I think the only thing to do is to try it
.. as we already have the H pipe

me too, I can't understand even MB reasoning about this: a real X pipe seems to be oem only in CL63

H = low end torque
X = high end horsepower

I agree, you need to go with H

I don't think there is anything special in building an H-pipe.
the one that is stock in our car is a bit long ..

but other mercs have something more similar to this ...
interesting to see how silenced pipes are made

I don't see any need to try a different H than the stock design we already have .. but, just to see something different I will try an X

What about no cross at all and just running straight pipes in place of the cats and resonators ? I assume this would increase backpressure as the exhaust gasses slow down and have no where to go- thoughts ?
