07 SL65 Exhaust options?

Hi, i have a 07 SL65 and i want to give it a more v12 sound. Renntch 2500 dollar mufflers seem like a rape job to me. Has anyone here replaced mufflers etc and recommend any? I did it to my 1999 sl600 V12 but more cautious with this car.

Thanks
Bill

I did a full custom 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust with v bands after the cats, mid section, and exhaust cutouts so I could swap from cats/no cats, x,h, or straight pipe, and high flow mufflers/no mufflers. If your gonna spend 2500 you can pretty much get a whole custom exhaust done.

65s dont have secondary cats and resonators, thats why a muffler delete is enough for 600/65 for most people to give it a louder sound

Someone on here spoke about their Meisterschaft exhaust, that they love it. Looks like they have a few different options too.

Others on here just cut off the mufflers and seem happy. Youtube has a few videos.

Me? I just hit the gas more to make the exhaust sound louder

Downpipes, resonator delete and 200cell cats worked for me.

The exhaust setup is the same. I would imagine it would be about the same. Maybe a little less growl as the 600 has a 5.5L engine.

Hello.
I have muffler delete and the sound is great... not to low and not to high....
But now I want something else.... so I order following new mufflers...

I'm looking for more fuller sound... now the sound is at my opinion raw.
So we will see if this setup of straight mufflers help...
