Question removing resonator on E320
Hi All,

Just been reading a few posts about the removal of the resonator and everyone seems positive about it but was wondering would it make any difference to an e320 with factory fitted amg exhaust system or should i just leave it as it is. Thanks.

It will be a lot louder, and you might loose some bottom end torque because of back pressure being reduced.

Has anyone on an e320 or e350 had this done and what affects did you have. Was there any issue with the back pressure?

mpx220 removed the resonator on his E350 with AMG quad exhaust. Sounds great!

How much does it cost?? Would the dealer find out if I returned the car from a lease?

When you remove the resonator do you just put in a straight pipe or is there anything in particular you put in place?

sef, check out the W211 AMG forum. They seem to mod their exhausts a lot more than we do!
