Muffler MOD for w212 e63. PERFECT AMG SOUND! DIY

The goal was to increase the volume, yet maintain the original "AMG" sound.
Take a little work, but I'm happy with the results!
Comment below!
Also show how to remove the rear exhaust from a w212 Mercedes
Goal. Increase volume without changing sound/tone or looks
Tools, Just an Ev12 socket(or 12pt), sawsaw and a welder
Time, 2-4 hours.
Cost: $18 for SS butt-end exhaust clamps, link: amzn.to/3mKYp1T
Outcome. Its hard to tell from the video, but there is a noticeable increase in sound. specifically on cold start up, low revs and WOT. Its not dramatic but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, this isn't an 3rd gen Camaro lol. To my personal taste, its about 50% of the volume increase I was looking for. I will likely address the resonator later. I think its unrealistic to get crazy sound without addressing the catted downpipes as well
One thing I came to the realization of is, compared to other exhaust (example, the w211 e55), there is very little attempt by MB to deaden or absorb sound in the factory system. SO pulling random numbers for illustration, a stock e55 exhaust only allows ~15% of the sound potential out, so gutting will provide a huge increase. In the contrast, the stock w212 e63 system already lets out ~80% of the available sound, so doing this mod gets you up to say... 90%.
The aftermarket alternative like EISENMANN, renntech, FI or capristo etc for $2500-$6500.
The other popular options are to delete the resonator or the mufflers, or both. These are very good options, but there are a few cons that made me pursue other options. Cosmetically, You're at the mercy of to exhaust shop for the quality. Many of these I've seen will just use mild steel with crappy non-mandrel bends and even wrong size pipe. You cannot really DIY either unless you have a pipe bender. So this muffler mod method looks stock, its quite un-intrusive, reversible if needed. It also wont throw any flags if you need to take it to the dealer if that's a factor to any of you.
Its very popular among other car circles, such as corvette, bmw, w211 e55 and even ferrari guys.
There is possible more potential if you have time to do some R&D. You could try closing off that first Y that just dumps into the cavity or weld a pipe that goes from it to one of the tips etc. I have a feeling it is related to sound quality, so for now I left it.
My future plan is to cut open the top of the resonator and do something similar to to. However, since clamps wont fit, I will just cut a 3" pipe in half and weld it to the outside of the internal perforated pipe and close it back up. Someday i may get downpipes and at that point I dont want it too-loud either. so I may not touch the resonator

[@Dnasty1]

I really commend your creativity here most people would run from doing anything experimental to a mercedes. It seems like the amg uses a turbo style muffler I wonder if the Y that goes into the main muffler body gets sucked back through the perforations and exits back out the tips. I am trying to figure out what to do with my m273 engine (5.5l na) which actually has more of an american muscle sound when I remove stuff. I wanted to get something more similar to the amg sound that is more raspy/crackly but still manages to be deep and not obnoxious... also as you say has more of a tame idle tone which I like.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

I considered that, but that fiberglass mat was thick and the holes so tiny. There is no flow IMO. I think the Y either allows some reverberation or absorbs a pop? I really don't know, so that why I just removed the think I knew absorbed sound. In my new one, I'm going to do the same mid, but to the resonator and see how it sounds

[@saltyirish]

Wouldn't clamping the inner pipe still restrict flow and noise? Seems like it would act like a venturi. I love the thought process. I think I am gonna drop the muffle and weld in a straight pipe inside the muffler when I remove the resonater.

I have a Slk 350. I will take out the fiberglass for sure. I am not sure about covering the perforation holes. I think my muffler is more like you’re E 55. You increase is three decimal points by covering the perforated holes. Question So how many decimal points do you think you would have had, leaving the holes open? If three decimal points is closing them. Your video is amazing your explanation spot on . like you I don’t want to change the sound I just wanted to increase 25% Or 30%. Again thank you so much for an excellent presentation. Alan

[@ExoticCarDIY]

It's hard to say exactly, again I'm going to muffler expert I'm just making educated guesses, I believe the sound exits through the perforations and is absorbed by the fiberglass. Simply removing the fiberglass would allow the sound to kind of echo inside the muffler can. Closing the holes likely gives a different tone. Overall it was pretty subtle

[@alanbrylawski2066]

@@ExoticCarDIY Really appreciate you getting back to me. This is a little off topic would like to ask about your E 55 experience with muffler Modification.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

@@alanbrylawski2066 on my e55, gutting the mufflers was at night and day difference. Before it was like a Tesla and after it sounded awesome. Most of the information I used came from mbworld. The path of the exhaust in the e55 mufflers is almost comical, it does like 6 180s. The procedure is similar, I cut a 6x8-in opening in the top, and essentially cut off the pipes in the middle, so the exhaust had a free path the float through the muffler and out the back.

