Korean Exhaust on E350c

So of course coming from the American V8 crowd to a european V6 i knew that the exhaust would never be truly pleasing to my ears, but it is somewhat tuned sounding and the engine sounds great as well.

The Koreans took the entire exhaust after the cats off and just used straight pipe and it actually sounds good while being revved. I assume it will sound ****ty as soon as they take off but i wanted to share this and see if anyone has done anything like this. I know some take their resonator out, that sounds like a bad idea in the V6 so ive left it there.

Sound clips from modified e350 exhuasts are pretty rare so i figured i toss this into the forums in case someone one day decides this might be a good idea.

The links directly under the video.


They show (i cant read korean) the install and work required to get this sound.


I once had a straight pipe header back exhaust installed for 300 so my estimate was from that. And im in the bay area so costs are as high as theyll get.

Here is the direct translation. Only translated what was relately to the process. The blogger seemed to sidetrack pretty often. Translation is in chronological order.

Remove the OEM resonator and the "pipes".

Building the connecting parts for "X".

Meanwhile OEM "mid" and "end" sections are brought down (from the vehicle).

The "line" (pipes) is complete. Compared to the OEM one it is built out of high quality Stainless 61mm 2T (SUS304) so no worries for corrosion.
