And I know people is going to ask for a sound clip. So here I added one.

Here's a few pics of my new exhaust set up. Sound is perfect. IMO

•Both resonators deleted.
•replaced with 2 1/4 stainless steel pipes.
•X-pipe(magnaflow)was put where the front resonators were originally.
•Oem mufflers were also replaced with SS mufflers.
•Tips are facelift AMG.

Sick! Bro you stepped the game up a whole other level. Sick!

ULJets

In my opinion thats how they should sound from the factory...nice job!

phatisfy

I agree! It sounds aggressive when you give it full throttle. But reasonably quite just like any luxury car at normal driving.

ULJets

What SS mufflers did you use?

phatisfy

I'm not sure. My local exhaust shop installed them. And all I seen on the box was "Free-flow SS muffler"?

ULJets

Thanks. My muffler delete is starting to sound too loud from idle - 1,400RPM's in CA traffic...might have to put some mufflers on again.

phatisfy

Installing an X-pipe will lower down the sound. Should take a look into that b4 you put the mufflers back on?

Got some clips of your muffler delete? I can't make my mind what to do - delete the resonators or only mufflers...

ULJets

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definately try the X-pipe route before putting mufflers back on. Btw love the Flat-Black grill, looks awesome with the white paint.
Will try to record a sound clip and post tomorrow in another thread, don't want to hijack Phatisfy's thread here.

phatisfy

You can just post it here. That way members can find it earlier,incase they want to use it for future references. I don't mind.

I just installed my Lorinser today, the result just like someone told me before, not loud enought (50% I expected) . so I think need to do something with X pipe like you did, but I don't know does it work with lorinser silencer ???



This is my Friend's w221, what he did just bought a S65 AMG muffler which used , lucky him because very hard to find a used one.

phatisfy

It won't be much louder with the x-pipe. If you want it louder. There's a few ways.

Remove all resonators and do a straight pipe like my set up. Or remove the "H" shape resonator near the muffler. And if that's not still enough. Do a straight pipe with x-pipe and remove the mufflers. Or just remove the mufflers and leave everything as is?

phatisfy

By the way. If you listen closely at the end of the rev. There's a weird fluttering sound. I had the exact same issue. And to get rid of that. An X-pipe will solve that problem.

Here's what a stock S600 without mufflers sounds like:

LOVE the grill..Want that..What is plasti-dip??

phatisfy

It's in a spray can. All you do is spray it on and it's easy to remove if you decide to take it off later. Search YouTube "plasti dip" and you see many videos on the product in action.

KVL

I search on Ebay and have many diff X - Pipe ... so which one I should choose to make sound like S65 AMG ???

I have this one... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...d=261001147977

KVL

thank U so much, I already order one like yours

you better only change rear oem mufflers, put just good resonators there ($150 for each) and put tips on them. than add arch pipe (actually it will be H-pipe) between two main pipes after cats, like all AMG exhaust systems have. you will have real muscle exhaust with v8 mercedes engine. leave x-pipe for subaru or lancer.

its e55 or cls55 amg exhaust system on pic, do like here. my wifes cl550 sounds like 65 without expensive and stupid 65 mufflers etc.

phat: did you lose power/torque? i took out the stock h pipe and i noticed that i lost power...

phatisfy

No. I feel the car is more responsive?