[@gala-8407]

Should I just drill holes in the back box?

[@TristanMac65]

hey I am trying to understand the difference in removing all of the fiberglass, adding the clamp, and then leaving the fiberglass there which would be the stock setup and sound obviously. what's the science behind the addition of the clamp vs removing all of the fiberglass? and what didn't you like about removing all of the fiberglass?

[@ExoticCarDIY]

The fiberglass is sound deadening. Sound waves are reverberating in the pipes until they get to the perforations, the sound escapes and is quieted by the fiberglass matting. Removing the fiberglass would kind of make an equity sound, putting the clamp on it basically negates the preparations, essentially making a straight pipe

@@ExoticCarDIY why not keep res on and do muffler delete? keep res on since it has H-pipe inside also it has some sound dampening which reduces exhaust drone and just do muffler delete, this setup will give you deep rumble on high revs and quite deep tone on low rpm’s. E63’s rear muffler’s are nothing special, previous Cls63 and C63 had way better mufflers.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

@@livebig6414 it's where my personal preference meets taking it in progressive steps and trial and error. I'm not looking for a straight piped 3rd gen Camaro sound... But, do I want it a little bit louder than it is after this mod? Sure. So I will a likely continue with a couple more procedures to achieve that. I also did not want to hack up the stock system and weld on some ghetto rust mild steel pipes among other reasons. I also put more weight on tone than volume. Either way, I'm never seeing anyone do this before to this car, so now we know what it does

[@livebig6414]

@@ExoticCarDIY Yes, I love these videos, I always wanted to see what's inside an AMG muffler as they spend a lot of money on exhaust sound development. But I still don't think muffler delete will make the exhaust sound like Camaro, 5.5 has very deep rumble and turbo whistle, so just deleting muffler will give you deeper tone on high rev's and nice burble on low rpm. Look at new AMG exhaust's, they all have valves that opens mufflers to straight pipes, yes the muffler's still exist, but they damp a lot of sound and when you open valves it's basically becomes muffler delete. Look up on youtube I think some guy called Matty125 or something did just a muffler delete and it sounded awesome. C63 6.2 was the one that had very good back boxes and made the AMG sound unique, but it was naturally aspirated. In your case I would have closed the Y-pipe inside the muffler or made the pipe a little more restrictive and opened a little bit more the area where straight pipe goes, it would be quite similar to what new c63s exhaust looks like inside. But anyway, looking forward to an upgrade/update on E63 as I find exhaust's to be very interesting.

To seal up the perforations on the pipe. That's typically the way a muffler works, sound waves go through the holes in that pipe and get absorbed into a fiberglass material. By putting a clamp over the perforations, you are essentially creating a straight pipe where no sound can get absorbed. This is a popular mod in a lot of different cars, you can also weld a pipe in its place, or actually weld up each individual hole. I prefer the clamp since it's removable and easy If I was to do it again, I would experiment with capping off that smaller pipe that dumps into the muffler. I have a hunch that that may add a bit more sound

Hello has anyone figured out if we clamp the perforated pipe with the clamp what happens to the y pipe inside the muffler. Where does that exhaust go

[@ExoticCarDIY]

Echo chambers are a common muffler design, that's all it is, sound design and resonance, it doesn't go anywhere

[@evanp3239]

So closing that pipe up with the 2.5 band -and removing all the fiber glass and making a. Straight pipe and sealing up the muffler won’t harm leaving that y In there with no escape?

[@evanp3239]

Your running ur car with the clamp and no issues whatsoever? By leaving the y pipe open inside

[@ExoticCarDIY]

@evanp3239 the holes are so small on the outside of that can and the fiberglass is so tightly packed in there, that there is no way there no way there is any airflow movement through it

[@evanp3239]

Ok I appreciate the response, I’m gonna close up my mufflers today and enjoy the great sound. Don’t have to worry about the y pipe. Your car is running good no issues

[@Amg_Trini]

So the resonator delete is no good? I have a 2012 cls63 amg

[@ExoticCarDIY]

I think a resonator delete and this muffler mod would probably sound ideal. However if you had non-catted downpipes, it probably would be too loud. That's the only reason I haven't done the resonator yet, still trying to decide if I want to do down pipes or not.

