I had my resonator cut off last week and the sounds is great at low speed. Around 3 to 4 thousands rpm it sounds like a mustang crossed breed with a harley. I loved it.

But, at full throttle, it seem like it's not quite as agressive as the car's sounds when the resonator was still on. I mean, when you have the resonator on, at full throtle, the car have this huge WHOOMP wall of sounds. Now ith out the resonator, it sounds like a steady built of RAAHHHGG sounds. Have you noticed this? Or is it that I'm so use to the loudness of the sounds now (with out resonator) at lower speed that when it does kick in at full throtle, I'm sort of desensitized?

I was just custom the dual exhaust on my CLK 320 but I havent remove the resonator yet...so should I ? I mean I love the way it sound right now...just like u said when I start the engine sounds like Whoomp but dont know what happen after I remove the resonator.

I personally love how it sounds at WOT without my res... im going to remove my post cat when i get home even to give it more of a growl!

IIIMBPIII

Remove it and never look back!

M-bENZ

I would like to hear your so do you have any clip for your car??

IIIMBPIII

Its a really bad movie mad with an even worse camera its a lot better sounding in person people stare whenever I drive by and i get compliments on it all the time. I just found out that there are no O2 sensors by the post cat that thing is as good as gone once I get back from NY.

I cant wait to get my x-pipe installed and put in my electronic cutouts...it's gonna sound badass

alroumi

Its going to sound loud at coldstart, idle not so much but still an improvment over the oem.

Sounds great, I'd already ordered the Magnaflow X-Pipe to replace the resonator, and all I need now is the car so I can get more rumble out of it, hate the wait!!!!

CPD SLK

I disagree. I've heard clip with just the x-pipe swapped for the resonator and it's noticealy louder..with the cutouts....it's gonna sound mean. Just wait and see!

alroumi

I've got the setup for a year now, take my word for it.

CPD SLK

I thought your set up was just the supersprint xpipe, kleeman primaries and that's it??? You have cutouts as well?

alroumi

No cutouts but its loud, I've got the headers from Kleemann which will be installed tomorow hopefully. I assume it will sound marginally louder since the primary cats will be deleted in stead of new downpipes if I am not mistaken.

IIIMBPIII

I think your right about the primary cats being removed thats awesome you got headers coming if you mind me asking what did you pay for them and where did you get them? PM that info if you dont want to put it up here!

Thanks,
CJ

The headers cost 3125 if I am not mistaken, I got them from C2 design of Tampa, Florida and thats with shipping.

Shipping to Kuwait costs 325 and withing 3 days, so I dont think its bad. Since you are located in the U.S you can get it for cheaper rate since the package only weights 22lbs.

i got every restrictive piece cut off from cat back...ive never heard anything that sounded better....i mean ofcourse whn a ferrari or something comes by...its louder then hell, but i love the look on peoples faces when they see a benz have ballz like that...its self fulfilling.....get them cut off and dont ever look bck...

IIIMBPIII

Im glad you love it! The looks that you get is great I love it lol i know that sounds vain but oh well!!!!

todd01clk

is there a type of x pipe that works better than other or any muffler shop can just take out the resonator and custom a x pipe?

IIIMBPIII

if your looking for a name brand x-pipe you could go with magna flow or supersprint but personally I dont know if there really will be much of a difference between them

My Magnaflow unit just arrived, which is the same piece as I put on my E550, and it's been working very well since the day installed.

CPD SLK

Do not buy the supersprint unit.....it's the most overpriced piece of exhaust I've ever seen...Get a mangaflow.....

IIIMBPIII

Agreed! Also Magnaflow is a very good company that I believe many Euro tuners over look because when you think Magnaflow you usually think america muscle. I had a full setup on my BMW and it sounded way better than any $1000 system a lot of the other users were using... just my .02 though

dsb

I've got Magnaflow on mine...

I also use Magnaflow products on my 1800lbs Ford Focus dragster, been fine since day one, top notch craftsmanship. Highly recommended.
