Hey guys I'm looking for and exhaust system, I want the loudest thing out there Its for a W212 E class any help or ideas?
thanks

belarus27

cut your mufflers
put a straight pipe or x pipe
combined , louder than any system available from my experience.

edit- its the best for v8 models tho , im not sure about v6 , just like 2 ppl confirmed below

jonUF02

^^^ Yep, that's what people are doing when they want a super loud annoying exhaust. No matter what, a V6 never sounds right when it's loud anyway. Don't even bother until you upgrade to a V8.

its a V6, it wont sound loud and right at the same time. loud like a lawnmower probably.

Meisterschaft GTC exhaust, it'll only set you back $3k :B

Video is on an E350, don't be fooled by the exhaust tips.

Want cheap? Lots of imitations that can potentially sound like this. That trumpet sound is pretty close to Resonator delete (Straight/H-pipe for added volume) and Elite mufflers, or even straight through race mufflers.

thats awful.

I too would love for my six banger to sound like a bi-turbo 8...but it won't happen. I could spend $15K on aftermarket exhaust components and it still wouldn't happen. That video is obnoxious...to each their own I guess.

is that yours bro?
that sounds great compared to the lawnmower in steroids from the other video.

That's an E550 though, OP has an E350

5.5NA or the 4.7 bi-turbo? I had muffler delete on my 2007 S550, it was insanely louder than the one in the link.

belarus27

yep , mine , been driving like this for almost 3 years lol
and thank you

belarus27

its a 5,5 NA , interesting , cuz the engines are the same so i would assume it would sound the same

beejAMG

and i think we made it clear for OP to leave it alone as it would sound more like a honda civic ricer even with good quality mufflers. a V6 can only do so much. that 350 video reminded me of my neighbour on a saturday morning mowing his lawn.

anyways, until i see another post/reply from OP...1 hit wonder. time to move on.

belarus27

LOOOOL
that comparison tho

I think from your other thread, you still have your resonators on, correct?

belarus27

YES
i tried both ways actually
1. no mufflers with resonators - current
2. no mufflers , and x pipe which was a bit louder , and i didnt like it too much

Uda880

That's probably the best way to go. I tried some combinations too, and I think my next iteration is to do your's, as the sound is fine for now, but I prefer the aggressive growl that your's has.

My combos:

1. Resonator Delete w/ straight pipe
2. X-pipe with Magnaflow mufflers
3. Stock Resonators with Magnaflow mufflers
4. Straight pipe with Magnaflow mufflers (current, the sound is OK for now)

belarus27

you have a video? how are those magnaflow mufflers?

Uda880

Videos are in my review/progress thread. I've yet to make one with the Straight Pipe (Resonator delete) + Magnaflows, but will be doing that this weekend.

I used Magnaflow Model #11226, which is the 14" (loudest of the selection), and mounted with a slight tilt to fit into the muffler heat screens. Looks great, and with the straight pipe, it's at just the right amount of volume, with a very deep bass rumble. I would say that the only difference between the resonator pipes are:

1. X-Pipe: High pitched, smooth sounding exhaust. Quietest of the bunch, with a very exotic sound.
2. H-Pipe: Good midrange solution that has middling exhaust volume, better flow, and maintains some of the rumble/raw sound.
3. Straight Pipe: Loudest of the bunch, this creates the typical muscle car rumble (due to uneven exhaust flows), and creates vibrations/pulses in the exhaust. Has the most "character" and sounds most raw/mean, but also is the least efficient in exhaust flow design.

belarus27

dang bro , thank you for the info , i was thinking bout MagnaFlow , but im pretty satisfied with what i have so no need for that. cheap and satisfying.

I used to have a resonator delete and magnaflow mufflers, the idle had a really bad putt putt sound. I wouldn't recommend it if you really care about those kind of things. I have an x-pipe and some different mufflers now, sounds much better.
