Well I do not think you will get much of a performance gain but removing the resonator and putting in a X pipe will give it a great sound. Im working on getting a video to hear the sound clip of mine.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Per

above .resonator delete and an H pipe of the same diameter as the exhaust pipes is about all you need.An H pipe will give that engine a few more ft lb of torque over an x pipe and torque down low is what you are looking for.

that is all u did? remove the resonator and putting on a new pipe?
ive got the 420 and i think its a single pipe to the back. so i dk if i can do the x pipe or H pipe.
