That’s all you really need with that type of car. You don’t really want it to be extremely loud but it’s always you guys do excellent work.

[@DudesaidMIKE]

I had to send it on that last one, but happy as hell with the way it came out. Also, the abs/esc fault light on is due to wheel speed sensors before anyone hops on that comment train 😂 they’re all getting done this week. Only 69,000 miles on this land barge.

[@Falco_e46]

Doesnt it drone with just the resonated tips?

[@DudesaidMIKE]

@@Falco_e46 a bit, in all honesty. Especially that 2-3k space

Not as loud as I was expecting straight piped ...which is good 👍

It’s technically not straight piped his cats are still on

Straight pipe sound like a businessman who knows how to party

EVERY GERMAN CAR that comes into this shop has multiple error lights on. It's gonna be a meme soon! 😂😂😂😂

[@DS-li1lc]

Weil die Leute große Autos fahren wollen aber nicht das Geld haben um sie zu warten und zu pflegen. In Deutschland gibt es das nicht....

[@jimbo5728]

@DS-li1lc I know, it's just funny. Not the car's fault. The buyer wants loud exhaust FIRST. Proper function of vehicle systems is a low priority to their clientele 🤣🤣

[@DudesaidMIKE]

@@jimbo5728 proper diag was complete and wheel speed sensors had been ordered when I brought it in, throwing no lights now.

[@310Cowboys]

It sounded amazing. Bad ass. I love it.

[@Long-nd8bq]

I have the same exact car. Removed the front resonators and put my X pipe there (closer to the engine is best for performance). I took out the rest and have it straight piped but I re-used the OEM AMG tips to keep it looking factory. Sounds great but still quiet. On the highway you can barely tell it's only slightly louder but these cars are super insulated and have double pane glass which makes them very quiet inside. When you said "muffler delete" you should have said resonator delete because the factory mufflers were still on the car. I also got mine tuned by OE Tuning. 91 Octane (I live out west and that's the highest grade we can get) performance tune with exhaust burble so when I get on it and let off it pops a bit or if I manually downshift it, it will pop and burble.

[@DudesaidMIKE]

How do you like the OE tune? I get 93 here. The resonated tips droned quite a bit, so I went back to the original setup with the stock mufflers, and may swap up to the 63 mufflers for a little more sound.

[@frankleonard6570]

That sounds really good. Beautifull car❤

[@exhaustaddicts]

It does!

[@joe.olivet]

Nice work! 😎👊🏻🔨 Sounds okay either way.

[@exhaustaddicts]

Thanks 👍

[@shonoff83]

That sounds great, no more than that is needed.... nice sound level... after further review, I like the str8 pipe better.......

[@DudesaidMIKE]

Thanks brother.

[@exhaustaddicts]

Right on!

[@orlanmedina3693]

Awsome sound

[@El__Cherry]

I have the v12 version and tried to get it loud but it just wouldn’t cut it smh

[@MaSheen3000]

You're showing muffler delete at the bottom of the screen and then you say you have to take the mufflers off so what is it what's installed what's going on???

[@user-ht7nh5fb5z]

It's a different beast in sport mode!

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

Sounds good but too loud for a big heavy luxury sedan.

[@MsPhillip10]

if you have the ability to code mercedes you could also activate the SoundDesign in the ECU and then it will burble when you let of the gas.

[@oscardeneergaard2132]

Straight pipes sounds so much better on the s class 550 than muffler delete 🔥

[@DudesaidMIKE]

Thanks man. One was mild and one is aggressive.

[@oscardeneergaard2132]

@@DudesaidMIKE excatly 👍

[@cliffelmore5834]

Do you find that a resonated tip actually helps calm some of the rasp?

[@DudesaidMIKE]

Absolutely. Gives it more of a baritone sound.

[@user-iu2lk8zw3n]

Which resonators are those- link please? Thanks!

[@DudesaidMIKE]

No resonators! First setup was cats-x pipe-stock mufflers, then without the stock mufflers and 10” resonated oval tips.

[@user-iu2lk8zw3n]

​@@DudesaidMIKE I'm sorry, that's what I meant- those resonated oval tips, I really like those- do you sell them? I'm ready to drive from Florida to Nashville for you guys to do this, lol

[@DudesaidMIKE]

@@user-iu2lk8zw3n I got them from their shop, so I’m sure they’ll happily supply more. And holy crap from florida?!

[@BetioBastardDoc]

I think I’m going to do that on my car. Already had it tuned by rentech it’s pushing extra 140hp. I love this car. So comfortable and fast.

MENGA MINT!!!

[@Kkkassapskds]

i have s500 straightpipes too on my youtube channel and is it louder than yours check it out but i dont know why my s class is louder hmm🤔

[@StephenGlokx]

res tips, it cuts off some of the sound, and prob the xpipe

[@730F-Sport]

Man's straight piped a money pit 😂😂

[@DudesaidMIKE]

Can’t disagree with that 😂 perks of being in the euro repair business though. And it’s more of a basic “entry” level S class without all the extra features and usual problem areas. Air suspension will be my biggest expense once those are due, but overall it’s been combed through and well maintained.

[@afitz6389]

Well I own one, so far not a money pit but surely a sweat equity car...no silver spoon here😅love the ride and dont need the sounds just like the hush n go.....❤

[@jugobetrugo7213]

It sounds good but IMO it doesnt fit the car - its a luxury car, it shouldnt be that loud

[@DudesaidMIKE]

Most definitely. Trying to track down a set of S63 mufflers to add on. I liked the subdued tone of the mufflers on, and the x pipe helps cut down volume, however you lose low end torque and mileage but gain top end power.

[@JamesBrown-qv7wq]

You kno nothing v12 Amg same car come and sound like that

[@jugobetrugo7213]

@@JamesBrown-qv7wq First of all S550 is a V8 - and its not a AMG. An S65AMG doesn't sound that loud, the cars were built for business people - not for rednecks
