Hi Guys,

I was wondering what all i need to do ot the exhaust to get that crackle and pop. I love it when i hear the guys on youtube that have a good sounding exhaust and when they let off the throttle it pops and cracks.

I dont really want to do long tubes as i live in phoenix and i heard that they are hard to get through emissions here.

Thanks,
B

get C63 mufflers for your car, that's as close as youre going to get

I have C63 mufflers on an otherwise stock exhaust. It sounds really good. No crackle though.

You will probably have to get rid of the resonator for the rice crispy experience.

Ok cool. Where does one get C63 mufflers?

Thanks,

wait till you find them on the forums

I think the crackle comes from higher compression, more aggressive valve overlap, and a lean condition during off throttle. It's probably not gonna happen on a 55...with the possible exception of a bad tune.

Phoenix doesn't really have restrictive emissions. As long as you don't get a CEL then you won't have a issue with running headers. I've had 600hp Hondas on HAV gas go through emissions with no issue.

Ok well that makes it easier. I heard that it was really hard with headers. I might have to look into a set then. I heard MBH is the way to go?

Get rid of the mufflers and you will get that sound

I get a good amount of the crackle your talking about when I have the cutouts open. I'm also running long tubes and full 3in piping to the cutouts at the axle.

I do have the E63, so I know a diff motor, but I took the Resonator out, and it crackles and pops all the time when I let off the gas. But again I have the 63

I agree with both these gentlemen. And I have the same setup as sheriffdep...DEFINATELY crackles and pops and makes all sorts of sexy noises when letting off the pedal.

My buddy has an 04 E55 with an eisenmann exhaust it sounds amazing but I have not heard that crack and pop noise. It really is something special.

& another +1 same as Sheriff & p30

I actually just heard my e63 for the 1st time yesterday, my pop was driving it & I took a short video clip(posted on instagram too) it growls like a **** when you let off the gas…

bkuips

I already deleted the resonators. Might hqve to have someone drive it so I can hearvwhqt itvsounds like it might sound better then I think

I have 2nd cat off and res out.. snap crackle pop all day. Pretty loud too... a bit too loud for me... I may put my resonator back.

BI-Performance

Off road x pipe and magnaflow magnapacks, that's all!

I have that on my 55k, and its very raspy.

bkuips

had my wife drive it today and i drover hers in and mine is way to quiete. so there will be some parts being cut off soon.

55fanatic

Got rid of my resonators and gutted the mufflers, but I also had headers and an x-pipe. Mine sounds like satans V8. I did it in stages and I can tell you that gutting the mufflers made the biggest sound improvement by far. Lots of crackling on the down change and the cheapest option. You will never get the same sound as a 63 because it is a higher compression N/A motor. My next step is to remove the mufflers altogether and run the tips straight out of the exhaust pipe. A guy in my neighbourhood has an E63 with gutted mufflers, nothing else - that thing sounds like a nascar on steroids.

I have w211 e63 too and would like the exhaust to crackle. Do you have stock exhaust otherwise? What do you have instead of the resonator? Just a pipe or x pipe?

4 year old revival. Common exhaust set up for the 63. search it.

You gotta get tuned for it, RaceIQ did it for me

my car makes some concussive pops when slowing down in traffic. I'll try to get some footage for you. I believe it comes from the exhaust never merging. Neither bank touches the other bank.
