Muffler delete on 2013 e350 OR xpipe?
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.

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.

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
