Default LS460 Resonator Delete??

Tried Searching the internet and was unable to come up with anything worthy.

Is there anyone who's done this on their LS460 or can point me to something related?

My last few resonator deleted were on my ALTIMA 3.5se and Mazdaspeed 3 with awesome results.

Although, i dont want to take away from the LS460 superb quietness, a small of me is itching for some added rumble.

You can do the delete, BUT........ Why? These cars are engineered to have a quiet cabin experience.

Because the S-class is designed to be quiet but the S63 has the sound and a bit more ponies. Have a little fun with it.

I did the resonator delete. On cold start you can hear it but once it warms up its barely noticeable. There is also the secondary cats. I thought about doing those but never got a chance

Its a battle in my head. I mean, I got into the ls460 for the added power and luxury vs my ls430..... but Sometime, despite its refinement, i crave the sound of a v8.

Nothing on cruise. Full throttle maybe a little but nothing to drastic.
