F*** Mufflers

Yesterday, I removed the resonators, and it doesnt sound any louder on the ML for some reason
So, today I am having the mufflers removed and straight pipe going in . Sound clip to follow soon...

It should hopefully be done by 3:30 or so. I wasnt as lucky as you with the resonator delete. It just sounded the same. .. With no mufflers, it should sound like a monster.. Im hoping.. Ill be here all day if you want to swing by.

Thanks.
I have the charcoal filters removed.
I wouldnt give Kleemann or Renntech a penny ( they are waaaay overpriced for a piece of metal). My buddy is going to make me some custom headers soon. It should add quite a bit of gains.

I straightpiped my CLK500. I could only imagine on a 63. That thing must make deaf ears open.

But yes, its definitely too loud and abnoxious. But thats why I got a valve that closes when I get bored showing off.
