I had mine put on last week. Much quieter than my last setup that was basically some, admittedly awesome-sounding, race mufflers from Shardul. They do rip at WOT, that's for sure.
With MBH headers, it isn't as loud as you think. I have resonator getting replaced with an X-pipe tomorrow and I will post another video then.
Why did you go with two straight pipes instead of an x-pipe in place of resonator?

Just didn't think the xpipe was needed. I spoke with my exhaust guy and he said the same. He said if I were to delete the secondaries, then I should drop an xpipe setup. For the resonator, he said it's not necessary, won't drone, and they could custom build a straight through setup to the mufflers.
They had to do some bend work and it turned out nicely. I'll jack the car up this weekend and take pics for the forum.
Isn't it great how stock it sounds just cruising?

Dude look at my sig and u will see the power to be had 
I think u are making a big mistake by not doing headers. Should be the first mod any one does to these cars. My car is still civil sounding not to mention u are really letting her breath that's what's most important and you're dropping the temperature a good amount in the engine bay. To each his own I guess. Do your self a favor and do headers I 100 percent guarantee it will not be too loud and you will love it and be thanking me for this post

DAMNNN. That sounds so damn nice!!!!!!Talk about a tease with those two sub-10 second clips.I definitely want to hear a driveby acceleration and a hard, in cabin, WOT run.
It sounds exotic and throaty at the same time..which, IMO is the perfect combo. But yet it doesn't sound like your typical american muscle car.

I believe the SL63 mufflers require more fabrication to work, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Stick with the C63s if you can find a set.
Fellas-
I still you all vids (and Denroll's exhaust sound thread, too). Rest assured, I'm working on finding the time to take these. With family on both my wife's and my side coming and going during the holidays, it's really hard to make some good time and take some quality vids without taking up too much time that I want to spend with them.
They're coming, though! Stay tuned..

Sounds AWESOME! I have a resonator delete on my 63, and just got some kleemann shorty headers and high flow cats. Can not wait to put these things on.
If anything I may do an X-Pipe in place of the secondaries.

Gang-
Here's a longer vid I just took in my garage (my wife's side of the garage was open). Of course with my luck, it has been raining/hailing the last three days without a break. It is pouring right now. This is the best I can do with the car in the garage.
Car has been sitting for two days now since the rain started. It has also gotten louder since I picked it up from the muffler shop, I guess the mufflers are getting more carbon buildup as the miles stack up? (Mufflers had 6000 miles when I bought it).
Still the vid doesn't do justice for how great and awesome these things sound in person. I wouldn't change them for any other setup. Hope this gives you guys a better idea of how they sound.
I'll get more vids soon.
Cold start with a few revs. Revs are only to about 2500RPM; they are much louder in the upper RPM range.
Family is coming in tonight, so I won't have a chance to get drivebys etc. until they leave.

KMS11 - PM replied.
BagMan - you'll love it!
I am thinking to do headers now in the Spring and a re-tune
I want to see if I can crack 500rwhp with just the upper pulley and headers on a nice, cold day.
The mod bug: never stops!
