Wow! Straight-piped my '06 E55, sounds awesome, but now need help.....
........well, the local high performance shop didnt have any mufflers in stock to try out on the E55 so I told them to take the AMG mufflers off, and the 2 rear cats and straight pipe it out the rear.
I cannot tell you how badass this car sounds right now, it turns heads EVERYWHERE! BUT, the big problem is, at 70 mph it tachs at 1800 rpm which is a sweet spot for some drone, and I have a hard time hearing on the cell phone in that 400 rpm sweet spot.
So, with that said, does anyone have a muffler recommendation that I can put back onto the car that sounds good at wide open throttle and a little bit louder than stock? Not bothersome loud, but a little more than stock, but not a $2500 muffler set either.
Anyone tried Corsa? Borla? Any of those? Any suggestions appreciated......

was '03 E320 - now - '04 S4
If you like the sound now but want to get rid of the resonance perhaps a resonator would do the trick.
I had good luck with Magnaflow mufflers in the past if you decide to have some mufflers welded in.

i agree, if your 55 had a resonator, have it reinstalled and youll be good
