Exhaust on my w211 e500

Well after some trial and error, I have finally gotten my exhaust to sound very nice and I love the set up. Just thought I would share with everyone. I removed the resonators and mufflers on my car. Replaced the resonators with a magnaflo muffler (put it in the same spot) and the quad tips. Car sounds very mean and clean. Will try to post up a sound clip later today.

your set up should be like this:

Headers------Cats--------Resonator---------Mufflers------Tips

So basically you have 3 mufflers on the car now? lol
