I had my resonators removed and replaced with straight pipes instead, gives the car a whole new exhaust tone...

Here's a little bit about the car:

2003 Mercedes-Benz W220 S500
18" AMG Rims w/Dunlop Dunlop SP Sport Maxx (F: 245/45/18 R: 275/40/18)

Denso IK16 Iridium Plugs
PowerChip ECU Tune
Exhaust Resonators Removed
Airmatic Lowering Module
S600 Titanium Colored Grill (or the flat-black grill)
Flat Hood Emblem (DFW's Limited Edition Flat Emblem)
Painted sidermarkers
35% Tint
Aluminum Pedals

Here is the finished product:

Congratulations on the mods, I changed the resonators on my Car with some Carlsson/Supersprint X pipes and when coupled with the kleemann cats it sounds very brutal and honestly SLR-ish. I gained quiet alot of toque in the low-to mid range rpm levels and it pulls much harder now. From what I've heard the evosport u/d pullies are the most bang of the buck modification on all Merc's when coupled with aftermarket air intakes.

 

Oh, I also ran across a video which linked me to this thread: https://teamspeed.com/forums/general...m-exhaust.html

I see that the user Nermin1 is from New York... so if I see ya on the highway... I got somethin' for you!

 

How much did you gain with the modifications and can you enlighten on the B11 Brabus components, can I get some components from the B55S which is ecu tune, cams, valve springs etc into my car ?

 

i have a 03 s500 4matic with the custom magnaflow exhaust. I was looking to get rid of those resonator myself but wasnt sure how they would sound.

thank for posting this as i know now my exhaust will sound very mean.


All you need now is a new performance muffler and kleemann sport catalyst
