Hello guys, I just bought for my CLS500 AMG mufflers. I didn't install them yet. but I want to ask if any one know how to make the sound louder? I think there is something I can remove it so the sound comes louder but I don't know what to remove exactly? Any one know?

You can always buy aftermarket high performance Headers.

Hey,Deef,why would you want your Mercedes to sound like a Honda Civic??? Just wondering....

jimmydagreek

I'm assuming the W211's have a resonator or two, remove it/them and you will have a nice sound or at least my W210 E55 did!

These cars don't sound anything close to a civic or any ricer for that matter. Remove the resonator, add an muffler or an x-pipe and you get a nice and gentle but intimidating growl. I removed the resonator on my W210 E55 and this car should have sounded this way from the factory, perfect!

any sound clips with the resonator removed?

jimmydagreek

Unfortunately no but the car is still in my garage waiting for the truck to take it to its new owner in Boston. I'm pretty savvy with electronics and crap but how and where would I upload a sound clip? I have a Sony MiniDV camcorder that takes a memory stick...

deef

but I asked someone about removing the resonator he said if I remove them I'll face some problems like the check engine light will show up and the car heat will increase! any body have removed the resonator?

deef

Is the resonator are the the catlatyc converters? What is resonator exactly is?

jimmydagreek

The resonators don't have anything to do with the Cats! The Cats are needed for proper emissions. The resonators are sound suppressors from what I understand and just restrict the out pressure. I removed my resonator, replaced it with an X-pipe and passed smog with flying colors and I'm CA! No check engine light, no overheating, no smoke, no smog issues, no problems!

deef

Oh I see, the resonators are in the middle of the exhaust right? between the mufflers and the cats? Where can I get X-pipe?

jimmydagreek

Exactly, it's that big ugly flat canister looking thing before the rear muffler, or at least that's how it is on the W210. Depending on the size (diameter) of the pipes on the W211's, you can probably find one on ebay. That's where I found the one for the W210.

i have a custom magnaflow setup- im running with 2 magnaflow muffler with an x-pipe and eliminated resonator. my car sounds great from the inside and out. ill try and get a sound clip.

jimmydagreek

Perfect, someone with the set up I'm talking about. Magnaflow and Flowmaster both make mufflers for these cars but IMO, especially on the W210 they're a little loud with some interior resonance. I mean the sound is really mean and aggressive and it does sound good but just a little too loud for me. I like just the resonator delete and x-pipe, it's harmony to my ears!

But b_rashed, I'm very curious to hear your set up with the Magnaflow. If you can post a clip and then let me know how you did it so I can post one of my ex-W210 E55 that hasn't been picked up yet. Thanks...

deef

Thank you gays very much for the informations and I will let you know when I install the mufflers

Why do so many have to criticize and judge instead of just answering the questions in a helpful manner? A Honda Civic....? sheeeesshhh.....
