V6 engines usually sound like crap--I'd leave it as it is. i.e. the quieter the better.

Here you are of course, trying to make the world's most sophisticated diesel engine sound like a Dodge Cummins pickup. No accounting for taste, is there?

Technically speaking, your exhaust is going to continue to have to pass through the cat converter and the particulate filter in order to remain legal and for your car to remain under warranty. Not much "noise" left after that, I imagine.

Whatever you do, "upgrade" won't be the correct description.

Chris,
I respect your opinions many times, but how about the sound coming from an Infinity FX 35 ?
Can we have something similar with our Ml 350 ?

I did not mean such a dramatical change!Legal matters in europe,there are'nt such.The other day I heart a nice sound coming out of an RR 2.7 sport which is 6cyl,not to mention the 3.6 RR witch the sound is pure pleasure on its own,but again is an 8 cyl.

to have a nice sound all you need to do is replace the "midle muffler" / resanator
