What brand name mufflers are out there that sound closest to the c63 mufflers, and why do the c63 mufflers sound so good does anybody know ? Currently have lth cat res delete straight pipes through to factory mufflers but don’t like the sound all that much

You can find C63 mufflers around for $500-700. Going out and buying brand name expensive mufflers/exhausts for the E55 will cost more than that.

I have read they sound great due to their straight-through design vs. the 55's heavily padded/soundproofed design.

Have you tried running resonators in place of the mufflers? may be a slightly cheaper option....

I'm currently figuring out my exhaust setup so have been doing a ton of research...

There's a Fabberge cat back on eBay. Bolt-on, full 3 inch stainless, and deletes your resonator.

There hard to find here in New Zealand. I have LTH x pipe and 3” straight through to factory mufflers with cats and res deleted. Exhaust is only mild steel though which I was disappointed as I presumed they would use stainless. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated here is what it sounds like currently

I saw that on there, couldn't find any good videos of it but I have heard good things. To me just looks like the did 3" straights with flowmaster mufflers...

Are you going for loud as possible? Might as well throw some tuner resonators or standard aftermarket mufflers (like flowmaster, see above) made for v8 and see how you like that. Otherwise $700+ for 63 mufflers or you can risk chinese ebay exhausts that will/may rust off after a year.

I have the last 2 Fabberge cat back exhausts on eBay now. I bought the last remaining 10 of them and have sold 6 and installed one on my car so that I could make sure they fit and work well. I can say that it is definitely a bolt on (took an hour on 2 post lift) and fits very well. Sound is very good, no drone, and to my surprise the car pulls harder. They are well built and welds are certainly nice.

Nah not loud as possible I don’t want it to sound like a cheap v8. I got some 2015 e63s mufflers today so will see how they go

Fabberge E55 exhaust sound.

I’m running LTH, x pipe, resonator deleted with stock mufflers. Just bought a pair of C63. However, while deleting resonator, I had a chance to start her up with LTH, x pipe and resonator. It sounded good! Should of kept that set up because with resonator deleted is not loud enough for my ears.

You should have a look at MEC Design Apocalypse exhaust, in my opinion sounds brutal yet not brash. This sounds like the Eisenmann Sport but louder.

MSG 55G

Sound nice, what they running? $$$$?

I contacted them for a quote and they were offering a 20% off. The price was 1450 Euro before discount. I think it's worth it as the other good ones are more expensive. Do factor in the shipping charges from Germany to your country.

Only MEC, Väth and Supersprint make exhausts for the wagon. I'm getting the MEC Apocalypse soon for my wagon.

E63 or CLS63 mufflers sound good as well. you can also modify your stock 55 mufflers. aftermarket mufflers will sound different than AMG mufflers due to their internal chambered design.

If I had a 55, I'd modify my factory mufflers and see how they sound before spending the money on something else.

here's my E63 with LTH, straight pipe, x-pipe, and no resonators. its very loud when i want it to be, but absolutely QUIET at all crusing speeds.

spooln4life

i have headers xpipe straight pipe stock mufflers i hacked opend and pulled all the packing out, stock e55 is like a 3 chamber design so one chamber still mufflers, i pulled out the big part 2 chamber system, its tame at idle, cruise but once boost hits it sounds like a z06. my 2 cents, cost me zero dollars just skills and a welder. forget thinking your going to make noise without removing the bottleneck in front, i mean you will but trust me my cars sounds out of control even when they were stock, i did the packing delete in the end.

So what your saying is it is louder with the resonator in ? I just scored a set of 2015 c63s mufflers I’m going to see what they sound like hoping there the same as the earlier model c63 mufflers

Vader55

C63 Mufflers are insane with long tubes and xpipe, If you have stock headers just strait pipe from the primary cats with xpipe which is what I run now (no drone and luv it)... The biggest problem with the E55 exhaust IMO is 1. mufflers 2. resonator 3. secondary cats

Exotic-metal55

You can just splice in the round 3" Vibrant oval mufflers and save a ton of money with the incredible sound. Ton of E55`s did this for years but not much posting on that mod these days.

Freshly installed C63 mufflers with LTH, X pipe, resonator deleted.

wow...that is LOUD! haha

tlambert

Cool sound. Looks like they aligned them in the bumper opening nice also.

MSG 55G

Thanks T!

They are loud, plus I just installed 72mm fixed pulley and throttle responses is instant synchronizing sound effects with mufflers. WOW!!!
