SL65 Resonator delete, Nice!

Best bang for the buck ever. $90.00 at the local muffler shop. Should have done this a long time ago.

Sorry if the below link is not the way to post a video. First time posting one.

VERYYYY NICE, I have done this on my SL55 a week ago, and yes, I'm also very excited.

Now you will be in love way more with the gas pedal so you hear the good sound.

If you can record a pass by video, it will be perfect.

Nice. I got my car with no resonators and no mufflers. I have cats only. It should have come from the factory like this. Sounds perfect....

The SL65 comes with resonators? You sure?

SL600 only comes with 2 beer keg cats and mufflers. 55 comes with resonators, didn't think the 65 did....

It was really for the OP, not you.

Just giving him a hard time. He probably meant a muffler delete, not res delete.

And yes. Absolutely, mine sounds so much better too!

If you plan on doing gutting the cats or doing downpipes, the car will even be louder and will drone in the cabin a bit, so if you don't want that to happen you may either have to put hi-flow mufflers back on.

Sometimes I like the sound and sometimes it give's me a headache, If you want the best of both, hi-flow mufflers and dual electric exhaust cutouts, that way you can control when you want it loud or not, worth the extra dough IMO when I did it
