Encounter with Maserati
Coming home from In N Out burger around 1:20 AM in Los Angeles, CA. Maserati was tailing me and instigating. That exhaust was nice as ****. Anyways we pair up at a green light. When the light hits green, I don't floor it but give him a bit of an edge. He has low end torque so he pushed a bit ahead but as soon as I hit 4-4.5k RPM, the strong pull of the E63 came and I overtook him. We stopped at 85-90 and I had a good 1.5-2 cars on him. I would assume it was the Ghibli S or Ghibli SQ4 because the base Ghibli is a 5.6s 0-60 and this one felt much much faster. (4.8 or 5 sec). Anyways, he didn't come by my window, he made the first right as soon as he could. Wonder if the quattroporte or the grandturismo would beat me but not walk me. Btw, I'm completely stock except for a resonator delete that pushes my powerband a bit higher.

No dyno my man but I definitely feel loss of low end torque when I did the mod. Xpipe is less loss but straight pipe is the most. I used to feel power buildup around 3500 rpm, now its like 4500. It is definitely 100% noticeable. You sacrifice low end torque for exhaust tone. Your power, torque are all the same except that they have slightly been pushed up the powerband.

. I've done resonator deletes on 211 e63's and my ml63 all with no noticeable difference in power. Before doing any exhaust work it still didn't have power until 4500.

Say what you guys wanna say. Before the delete, it felt different and after the delete I noticed it tremendously. Yes it might be a 1 inch pipe cannot tell for certain, but there is DEFINATELY a difference in the way the power comes.

You're kidding right? Do you know what a power band is?
Its the range between peak torque and peak horsepower. If peak torque is put down at 2000 rpms and peak horsepower is at 6000 rpms, then that range is your "power band"..
Did you look at the resonator they removed from your car? Its not restricting the flow at all. It muffles the sound.
I won't wait for a response from you trying to justify the physics of a resonator changing a motor's "power band".

Nice to see someone who knows what they're talking about.

I've driven every CLS and E Class AMG offering a time or two. I've also owned a couple variants of AMG cars, and there's a reason why none of them were an M156.
I tried to help but I guess you can't fix stupid.
Good luck getting your "power band" back.
