Best sounding exhaust for 2011 g550

What's the best sounding exhaust to add to g550?

Worth it for An amg exhaust, or something like a fabberge (just saw this on YouTube and sounded real meaty)

noob question - I also want a meatier tone on my g500 but what will changing the headers do? DO the headers affect to sound or just performance?

Thank you. i just saw a video on this and also on your exhaust and i love the sound! i would say it is the best sounding exhaust ive hear so far.

This is the video i just watched - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL8OYWH08WM

I have one question? If i choose to do the exhaust only, for now, will it be easy to add your headers down the road? Should i consider getting the headers first and then, later on, add the exhaust?

Thanks

i am not sure if exhaust will bolt on to stock or not. i am not even sure if it will be a direct bolt-on. it should be since it is the same engine. i have a prototype set here if you want, i can get you a deal for the whole setup for this system. it is $4k retail for everything. I can sell you the prototype kit for $3k shipped (within 48 states) if interested.

Know what I did? I had the rear resonator removed and just had some turned down tips installed on the stock mufflers on each side.

Sounds perfect. Throaty down low...nice burble on medium throttle and a howl on full throttle.

No drone on the highway and does not sound like a rig rocket either.

Thank you! Do you still get good gas mileage? I hear that removing the resonator will cause a change in the back pressure which will reduce the vehicles efficiency.

Is this the sound you get?
