M157 and M278 engine note

ok, we have a 2016 E550 Cab and a 2012 AMG ML63...

We Love the sound of the ML63.... quiet on the highway but wakes up when you accelerate even calmly....


How do we get the E550 to sound like this ? frankly my wife stopped driving the E550 almost completely because she likes the AMG so much.... and I'd like my car back!


I've read a tons of articles on removing the resonators for the E550 M278.... does it sound like the ML63 when this is done ?


Wondering if anyone has 2 cars with these motors and can give me some first hand comments.


Do we need to put an AMG muffler from say a C63 coupe in it ?


Thanks in advance

Mike

Thanks for the reply, I'm hoping someone with both motors can tell me if that alone will give the AMG sound we are looking for....

Thanks
