2011 e550 full resonator delete

Just got done with my full resonator delete on my N/A e550 and man does it sound awesome. Basically had them take out the front resonators and replace with X-pipe then continue to cut out the rear ones and fill them in with straight pipe. It has the rumble of the E63 AMG and quite at idle, with no highway drone but then you hit the gas to pass a car man do you hear it and its awesome!! Probably the best mod you can do for a good price

Awesome, You should post a video with some onboard footage, I'm sure a lot of people are on the fence of doing this, but need convincing that drone will not be too much of an issue!

I'd be interested in inside and outside sound clips.
What does that configuration cost roughly?

Thanks

If you stand at the back of the car when it's idling, does it sound weird?

It is. Little louder maybe 20% but it sounds fine. If you haven't heard stock before you would be like "wow!" Until you open that throttle of course!

I removed only the rear resonator and couldn't be happier with the sound, made me not want to get an aftermarket anymore because I'm scared it won't sound as good. My only complaint is that if I stand at the back while it's idling, it sounds a little tractor-ish. For $112 I can't complain, beats $3500.
