E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Headers/Info
On E63,
Just did the Meisterschaft Race exhaust - as seen here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvJV5neuZNU
Sounds great, however I think it could possibly stand to be louder.....
Now I am looking at headers....
Kleemann particularly, though they are $4000 w 6-7 hours of labor (costly)
How much sound difference would I notice with addition of these headers ?
If I had done these Headers INSTEAD of the exhaust (mufflers/tips) which do you think would have been louder/deeper ?
Any other suggestions for cheaper headers ?
Also thinking above removing resonator/sec. cats but do not want drone (I know there are numerous threads on this subject.) I am also looking for a distinct exhaust note (obviously representing a German vehicle) and do NOT want my car to sound like a Chevy w Glasspacks.....
Now my one goal is to not go overboard/too far w the exhaust and have to go back to "fix it" because I hate it.... Best friend has a Lightning w OPEN headers and I think it's obnoxiously loud, though he loves it...
-- Remember this is a 90k luxury car --
Thanks in advance gentlemen
