Not to seem like a ricer but i just want a better sound on acceleration, so i was thinking would a xpipe make noticeable difference? what should i do for a better quality sound, resonator/muffler delete with straight pipe? xpipe etc?

Would this mess up the fuel economy or mess up drive in anyway? and how bad would the drone be for people that have already done this?

Thanks in advance for any advise!

If you care that much about how your car sounds do it right and buy a V8. Most mods to v6 exhaust sound like crap. Better to leave it the way it is.

You can find videos on youtube of people who did a muffler delete, doesn't actually sound bad.

Thanks for the links, they don't sound bad at all in my opinion !

Ive seen some that have a pretty good sound, like you said there are some that sound horrible.

I grew up in the muscle car era. That is my standard as to what sounds good.

However I do have to admit that a properly tuned v6 exhaust can sound good.
Here is an example

If you can make your mercedes E350 sound like that more power to you

There was a guy on this board who had a modified exhaust on his W221 S600 it was off the charts good.

Nothing is worse than the braaaaap noise. That's all I hear in those videos.

I agree thats why God made V8's

If you are talking about the Camaro It is special exhaust that you can turn off the racket. Something you won't be able to do with a muffler delete.

V6's are like children, Best seen and not heard
