Any exhaust clips of 63 w/ no cats and different exhausts?

I have an 18 GLE63 and no cats + stock exhaust + tune. It sounds good, but not awesome. Wondering if anyone did anything different to change the note. There's a little bit of drone/ harmonics /exhaust ping at lower rpm + low load I'd like to clear up. Volume isn't bad, but I wouldn't mind slightly lower either. Definitely don't want louder.

Any video with no cats or resonator (or pictures of what's inside the resonator) would be helpful.

FWIW, I'm looking at adding two high flow mufflers and an X pipe right before the rear axle.

Previous owner of mine had tune done and went with 3in catless downpipes and removed the resonator. She is a bit on the loud side, loud enough that I am actually looking at valved exhaust to quiet it down. Cruising speed isn't too bad but if I get on it its loud inside. I am looking into a full 3in system with high flow cats, resonators and valved mufflers.
I have attached clips of cold start and getting on it from inside the cabin.

Thank you!

fyi, every valved exhaust I looked into is louder with the valves closed than stock.

I think high flow cats with stock exhaust is what I’d do if I had it to do again.
