SL63 exhaust
I was at a tuners yesterday, they had just fitted a supercharger to a R8, with an exhaust system. When it started I was amazed, it sounded like
thunder, a very loud deep gurgle, magnificent. When I got back in my 63 it sounded tame.
So I have seen many members talking about taking resonators off, but I'm sure I have not seen one for the SL63, never thought I would need it.
So anybody done a 63, a vid with sound would be good, or just what you did.
At a count of about 5 SL63 owners on the Forum I think my chances are very slim.

this means the resale value is going to be great! (don't hold your breath)
the exhaust sound on the sl63 is awesome. i find it impressive that someone would be willing to tinker with it. if it can be improved, count me in for a mod!

How is it inside, have you noticed any more power.
I don't want to change the whole exhaust in case it sounds different, besides
removal sounds cheaper Lol.

So as not to take of the wrong thing, counting boxes from the front, which are the resonators, I'm going to do them first.

subscribing to the thread, and sorry i am one of those who really like the factory setup. met a fellow SL63 in HK with resonator delete and he sounded really too agressive.

SLS, S63, SL63, GL550, S550. Priors: SL55, S500, S550 "other" brands...F430, 612 Scag, 599 GTB,etc
Owner here also, but am pretty happy with stock setup. Have considered the long tube headers but have passed so far since it puts warranty in question for future repairs, etc.

Im going to go do it today, at worst I'll be out $500 (take off and to reinstall if I hate it). I'll get a video clip of inside and outside pre and post removal. I will be taking PAYPAL donations for those who want to get the video.....LOL.

Ok, did it.. Videos as soon as I can figure out how to get it off my phone and on youtube. Here the general so far. NO DRONE..Where before it would purr, now it GROWLS.. Imagine a American V8 muscle car. Its got that kind of grunt and gurrgle (reminds me of a viper).
Personally I am on the fence about it, I mean really if I wanted a Viper I would have bought a viper. It has kind of lost its refinement. I was next to a Porsche C4S and I gunned it, woke him up and he gave chase, so it has more sports cache, but is that what I bought THIS car for?
