I dont own calipers....didn't realize that's something everyone carries. It shouldn't be a difficult question to answer for those who have already modified there exhaust. If you don't like the question move tf on.

Seriously kid you don't own a set of calipers and yet you want everyone to feed you the answers you are too lazy to find out for yourself. Just another troll in a beater..

This is a forum. People ask questions.
Maybe you could point a source for help, if you don't know the answer.

2021 GLE63s SUV

Driving in normal mode the car just sounds meaner but not loud. It's just slight louder than stock when cruising. However, when you get on the throttle, it has a wonderful deep growl. The exhaust pops are also so much more obvious. I'm so glad I did it and did not wait.
Just got back from cutting mine off and the car pops and bangs like crazy. I was scared to do it based on that one guy in this thread that went into limp mode, but all you have to do is not touch the valve actuators unless you have the renntech passthrough mod installed. Cost me $200, but I didn’t try to haggle with the guy or shop around.

I took some high-ish quality recordings of the before and after with sound. I’ll post them later this week!

I just got my muffler delete, and I’m not sure why no one does it this way (photos described). I can still have the valve flap functioning as u can see…(keep your existing valve pipe and ADD A DUAL V PIPE ADAPTOR)…

That setup is amazing.

Somebody try this on a 2024 + model year. And report back.
