Hey guys and gals,

i’ve come to the forum, perhaps to seek an educated understanding and understanding of the issues specific to the FOLKS who have an ML or a 550 motors from my W164. The exhaust being deleted, as well as the resonator and how CLOSELY related to the AMG sound or any real THROATINESS being achieved by doing both.

currently, both resonators were removed in place now are two 2 1/2” stainless pieces to the tips. Sounds goos. But,.... and that there is no droning, however, I am looking for a more consistent sound across the RPM spectrum and I see that guys who post videos of both the resonator and muffler delete really have a crisp clean crackling sound but I’m just wondering how loud is that in real life and inside the cabin and will it be obnoxious.

I am quite impressed with how the sound is with just the resonator delete but I want to achieve that higher end RPM noise as well as a much crisper cleaner it does seem a little bit muffled almost because obviously that’s what the muffler is for to quiet the engine noises down. I’m quite surprised by the fact that hoinebseesn to report any issues related to doing both! I’m comfortable doing the resonators I’ve just not comfortable taking out the little part of the exhaust that I don’t know it’s about 12 to 14 inches in length and I don’t know if it contains any secondary cats in there or what that piece is if I remove it worst-case scenario as I remove it don’t like the sound I assume I can go back to the same shop and have them put it back in correct ?

and the other I issue however is seems for me is that frankly it’s not clean enough, and my concern is that I would have long-term issues like O2 sensor issues, anything that would go along with doing something like this, and actually giving it a thought first. I.e., if there might be a sudden issue with bacjpressure, and so on, or even the mass airflow trying to adjust without having a muffler on what I can expect those sorts of things or if anything please let me know what your comments videos of your vehicle or pictures of what you’ve done.

Lastly, the pros of doing so. Don’t want to overlook I do have K & N filters in place too.

Just bear in mind I’m not planning to purchase any aftermarket system to do this because I’ve seen enough videos to know that it can be done edit it’s just hard to tell if I should do the muffler delete to sell let me know guys thanks

 

The one and only question, ......... WHY?????

 

lol, why have windows tinted, why do anything to your car? ...

 

Hmmmmm???? Let's think about this, ....
Oh, to keep the UV rays and heat out of the car to protect the interior and keep the car cool, ...... YES!!!!

A louder exhaust, ...... no purpose but to annoy others.

But hey, to each their own!

 

to which the pleasure is mine. But that’s not why I am doing it. It’s funny how when you post a question there is always someone who opines their opinion over the matee to facts. Resonabke for me to make my vehicle sound a certainty way and desire it. I have owned several AMG late models including an e55 with a klieman supercharger that was somewhat quiet too Didn’t care about an exhaust system then.

Mercedes AMG makes their products to reach a certain clientele my ML 550 is not an AMG and having on several in the past I am looking to make my vehicle sound somewhat similar so needless to say I don’t actually have to explain to you why am doing this if you’re annoyed by it too ****ing bad roll up your windows. I’m annoyed by seeing Biden stickers on peoples cars do you hear me complaining about that?

 

Hey, have a good time.

Noone is complaining, simply sharing opinions, what forums are all about. If you can't handle that, don't be part of it.

Might want to get an ML 63, so you have the right exhaust sound.
And then, .......... upgrade your Audio System, so you can't hear the exhaust roar anyhow.

Might have to get myself a Biden Sticker, just for you.

 

this decorum is not tolerable by myself nor people who are able to have access to others’ ideas. And make a choice myself. Not sure if you know this or not but, what you say has nothing to with my question not, to which by the way if prove that you only want to be a distraction, and an idiot, and have nothing else better to do but take apart my choice to do something to my vehicle. And lastly your inability to contribute, anything intelligent here, and if I were you, I’d keep my mouth shu, shows your stupidity. And what I said was maybe I’m annoyed. Not I am. The point is, your asinine opinions I don’t care for so quit commenting and shut up

as far as vehicles go. I would rather not buy one right now. I’ve had one sold it. By far the W1 64 Hass to be my favorite vehicle in the SUV line up although they have made the nomenclature change to the GLE and GLs etc. , and I do really do like those so I may end up buying one but in the meantime I think I’m going to keep my ML 550 and do what I want with it.

So please from now on on this form if you’re going to add something to the conversation speak up and say something if not shut your mouth and Move on.

 

You need to relax a bit, ...... life is too short.

 

see right there it’s the hyperbole coming out of your mouth and almost a touch of sarcasm that annoys people like to no end you’re arrogant.

Have you contributed anything if not why are you still commenting I am chill you’re just annoying the crap out of me dude

 

So here’s an example of what I went. Similar motor in this S class if not same, but he goes AMG from cat to tip likely, idk. Sounds amazing.

thx

 

oh WOW, .......... Awesome!!!!!!! Sorry, ..... AMAZING.

 

yes it’s quite something. I enjoyed our chat. Now it’s time to find ones similar that will fit and work for my M273 engine and sound the same or better!

 

Posting a video here for the straight pipe version after the deleted aforementioned.

Have not found a resonator that I think would provide that AMG sound but it may be a combo that is out therr and haven’t come across yet.

Sidenote* anyone notice the delay or lag when pulling out of first? Seems like it never happens that way normally. Oh well.

 

2011 ml 550 ... i deleted the resonators first ... could barly notice anything... deleted the mufflers .. and wow

Its very load at full thottle ( a little raspy around 5k + rpm). but for normal driving sounds amazing

what would u guys recomend for a little more power ?
i feel top end coz use some more pep
