It would make it louder but it may run worse with less power. You need a corresponding decrease in intake restriction to balance the lower restriction exhaust. Then of course you need to deliver more fuel to keep the mixture maximized for combustion.
Hello, I would like to install C63 exhaust on my E500 coupe. Would it be possible ? Anyone has done so ?
Thanks for your answers.
I have the C63 exhaust on my car. You'll need some pipe welding. If you want close to a C63 sound, you must do this set up : high flow primary cat --> x pipe --> no resonator --> gutted C63 mufflers. You need to gut the mufflers making it a straight out because the stock muffler resonates the sound too much. Now my car sounds much like a C63 but only the start up sound is not as loud as a C63 but I'm gonna get a tune at EuroCharged which they can set the engine to rev higher only at start up to gain that sound.
It sounds more complicated than I thought.
I don't wanna lose power (and/or torque). I just want to hear the melody of the V8. How much did it cost for all that ?

You can get 70% of the way there with just a resonator delete. I cut out the resonator and put in straight pipes and it's at least 60% louder/throatier.
The straight pipes allow the gasses to pulse that give you the V8 rumble. Don't do an x pipe.

Shouldn't cost more than $150.
Yes and if you want even louder you can replace the second cat with straight pipe or x pipe. I've tried both while straight pipe produces more noticeable rumble and the tone is too high at higher rpm. I prefer the x pipe even though it does smoother the sound ( less rumbling ), the tone is lower and more throatier at higher rpm.
I had the CL63 exhaust on my car with the resonator delete. It was too loud and raspy for my liking. Put back the resonators and now its perfect with a deep tone and no raspiness.
I am considering Supersprint Exhausts , anyone can advice me on which parts should I get ? I may just stick with the OEM tips. Do I need an X pipe ? (what's the purpose of it ? )

could you please tell me a bit more about these 2 points? how to do that?
The easy answer, and the one I utilize, is to buy a full intake and exhaust kit from a reputable manufacturer. They do all of the engineering and testing so it is optimized out of the box. Otherwise its a trial and error process.
On my BMW's I've used Dinan kits, on my Harley I use S&S kits and there are many for MB too.
An engine needs the proper restriction and air velocity to efficiently pulse the fuel mixture. Everything you put into the engine (sucked), needs to get out (pumped), otherwise you have burnt fuel mixed in with the next (new) fuel mixture. Think of intake and exhaust pulses, anything not balanced interferes with the pulse efficiency.

the reason why i am asking because i changed on my E200 cgi exhaust from Piecha design. And car started to behave noticably bad. On acceleration it behaves very "stupid" , always lagging, it was not like this before.It was always been very fast on acceleration. Now it makes loud sounds but does not ride respectively. It is noticable on 1500-2500 rmp, after everything is okay.
I am thinking now to chip tune car from 184hp to 215hp with proper ECU tuning. So i could ask guys to test car and solve problems.

How were they able to fit the exhaust in there so the the twin pipes line up horizontal and fit properly?
Hey guys, I know this guy that's selling his crazy IPE exhaust that's on his c63 2010 4door. I was wonder if it would fit my car and how easy the installation would be. Because that exhaust is insane and would really give a nice soud to my car. Albeit it already does sound quite nice since I have a tune and catless downpipes + reso delete but it's missing that little something!

are you running ur car setup with the oem muffler ( exhaust ) ?
since u went catless you dont smell the gas smell ( since u are catless ) ?
honestly i checked some videos about that IPE , and it sound just way too loud for my taste unless u are planning to only use the car for racing and in closed tracks,
also i think but i could be wrong ..sounds just like a straight pipe that IPE is just reduces the sound by 10-15% from a straight pipe set up ( just do a mufler delete and see if you like it )
as far as the installation goes , a good muffler shop would be able to do it with no problems probably might just need slight modification for the bracket .

Yes well the only thing that's left on my exhaust is the oem mufflers. I don't want to do a muffler delete since I'll be straight piped all the way and that'll be way too loud. The ipe exhaust offer valves which can be turned on and off for an extremely obnoxious roar and a more civilized option when you don't want to wake the whole neighborhood. I've been looking for a custom job to add cutoff valves to my stock mufflers (possibly shoot flames 😍 but I don't have many tuning shops where I live so that option is pretty much limited for me.
Since I'm catless there is a fuel odor if your car is parked inside a garage but it's relatively weak and is never inside the car even if you are idling/revving for hours. It only smells on the outside and frankly I enjoy that smell haha
