Hey everyone,

In the process of selling my car and getting a replacement 2007 E63 for a little more power and fun and I'm considering that I might want to approach the way I do an exhaust mod on this car a little differently than my E550, on which I did a muffler delete and J-pipe (helmholtz resonator for cancelling out droning frequencies) and I am very happy with. Yet, I have never heard of anyone doing a muffler delete on an E63.

I want to go with a sound that keeps the German V8 tone (not too muscle car sounding) but is a bit louder when I lay into it, something still fairly civil when cruising or idling, and also something that doesn't rob any power or low end torque. I've seen several videos online of resonator deletes and some seem about what I'm after, and others seems a little too muscle car sounding. Any advice? In a perfect world I'd fork out the cash for an Eisenmann or Meisterschaft exhaust but I don't always think that's necessary. Thanks!

On my first e63 I had a resonator delete with an x pipe in its place an everything else stock. The sound IMO doesn't seem like it changed much,but I have a friend that did the same to his e63 but with headers an no cat. IMO way way to loud. My second e63 right now has a meistershaft gt race exhaust, an at wot sound amazing. At low speed you still hear it meaning very light droning. I am currently selling my meistershaft exhaust because I'm going to do full custom work to achieve what I want.

On my e63, I just did a resonator delete and left it all stock. Sound didnt get too much louder but more refined. Has a nice bark to it. Esp when engine braking...the burbble is amazing.

Hmmm that sounds like what I'd be after it if it was louder, I LOVE my current exhaust on my E550 which is a muffler delete (I do get burbling and popping as well) so I might try the same thing on an E63 if I get it, worst comes the worst I can have the mufflers re-installed.

or get c63 muffler + res delete ... I think ull be happy for sure

That's definitely another option, with the resonator delete and C63 mufflers should I just straight pipe the resonators or do some type of x-pipe setup?

on my 07 E63 i have res delete with X pipe in place, the rest is stock, sounds perfect(to me). The only reason i'm not doing headers is i'm afraid to lose the sound, well, that and the fact that i can't find shorties.

You have a video? I've seen a lot on YouTube of E63 resonator deletes but some sound too muscle-car like and others sound about right so it's hard to tell. Thanks for the input everyone.

meistershaft exhaust GT, Res delete..

Curious, why put c63 mufflers on e63? I don't think they will make a noticeable difference.

This would definitely give it a great sound, kinda loud in my opinion. But great sound. Someone on here is actually selling his meister.

Add a tune and you are good to go...
Headers is where these car pick up on power.
No sense in having a loud slow car.

AMGAffalterbach

I wouldn't call the E63s low 4 second sprints to 60 slow but that's true... I'm still in the mindset that if I do a muffler delete J-Pipe that it will sound great since the same is true with my E550. I actually like the Eisenmann exhaust with no res better than the Meisterschaft with no res... thoughts?

dchl21

because c63s sound like a thunderstorm stock.

dchl21

ive an e55 with meistershaft mufflers , kleemann header with no prime cats , I have stock secondary and res.


its already loud and drones ... if you get it... don't need to delete res. imho.... or you can try it with seconds on then decide...just an idea

IMO you need not make an E63 louder to let people know you are coming it is more precious to get the respect once you arrive. With age comes experience, with experience comes respect, with respect you do not have to show off your 500HP car. They make Hondas and Mazdas for that. LOL

lol well put. Hey i still have my old honda with 18' wheels, magnaflow muffler and takeda SRI...still beats around town without any issues...knock on wood...87k miles on it so far...havent had to do any work on it except oil and gas and tires once. I dont mind it as a reliable commuter time to time

Haha okay I do have to agree with not "showing off" my car, but there is something to be said when I am on a canyon run or rally and other car enthusiasts comment how much they like my exhaust. It's not loud unless I lay into it, so it doesn't sound like a MazdaSpeed 3 with a fart canon where it's burbling all the time - it's just nice to have a V8 car that isn't quiet when I don't want it to be. However having something that is obnoxiously loud is really immature and bothersome to people. I guess this is kind of a loaded question since "loud" and "refined" are two very subjective qualities.

There is one guy around here with an E55 that is getting C63 mufflers so maybe I should take a listen once those are installed
