Wow.

The title says "full original exhaust" but this system is anything but original. It looks like he is running a S600 bi-turbo with headers, one cat (center section) and 4 small mufflers.

Does anyone know where you can get this system?

Can you achieve this sound by using the stock headers with full open exhaust? I have my doubts and think the headers must play a big role because an SL600 with no mufflers sounds very different per this youtube video:

sounds like an F1 car. I like it.


scratch that... i love it.


Where do you see the 4 small mufflers? All I see is aftermarket headers, one center cat (maybe huge resonator) and straight pipe all the way to muffler tips.

Your first link is not a V12 Biturbo, it's the older M137 V12 naturally aspirated, found in the Pre-2003 600 cars.

The second link is an M275 V12 Biturbo, with a muffler delete. Very common amongst us V12TT owners.

OUTCAST

That sounds great!

Sounds right for the header and outlet exhaust configuration.
An absolute given for a N/A W215/W220 V12 motor. (pre-03 facelift motor)

I must say she sounds "Incredible"

I don't know which ones sounds better!!!

The first one definitely sounds like an F1 car and the second one sounds like a muscle car.

I don't think I would want to sound like an F1 all the time but I would love to see the looks on peoples faces when you do a nice little fly by at 5000 RPM

my SL65 is just way too quiet. both of those sound fabulous, do like that higher pitched whine....

Rick SL55

WoW it really sound nice..

Doh! I had assumed the S600 was a twin turbo. You are absolutely right! It's an older naturally aspirated V12.

I really prefer the sound of the NA V12....but I prefer the power of the twin turbo V12.

Sounds incredible for a street car BUT i bet after 6 months the owner reverts to a different system. there is no way someone could put up with that in a daily driver. I got sick of it after watching for 60seconds and i am sure any passengers would too

If you think you cannot drive with the exhaust that loud all of the time, try the method I am putting in place..... I am having my S600 exhaust redone by removing the primary cats, running complete dual pipes to the DMH electronic exhaust cutouts, then to stock resonators and then stock mufflers. (http://www.dmhperformance.com/)
Quiet when I want because the exhaust will still run through stock resonators and mufflers, but loud when I electronically open the cutouts.
The more I read say place the cutouts as far away from the exhaust manifolds as possible.
Here is Benzorama's ridiculous sounding SL600. This is the sound many of us are looking for... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqKECRhvlf4

Hi i have already have remote controlled cutouts on my C63 but would love to try this out on my SL63, can you keep us updated on how they perform??

Vabene7

I will definitely keep you posted on the modification, operation of the DMH cutouts and overall results.
The car is going in on Monday, 7/22 for the mod.

I cannot wait to hear this thing scream a bit.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

It sounds like a Ferrari.. The nat *** will be louder without turbo's.
It sounds great, but it looks like the guy is keeping in a low gear and going
slow, I would have preferred he got into some clear road and went up
through the gears to cruising level, as I'm not sure I could live with it on a
long journey. Ice cream is great, but eat too much will make you sick.
