Hey Guys,

Got an aftermarket exhaust on but the drone is ridiculous. Everything is stock besides mufflers/tips. Wondering if x-pipe would get rid of it or maybe a bigger resonator than the stock one would help?

Toadster

take it to a good muffler shop and see what they recommend

I took it to one yesterday before AMG and the guy was like BRO, this sounds bad ***. I am like man no it doesn't! haha. He is like if you want to kill the drone then take off mufflers and put on stock and x-pipe it.

Put the stock mufflers back on and do a resonator delete.. Thats all you need on the cls

djrabbi

yeah might go back maybee

Stop being a cry baby. Suck it up and drive the beast with a sick exhaust

djrabbi

Sorry i do have a cry baby in the back seat when my nephew was crying his brains out cause it was droning.....unless I can put him in your car lol.

All this car needs is a resonator delete. Check out my vids in link in sig. No drone at all.

Exactly my suggestion

At what speeds do you hear the most drone?

x pipe will help a lot.

We deleted the resonator and secondary cats on my friends CLS and replaced the resonator with x-pipe and the secondary cats with straight pipe. It has stock mufflers and it sounds really good - no drone at all. It is quiet at idle but has a really nice growl at WOT.

I would suggest doing that but if you keep the aftermarket mufflers, do you want to sell your stock mufflers?

This

You can also install an W211 E55 resonator.
It's very different than the cls resonator.
There is an gap so it works like an H-pipe.
The cls resonator doesn't

djrabbi

Imma throw on X-pipe regardless and go back to stock.

djrabbi

Not speeds, at 1500-2000RPM. I was revving slowly and notice it back fires a bit also. I am just going to put on stocks and x-pipe and call it a day.

I was wondering the same thing.. I just bought a 2006 E55.. i actually haven't even got it in yet. Should be in Houston on Monday...was reading the forums to see what i should do first, i was thinking of doing a little exhaust tweaking before i bought the EC tune package. I don't want it to be stupid loud, when I'm cruising i want it to be somewhat quiet, but when i get on it i want to be sure I'm heard...

Suggestion just do a resonator delete? I already know a good muffler shop

Not so. The CLS55 resonator also has a crossover in it. It is a different design than the E55 resonator, but both have crossovers. I have a nice CLS55 resonator I'd be willing to sell if anyone makes a fair offer for it.

Toadster

want my W211 E55 resonator?
