Depending how loud you want it , simply replace the resonator or both the muffler and resonator with straight pipe .

For performance mods the most noticeable change is using a Sprint Booster. These don't make your car any more powerful but it will Feel much more powerful and give a seat of the pants difference you can feel as it opens the throttle more

anything else won't give you any noticeable seat of the pants difference . A tune, KN air intake etc will only give 20-30hp combined and no real difference in feel in a s430

only the supercharged s55 and turbo s600 get a noticeable different feel from a tune as boost is increased

The cheapest, easiest, way to add performance to your car is to sell it and buy an S55 AMG or an S600.

I'm serious...

There isn't a good way to add power to your V-8. With the high-performance cars available for under $10K now, just get one of those...
