I have never understood why more c218TT owners dont do this.........

hyperion667

thang is getting meaner and meaner

freefall

I was nervous going in...but man what a difference. I swear I think I ever hear the spool more. Thanks for the Advice Vic.

Hyperion - The last of the visual mods are still on the way...HRE P40SC, KW lowering kit and a CF spoiler from Agency Power/Vivid....again, thank you Vic for hooking me up with those guys over there.

It sounds quite loud at low rev. Is it not too loud at higher rev? Is it easily reversible to factory setup?

freefall

I think it sounds loud at low rev because my wife was holding the phone a foot above the pipe. Honestly though...this is something you just don't hear unless you want to be heard. Flooring it through the gears is insane...it just makes me smile...

And yea...I took the resonator home with me and its an easy swap to put it back on.
Just cut the straight pipes at the weld and slap the res back in. Done.

That sounds incredible!

glad you are happy with the results man! you should try folding your back seats youll hear it more

vdubpower

i think i need to go ahead with this now

for those who know, do u thinki it now sounds more like the 6.2

Half Fast Drivr

The back seats fold down in the 63's?????

Mr. Happy

They do.

Vic55

It sounds better and I was an owner... on my 6.2 NA I not only did the resonator delete but also the post cat removal. And while the NA sounded excellent, the TT with the resonator out is THAT much better.

No doubt no ands no ifs no buts...

I'm in LA, SoCal.. where do we get this done and how does it impact warranty?

Here is my thread from October:

Sounds great!

Freefall, or someone else with no res, is there any way you could snap a video like that but from inside the car?

Is there any increase in noise in normal day to day "comfort mode" driving?

I'm sold on the sound outside the car, but I'm worried about increased noise in the cabin. I haven't seen a good video from the inside at all. Mostly worried about increased noise or drone at highway cruising speeds ~2k.

freefall

I just spent 6 hours in the car at a Rally around OC and LA. My navigator, who isn't a car guy said that he didn't even notice any noise it when I wasn't in high RPMs. Do it and keep the resonator. Ask the guy who does it what he would charge you to slap it back in. They are both "While you wait" deals and it was $150. Do it, drive it for a week and if you hate it slap it back in.
My ONLY regret is that I never did this to my previous AMG.
Here's a pic form today...it was a blast and I got to prove my car against some serious machines. I would say I represented us just fine...

I drove the 6.2 NA for 3 years and I loved that car...but the new 63 is a totally different beast. This engine, with the tune, make me feel like I'm in a true supercar that can run with anything.

You feel the same way Vic or anybody else who has had both?

Saeedg48

Jason it was great having you out there! wow what a blast good times my friend.
some feedback from the event; long tiring but fun day overall. nice to be around friends and drive next to some serious machines.
we embarrassed all those gallardos hahaha. did you see me run against the murci roadster? (of course i'm referring to the closed course)

freefall

I'm going to start a new thread on this but yea....I did see that... I was on his *ss around that on ramp and she was holding on just fine. IMO Italy did't do well well today...
I also saw you and a little SLK almost kiss pretty good on the way home....

But to stay on topic here, how did my car sound from the outside?

O'yea...Saeed my friend......you are fearless.......Like I was 15 years ago...

Ali_E55

i removed my cats and it sounds great.

i didn't want any welding to be done so i got the same sound i think, i posted the video before couple months.

pgordon888

I think the only increased sound in the cabin is a little more intake whistle sound at idle and under low speed driving (e.g. in a parking garage) but you can really only hear that with the windows down. It is more than made up by the loud crack the exhaust makes on a WOT 1-2 shift now.

This mod is not for people who find the current exhaust sound loud enough. I think it is about twice as loud as before at WOT -- which I love but is not for everyone.

dtothedtotheo

will this void warranty?

My E63 M157PP going into shop (Mufflex in NJ) for resonator delete. Need some advice from you guys.

The shop says to install an X-pipe as it will give a better balanced sound not as raspy as straight pipes. The cost for an x-pipe install is $400-600 as there is cost of x-pipe as well as some additional labor. Also, I want to be able to replace the resonator so i want the work to be done accordingly. I'm not sure if the shop is interested in the additional cost or if they really believe the x-pipe is better. They were pretty convincing.

I am not so concerened about cost difference as I want to do the right thing. Seems that those who have installed the straight pipes are happy!

My question....is the x-pipe the way to go to get a better sound? Anybody have the x-pipe and can tell me their opinion on which sounds better? I realize this is subjective, but who better to ask.

Shodan01

You are getting ripped off on that pipe. They installed an X pipe on mine (pipe costs 140.00) and charged 75 to do it.

e55tom

Thanks for the input.

When you say they... do you mean Mufflex?

Regardless, I will revisit the pricing with them.

Are you happy with the x-pipe?
