I just did a resonator delete on my 07 E63 with 3" straight pipes. I don't really like the sound it produces in the cabin... Sort of a muffled and drone sound, a bit loud for my taste. I would appreciate your opinions please:
1.) Switch to 3" Magnaflow Tru- x pipe
2.) Switch to Magnaflow X pipe with bullet resonators
3.) Switch to VRP X pipe
4.) Put the original resonator back on.
My attempt is to preserve the AMG sound, just a bit louder than stock.

What did it run to do the res delete and add straight pipe? How does the X pipe work?

It ran me $150 to remove the resonator and an additional $250 to put it back.. I was a bit impulsive (only had the car for a week before I was chopping off the exhaust).
I'm back to stock but I have my eye on the Gintani header back exhaust.. They did a "one-off" for a CLS63 and it sounds amazing.
The cost for the set-up is pricey but the sound is amazing.
Just got the resonator removed yesterday. The sound is exactly what I want, not too loud, no drone at cruising. Just the deep sound when start or step on the gas. I am happy with the outcomes.
I have problem with the way the pipes look. I think exhaust tips are a little low but they said that's how they're supposed to be and cannot be adjusted. May be they just want more money to to get the job done? Please take a look at the picture at let me know what you think? Thanks.

Mine was removed when I bought the car or the inside of the resonator if the resonators are the ones at the front straight after the headers has been open so they are empty inside gives a nice raw sound when cruising but as soon as open / floor it you really can hear it. Even when changed to manual the sound really changes but I'm not sure if those are the resonators is so long time I been fiddling with exhausts
Here is a picture of mine note left side exhaust tip.
Maybe we are to detailed but we see it I'm not sure others see it
Still is how we are detailed haha.
Anyway still I'm bed can't frk walk so will be a while before I'm able to work / drive my car again it sucks big time now summer came to Sweden and here I am with a broken back longing sitting behind the steering wheel buuh huuh but good news today I'm 1 steep better can now sit that is awesome.
Imagine from day to day u can't walk made 1 wrong movement and bam by back is stuck not sure what is called in English but the disk in the spine blown and touching the nerve in my spine so contestable pain in my right leg the leg I need to floor the pedal Grrrr

Its hard to see in the picture. It looks like the left side is a little lower. I will have my car lifted up to take another look. I will let you know.

Nothing they can do, they said its manufacture set, nothing wrong. I will wait to see what you can do for your car.
