sounds great!:y

THIS IS HOW MY CAR SOUNDS LIKE LOL I HAVE THE SAME CAR WITH STRAIGHT PIPED RESONATORS...BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A WHOLE LOT LOUDER WHEN YOU ARE NEAR BY THE CAR

Are you guys still happy with the sound after a few weeks or days of having it? Not too loud?

It's been over month since I have put in the straight pipes. Still love the sound, and I'm actually looking at getting headers and/or aftermarket muffler to get it louder.

Sounds gr8!

I've been wanting to do this to mine for a while now. I think I might have to if it sounds that good. :y

Same here, I like how loud it is but it still is a bit quiet at times. Thinking of straight piping the cats next.

More noise definitely fits the character of the SL55. Sounds great!

which resonators were removed?

I've been considering also removing the back boxes and running straight pipes witht eh AMG tips wleded on.

Anyone have some advice.. Are there any good kits out there or is it all custom?

Sounds great but I think you knew it would based on others having done the same thing.

I love that you came back to get your camera in the first vid j/k :):)

There are 2 resonators, they are the ones being cut out in this picture.

Yeah playin it safe, just wanted it a bit louder for now and mission accomplished:D


Getting my camera was creepy as hell, couldn't quite remember where I left it since it was so dark. It was like 3 in the morning and behind the camera it was pitch black with a bunch of bushes and a ravine.

Thanks for posting those photos for me..

Im trading out my 55 for a newer one or posibly a 65 in a month or so and Ill chop them out as well :)

Also I take it this mod wont throw up any error codes?

I myself have trouble finding that sound racey. (Sorry.)
Allthough in this case, much better than stock!
But to me, it still just SOUNDS too low rev to be connected to a tuned engine.
I know it revs towards 6000, but it sure sounds like 2000!:X

Didn't the World War II fighter aircraft "Messerschmitt" sound exactly like that..?!!:rolleyes:

Wow nice vids, how much was the cost to do this and can you re-weld resonators if you want to go back to stock?

Yes, that's no problem at all.

And no, no error codes pop up.

Reminds me of SL63...sounds great!

No worries, replaced it with this...:D

WOW!!!, your M6 really sounds nasty, I like it a lot!!!:zoom:

Now that's a sound I like!:y
M5's and M6's do sound great, in my opinon..!
Especially with an exaust from Kellener.

Rumor has it, that they come with a stick shift (manual gearbox) in the US!
Is that true..?
Many people would prefer that here, instead of the SMG! But we don't have that option...

Sounds Great!!!! I have been told that there are sensors that have to be dealt with so the "Check Engine" light does not come on. Is that true. I have been waiting for someone to do this and post it because I am seriously considering having this done.

Just a dumb questions , does the resonators also applies to the SL500 AND SL600 , wonder how it would make my SL500 sounds like , also SL600:confused: ? Do they have resonators too ?

It comes in stick and SMG here, pretty sure it comes in stick in europe as well..:confused:

I had an SL500 as well, it has no resonator so I straight piped the muffler. It was loud, very loud...maybe too loud:nix:
