I've got a burble tune on my car but I'm thinking to increase the volume of the pop/burble/crackle.
I'm planning on deleting my resonators but definitely something that has crossover,
which is going to be either X or H pipe.

Is there any loudness difference in those two? and
Would one produce more pop/burble/cracking volume than the other? (H or X)

Why don't you try both, then let us all know which one is better??? Then we'll all know!

There's several here wanting to spend hundreds/thousands to make the W212 ride quietly.

Then, there are others...

I think KEY08 might be right...

Lol
I saw you wanting to respond so badly in that thread!

The hell is a burble tune? Just for sound?

DFWdude

Yea, sometimes I can exercise restraint. Or Maybe KEY08 said it all, so I couldn"t add much.

DFWdude

While driving down the road, you do this...


or this shorter version...

For sure, I’m getting the H pipe in few weeks and gonna post a video since there are so many X pipe videos out there id give it a try on H !

Those are what ‘burble’ sounds like when u let go of the gas

Idek how people have complaints there are noises in their w212, must be hitting every pothole they see as for fun ? lol

my car for some reason is kept in mint condition there are literally NO squeaky or any noises whatsoever

trying to add more sporty-ness on the car I guess I’m showing my young age !

DFWdude

You drive a two-ton, 4-door luxury sedan with marginally sporty pretensions.

There are hundreds of lighter, more nimble autos that fit the sporty description far better. Just sayin.

nota_amg

yeah, but that noise is intoxicating!!! I mean, I wouldn't do it...you know, because I LIKE my turbos, but it does sound "cool", as the kids say!

One person's noise is another person's music. To each his own.
I run a week long 1000 mile drive every year for Audi TT owners every year. In the past 2 years we've had a few cars show up with the gurgle-pop tune. It seems to be the "in" thing that has no effect on performance - just sound effects. It's pretty annoying to most everyone else in the driving line. Most people don't mind a louder tuned exhaust but the gurgle-pop is like driving near a continuous explosion of firecrackers. So we put them at the end of the line.
We have a lot of folks who tune their cars on the TT forums I frequent. IMO, the E-series is an excellent cruiser - not a tuning candidate for sports car performance. But again, to each his own.
