Resonator delete on 450/500/550 (V8 engine)

Hey guys, one simple question.

Has anyone tried resonator delete on stock S450/500/550? I don't mean the whole exhaust replace, but just deleting the resonators on the models with AMG package. I've tried searching, but all I found was stuff with S65 exhaust and that's not what I'm looking for. Also, maybe resonator delete isn't enough and for that really aggressive sound secondary cats should be removed too?

Big thanks.

The thing is, I'm not interested in spending 2000 euros for new muffler, that's why I'm asking about the resonators, because removing them is much, much cheaper - I think around 100 euros?
