Interesting - says it is an E55 with straight pipes and no resinator but you can see a muffler or resinator in the picture. Sounds great!

.... nothing to brag about, it is a previous model....
GREAT Sound, but..........hmm..........
Shouldn't MB be a gentleman's car ( silent racer ) for that matter?

I remembered the coolest thing I have seen, during late 90s, I saw a lady w/ her baby on baby seat back of the Black Volvo 850R Station wagon.

I was behind the Volvo at the red light. Then there is a SOUP-UP Mustang GT approaching w/ boom box music so loud that can stop my pace maker.

I am not sure if that lady has a PMS or somethings, she yelled across the window to the Mustang driver. Then Mustang driver start pumping his gas pedel as rocket is about to take off, Yeap, I am sure he took out his muffler or something..... (Volvo stay silent)

Here comes the good part!!!!! When the light turn green I can hear tires screaming ........ and that Mustang eat dusts!!!!!! (Okay, I eat lots of tire smoke)

Well..the point is..... drive a MB not red neck donkey.

Yes you can see the muffler but the resonator has been removed and you can't see it.

I agree but this is not your ordinary MB. It's been extensively modified (engine wise) so it's more of like a real 4-door race car.

Thank you all again.
