I wonder if he left the two long resonators and took out the pre muffler if It would have a more amg 55/s5 tone to it

I removed all resonators. The audio video does not do it justice. I'm sure if you heard it in person you wouldn't have any reservation.

It doesn't sound entirely bad. IMO seems nice.

Ordered some Borla Pro XS muffler, they should be here mid-next week. Cant wait to get them installed and see how this baby sounds....Keeping the long tube resonators on for now. I have already replaced the Y-pipe with an X.


Stay Tuneddddddd

NEbiker10 according to Jbrady, a member on here with lots of experience and knowledge in exhaust systems, that x pipe you have would actually hurt your performance. He recommends leaving the stock y pipe (the first one after the cats) and finally replacing your exhaust after that. This is because our v8's are small displacement v8's and the factory y-pipe is very good at flowing emissions away from the engine and not back. He says with an x-pipe your low end torque will suffer. You can search his name for some more information if you want. Just some food for thought.
