Ok took the wagon to get the resonators removed yesterday because I just love the sound of my CLSTT without them and I noticed some differences.

Below is a pic (first pic) of the E63TT set up--- it appears to have a post cat set up followed by the resonator. I only removed the resonator and the sound now mirrors the CLSTT. But I ask and post because the CLS does not have the post cat set up???

So would removing the post cat on the E63TT create even more sound? What about power? I would think sound for sure- not sure about power.




And here is my CLSTT set up prior to the resonator delete---- no post cats....

Hmmmm....interesting. In for the experts opinions...

Vik did you remove your resonator for your 2010 as well? Just wondering if I can do it for my 2011?

vdubpower

did u replace those parts with just straight pipes

can u post some more vids of the sound of the 2 new cars side by side if possible

NYBeater

Im sure it would create a little of both... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFCnlDA4qI0

I did and you should do the same- on the NA 63 the optimal sound for the buck set up is removal of the post cats and resonator.


I replace with just straight pipes.

i think you the difference is due to the type of model.

E63 Wagon is probably tuned for a slightly quieter exhaust compared to the CLS63..

Those seem like very small CATs, I'm thinking its just additional sound filters.

Vic55

Could very well be... I think Ill mess around with them and see whats faster and better sounding.

It's too bad those parts can only be removed and put back on by cutting and welding.

Vic55

Not a big deal at all... my guy's welds are amazing. Im not trying to hide anything from the dealer so for me- no biggie.

vdubpower

I would love to hear them inperson before I made the cuts

Man, those are press pics...and that one has CF exterior trims and likely 19" rims. We wanna see yours. Remember the following quote:

"This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine."

Vic55

Who cares, its the same exact car LOL- the 18's look no different (thats why I said here is what it looks like)- never seen soo much want for a stock car

And I dont know that quote but you are right, its my wagon.

I just havent taken any and to be honest, I dont take pics. I just drive em real fast

Let me find a camera- and the car ---- I garaged it

Derek@MACAutoCouture

Oh, hey, mine too! Haven't seen it yet, but yeah!
...and I'll wait to see it, but I want to HEAR it with the resonator out!

Snipe656

Hi Vic,

I have a question for you. Does KW made one for W212 E63 already? or is it out recently? because I heard they are going to make one for W212 E63.

Thanks

Vic55
