  • this $250 exhaust job at a muffler shop turned out absolutely AMAZING. I think this is a great sound for the Mercedes SL550 and couldn't be more happy with the thrill of it when I stomp the gas pedal!

    I just did the muffler delete on my 2008 burgandy SL550 but instead of rewelding the stock tips I went with a single brushed stainless tips because I had the shop use 3” diameter stainless mandrel piping because with the stock tips it reduced the diameter considerably and didn’t want to choke the exhaust flow. It sounds so mean especially when going wide open throttle but still reasonably quiet when off the throttle. Now I want to change the cat back piping to a full 3” mandrel bends.

    Does the resonator delete allow you to hear more pops when letting go of the gas after hitting let's say 3000 rpm? I have an SL500 with muffler delete, sound is great, just want more pops, so was wondering if resonator delete will do the trick. Thanks!

    • @Loujr2250

      Not really. I’ve had a r129 that had the muffler and resonator removed. I would only here pops when shifting gears in a high rpm, and it was normally one or top pops. Nothing crazy. Now removing the cats would be a different story, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that.

    Hmm.. As an engineer I say noise is energy wasted, as a speed/acceleration freak I don't care, how does it go, but as me.. Sorry, I personally prefer a less agricultural sound! Mind you, that particular Merc has caught my eye, even though I'm more of a 'pocket rocket' lover, small and fast is where it's at for me.. A Lotus Elise or a PGO buggy with a 600/750cc motorbike engine is more my thing for a 'go out for a quick blast'. Top end is nothing, acceleration is where it's at!
