small resontors, sound sounds like stock but a bit more rumble and a bit of throatier sound. From the outside you can hear the difference, not so much from the inside. I left the larger resonator in place.
On start up (cold) a bit more louder until engine warms up...
So after some reading.. 2.5" X pipe in place on the 2 small resonators and straight through piping until reaching mufflers... seems to be the set up.
I'm looking for a smoother sound.. deeper sound.. but I'll try my current set up a few more days.

What do you think about the einsenmann sound ? Does your car sound like that ?

I also checked out F10 M5 exhaust systems, they use an X pipe too.. so everything points that X pipe is not a bad idea to smooth out the sound when removing resonators.

sounds like stock but maybe 10% louder.. I drove my co worker today around the block.. and he didn't think it was loud at all.
I also checked out F10 M5 exhaust systems, they use an X pipe too.. so everything points that X pipe is not a bad idea to smooth out the sound when removing resonators.

gavrocool,Hyperion667 thanks for the comment. Actually here in HK, I've seen many E500with the AMG badge and i think it does a little trick that balances the rear very well. I've had no AMG badge on before and it looked as if something is missing on the right. Well this is just my perspective.
