W211 Exhaust Cutout Valves
Hello! Recently i've installed on my w211 an exhaust cutout before the mufflers, and since I have 2 tubes, the valve system is only on the one side and it's not as loud as I expected. I want it to be more loud and to sound more raspy (kind of like the e55 amg sound with no resonators and cats) because now my sound is just bassy not like a rattle can. Is it possible to remove the resonator or do any other modifications while keeping the cutout valves?
I want similar sound to this :
Right now my sound is this :
(it sounds worse than that but with that tone)

If you want it louder, than you need to remove all that can be a restriction. Essentially straight piping it. But the characteristic of the sound is made by the engine (amount of cilinders) and firing order if I am not mistaken (simply put).

i removed the rear mufflers under the 1/4s and replaced them with straight pipe to the rear bumper.
to me it sounds perfect.
mild growl, quite, you can hear it if its WOT and its not neighbor enjoying at all
