Aftermarket exhaust

Hi all, I'm about to order a GLS450 with the AMG appearance package and I'm really excited about it. One thing I'm not excited about is the relatively quiet exhaust. Anyone, know of an aftermarket option or maybe have experience adding valves?

Why? If there is one thing I like about my GLS is that it is a very quiet vehicle.

I've got a CLS63 now and it's quiet too, but I do love to hear the exhaust when I open it up.

Try posting in the AMG thread.
I am sure they would have some good ideas for aftermarket exhausts.

You can remove everything from the cats going back for more sound. Start with removing the resonators and then, if that's not enough, remove the rear mufflers too. The faster the exhaust in a turbocharged vehicle with the least restrictions can exit the system the better.
