2012 CLS63 TT Resonator Delete Video/Sound
Not a W212 2012 E63 but I feel its appropriate since you guys like exhaust mods and might want to do this if you are considering a 2012.
After seeing Neosky's post in the CLS63 forum about removing the resonator with Pepe in Long Beach, I felt it was necessary as well. I have taken my other AMG's there for some work and I know he does an excellent job. I chose to go with a straight pipe in place of the resonator (see pics) and I truly believe the video/sound doesnt do the car justice. This is the only exhaust mod on the car: resonator removal.
I was quite shocked after the removal to see how much sound I gained; its a good gain and I really like the way the car sounds now. Its very aggressive but not so much in lower RPMs circa 2k. But when you open it open it roars. Rather impressive for just a resonator removal in my opinion. Whats funny is when I start it up it has the powerful bark but after a few seconds it calms down a bit to a light purr. The throttle blips really showcase this mod too- the car is loud. This M157TT continues to amaze me and oh yeah ... no post cats on the new turbo cars.
The video might need to be turned up a bit just an FYI. And my apologies for the gap between idle and throttle presses. I was hoping to do some drive by's but that will happen another time.

Awesome Vic. I had the same reaction when I deleted my resonator. I kept getting asked if I had done the entire exhaust by my coworkers. Nope! Love the sound on startup and it truly sings under load.

Thank you E55 Gods!!!! It sounds even better under load on the road. I dont know if you saw the other thread here with the CLS63 and the GTR but if you think the CLS sounded good there- this is even better!!
ECU coming gents... need to put more miles on car--- I dont drive it daily.
