*First Post* E350 CDI resonator delete?

Hi guys

First post on this forum and only just picked up my merc so hello to you all.

I picked up my 2011 E350 CDI V6 3.0L Turbo with 45k miles on Friday and love it!!!!!!

I imagine there has been many posts before this about the subject but I'm thinking of doing a middle resonator delete? not the mufflers just the middle res.

Ive seen lots of videos of youtube but the majority are petrol and mine is obviously a diesel.

I was just wondering what it would sound like and if anyone has done it on theres? Any drone or horrible noise? Fitting problems?

If I do do it I'm thinking of just going to two straight pipes rather than an x pipe simply down to cost, because if I don't like it I haven't wasted ££££.

Thanks

Matty

Welcome and congrats on your new ride.

I do not know how the resonator delete would sound on your diesel, but I loved the sound difference on my TT-V8:

you can make it look better, you can even make it faster but you cant make it sound better.

you can do that if youre prepared to spend serious dough. but a simple cut and replace wont do you any good. youll just waste your time more than your money.