[@Amg_Trini]

@@ExoticCarDIY I have stock cats, haven’t done downpipes yet

[@ExoticCarDIY]

@@Amg_Trini It all comes down to how much sound you want, the downpipes, resonator, and mufflers all do a part in quieting the exhaust. My plan is to take them out one at a time and stop when I think the sound is right.

[@Amg_Trini]

@@ExoticCarDIY I may start with the resonators and see. I’ve seen a few videos with that done and it’s not to bad.

[@elevatedperformance]

Just put downpipes and leave everything oem

[@RAJohnson713]

How much did you lower your E63?

[@ExoticCarDIY]

I have another video on my channel showing how I lowered it. H&r advertises 0.75 in. But it's actually a little over 2". I'm actually coming up with a way to raise the nose up about half inch. It's a little bit too low

[@OGYELLOW]

@@ExoticCarDIY just front springs and what about rear? How to lower?

[@ExoticCarDIY]

@@OGYELLOW yes, springs in the front, there are two ways to lower the rear. If you have access to somebody with a Mercedes tool, they can dial in the height to request. Otherwise you can do mechanically with "lowering links." Typically found on eBay for about 60 bucks.

[@jimdandy9118]

Just remove the resonator, $200. You will get a growl but not obnoxious. It’s the true AMG sound that you hear with the newer models. Straight pipe where the resonator was, don’t H pipe.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

Do you have any sound clips by chance?

[@jimdandy9118]

@@ExoticCarDIY I just have my C63 sound….the E63 with the resonator removed is almost the same when you open the exhaust on the C63 but doesn’t have the pops. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a resonator on the E63 and C63 starting in 2017 and that’s why the sound is better….I’ve never looked under my C63 to verify that though. I used to dislike driving my 2016 E63 until I removed the resonator

[@S.Madman]

You should have told me you were doing this, I would given you a hand. Let me know the next time you are doing something like this.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

I'll probably leave it this way for a couple months and then do the resonator if I feel like I want a little more sound

[@S.Madman]

@@ExoticCarDIY resonators look identical to mine, and they did nothing. Next step is a total gut out of mufflers. m278's sound almost identical to your m157 with the same exhaust ( same platform). I don't have mufflers on mine. I will have you listen to them. I am warning you though, you will get to meet your neighbors one way or another after removing them.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

@@S.Madman lol, Good thing I don't have any close neighbors lol

[@azmike3572]

Seems like a lot of experimental work for very little audio change. But you tried.

[@XillOverdrive]

Perforations, not Preforations!

[@ExoticCarDIY]

Sorry four my pour preformance, im knot a perfessional lol

[@XillOverdrive]

@@ExoticCarDIY clever 😉

[@iceManSwag]

Delete the resonator for true dual.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

And it'll sound like a clapped out truck

[@Lonnie91a]

Hardly any difference. Maybe a tiny bit.

[@ExoticCarDIY]

You really have to listen to it with a good set of speakers or headphones.. Having said that, it essentially gives the stock sound with a little bit more volume. Either way, it's a very popular mod on a lot of other cars, now you know what it will do to one of these. Obviously you'll get some more if you do the resonator as well

[@janneskrause712]

i didnt here the difference

[@ExoticCarDIY]

Yeah, I kind of explained it at the end. It is definitely different in person, but it is subtle and harder to distinguish using cell phone audio. I'm going to either do the resonator or down pipes next

[@seanstilson5789]

I appreciate watching you but when you’re talking about mufflers please understand that it is called PER-forations! not PREFF-orations when talking about small holes in pipe. Otherwise, rock- on brother!

[@FintasticTC]

Congratulations you just ruined your muffler to make it cheaper you made it more expensive 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

No real change really in the exhaust sound competition.

[@stevenshergill248]

Waste of time just cut the mufflers

[@georgesoni]

Almost no change in sound 🙂 you just wasted time and money. But respect for the effort!

[@tyrussum4779]

Sounds much better stock. Crazy how dong dongs think they can achieve better results with a guess

[@scottd5401]

[@j.bradleyheck1589]

Perforations? English first not your language ? Perforated, perforations !
