E55 Exhaust

Wanting a better exhaust sound from my stock E55. I'm wanting it to sound like the 6.3 AMG's. However I'm not wanting to spend tons of money on mufflers. Have read some stuff about magnaflow mufflers being used. Haven't been able to determine which muffler from magnaflow that is being used.. Magnaflows website states that they don't make one for the vehicle.. Any help would be much appreciated..

12198 for the rear mufflers if you want to use the stock tips.

Thanks for the reply. I see that the muffler you indicated has a 3" inlet and 2.5" outlet. Is that correct? I was able to find one from magnaflow that was 3" in/out. Also, I see you have done alot of exhaust work on yours. What do you recommend? I don't want it to be retarded loud though.. Only when you get on it..

Thanks in advance. Any adivice you can give will be greatly appreciated..

I have two rear 12198's and an dual/dual 3" In/Out xpipe muffler that acts as a muffler as well as an xpipe. I put it in mainly because I wanted to get rid of drone. Now it sounds just the way I want it to sound. Perfect. Quiet cruising, very hearty during WOT.

One last question.. Does your car throw any error messages because you removed the secondary cats and resonator?

nope, you cut right before the sensors so you are good. If you take the primary cats off then you will throw a code.
