Honestly the MB mufflers on the S class are really beefy and block a lot of sound. I had the resonators and secondary cats deleted, plus a custom stainless X-Pipe on my M273 S550 W221 and it isn't very loud at all. Yes there's a sight rumble on start up and on 1/2 throttle or more, but 99% of people that hear it would think it's stock. I would imagine the 222 with the M278 would be even quieter due to the turbos. Deleting the secondary cats and having an X pipe or H pipe (what many of the factory AMGs have from what the shop told me) should help get a slightly louder and deeper note. From the videos I saw, doing nothing but straight pipes (instead of the h/x pipe) causes it to sound like it's sputtering.

Exclamation W222 Muffler Delete (2014+ Mercedes-Benz S550)

Did it improve the sound and also how do you unplug or remove the valve actuator connector to try out the sound?
Hey NoClassBenz, I made a recent video covering the muffler delete and video footage of the sound. I also took off the electronic valves and had no issues afterwards.
