E550, AMG mufflers, resonators delete, x pipe.
 
ok, stock E550 exhaust was just way too quiet for me.
replaced the stock mufflers with AMG 55 mufflers and removed the resonators(replaced them with X-pipe)

finally got the sound i was looking for. just loud enough for me!

would like to get some opinions.

i am not sure if it is louder than E55 or E63 stock exhaust sound, but i wasnt looking to make it louder than those cars.

Sounds good to me :zoom:

Sounds good! I just deleted my resonator yesterday and went with straight pipes instead of an x-pipe.

E500 AMG Sport 02-22-2008 12:25 PM
Wait a second, you said you put E55 mufflers on your car? I only see one tip per side. It appears you have the AMG sport package mufflers.
Regardless, it sounds great!
You only took out the resonator and replaced it with an X-pipe? You didn't remove the secondary Cats did you?
What about interior drone?

Benz-O-Rama 02-22-2008 12:26 PM
Sounds great but I thought the E55 OEM exhaust had dual tips? Mine do. :nix:

mmmm that sounds pretty good

yeah, amg55 mufflers, but i kept my stock AMG pkg tips. I didnt really want to make it look like e55 from the back. u know what i mean...plus i didnt want to cut the bumper.

and, yeah just res deleted and replaced them with x-pipe.
cats? i really dont wanna mess with those.

drone? well i am very sensitive to interior drone. this one i can take though.
that is why i did not want it to be louder than e55 stock exhaust.

I haven't been able to tell yet.

Yours sounds very similar to my E55 after I removed the resonator and secondary cats and put in an x-pipe. It is definitely louder than a stock 55.

Mine seems to get louder after the car warms up. The only droning that I've had was on a 3-4 hour road trip with sustained speeds of 120-155 for extended periods. The noise became somewhat unbearable at anything over 95 about 2 hours into the trip. It's never been that loud since.

I also felt that I lost just a little bottom end grunt.

Great sound:y. from where did you get the X-pipe? I'm searching for one for my CLS500 because I just bought AMG mufflers:nix:

jimmydagreek 02-27-2008 05:32 PM
This was mentioned on another thread about the x-pipe. Although it works well on the W210 because there is no cross-over, don't the stock dual pipes cross over already and installing an x-pipe would not gain anything??? Please elaborate because I thought of the x-pipe on the E500 and was told that the pipes already cross over. The recommendations were to just remove the resonators and run straight pipes...:confused:

well, the stock resonator do look somewhat like x pipe design.
but with new x-pipe, (with the diameter being slightly larger) the exhaust tone changed dramatically, thats for sure.
now, did i gain any power? i cant really tell the difference.

however, i have changed my resonator for an H pipe before (without touching the cats), and i have lost a lot of power down low. so i put stock res back the same day. i imagine the straight pipes would be even worse due to loosing a lot of back pressure.

correct me if i am wrong.

mainly i was looking for the right exhaust tone, didnt care much for the gains. (as long as i didnt loose any power)

I see but I'd like gains as well as a nice deep tone because these cars aren't as beastly as my previous W210 E55. If I can achieve a bit more power and response with minimal mods then I'm happy.

I wonder if anyone has installed a Sprint Booster on these E500's, but I guess that's a topic for another thread or I'll do a search as see what I come up with.

Thanks for the info...

Did or do you have the 321 AMG Sports Package on your E550?

Just curious because I do, and I'm fairly satisfied with the exhaust tone of the car.

yes, i do have the AMG pkg. but my stock exhaust tone wasnt enought for me.

Your E550 sounds mean man!!!!!! How much did you pay for all that? I leased my 2008 E550, will the dealership or MB charge me when i return the car? Do they even check the bottom of the car?

thanks...
600 for the AMG mufflers with installation.
500 for the x pipe and res removal.

i did not do it in one day. thats why i had to pay for labor twise. otherwise, it would have cost me under 1k.

i bought my car. i honestly do not know about anything about lease return. never leased a car.

Vik888 03-14-2008 02:48 AM
You will have to return your leased car in the original condition you received it.

Vik888 03-14-2008 02:51 AM
What if you had just changed to AMG muffers and not done the x pipe and res removal. Would that give just a slightly better sound that stock?

If you're ever in OC, I'd love to hear your car in person :)

oh,,,AMG mufflers def give a better sound over stock. cuz stock was simply silent in my opinion(engine noise overtakes exahust noise, now that is with mercedes quietness :))

i drove with just AMG mufflers for a couple of weeks and decided that it was still not enough)

i am not sure if i am planning to get to OC any time soon, but if i will i will let you know. or if your r comming to la, let me know. :y
