Question AMG 6.3L V8 Exhaust Note - Anything Remotely Close Possible?

Obviously we lack some of the displacement. The main characteristic I enjoy is that throaty, deep sound, and yet in the cabin while cruising there's no drone whatsoever. I would love to have some character to the engine/exhaust, but not at the expense of quiet cruising on the highway.

Has anyone felt like they've achieved something similar?

You won't get any deeper than that with our 4.7L! Sounds great.

I wonder what's making that sound so low and deep. I wonder if he's running a 3" system as he mentioned something in one of his replies.

i messaged the guy a few months ago on youtube and never got a response.. As you an hear the throttle response is instant when it revs on the way back on the 2nd run.

I'm curious if the owner had to retune the car after port/polish/coned/knifed the throttle body and manifold. I'm guessing so since the the amount of air introduced into the engine has increased. can anyone shed light on this.. thanks

Well on Thursday we put my modified Magnaflow section on with the Topspeed section added too, but sadly my mufflers are killing the sound. So we are toying with straight pipes with my old tips welded on, or if that's too loud, we will use two spare stainless resonators as mufflers with some tips welded on.
