SL 65 Black sound on SL65

Any idea how we can reach a similar sound to the Black Series 65 on the std 65?
Suggestions:
Take the rear mufflers out?
Take the the center resonators off?

Cut off Mufflers, run 3" straight pipe to tips, sounds nearly identical... SL65/600 don't have resonators only Primary cats & mufflers.

How many PSI of boost did you lose after removing the muffler? I've heard around a 2psi loss.

I think you will find that removing parts of the exhaust will increase the
boost, unless the ecu corrects it.

Wrong again stick to the SL63 krap, your posts are detrimental to newbies & the uninformed...

Boost actually goes down after muffler removal, measured on Dyno lost about 1.5 PSI

Good call contigo...I responded to your question in my build thread (I think)... glad you made the plunge. Agree 110% this is how they should have come from the factory.

Explain to me please why pressure will fall, if delete mufflers
After all on resistance of gases on an exit less, means more energy for promotion of turbines, isn't it
Thnx

You'll lose approx 1.5 to 2 psi of boost. Ask a professional tuner.
