I Ruined My Mercedes With This Modification (Muffler Delete was a mistake)

- I loved the tone from the aftermarket exhaust, but I wished it had less bass and no drone at all at highway speed. A muffler delete is always going to have something you don't want from the exhaust, especially on a daily. Unless it's something you want/like! Again didn't want anything really noticeable on this car because its the daily and I already have the CLK W209 loud! I hope you guys pick up something from this video!

Fair play, glad you resolved your issues and are happy again with it. Sounds great with that configuration
Thank you, yes I’m the long run I’m happy with this. Sounds great with revs but stock when driving
@@HeyboysGarage I'm getting the Vibrant Performance Ultra Quiet resonator installed this week. I'm wondering if I should swap out the stock resonator or add the Vibrant somewhere along the exhaust line....🤔 (just to be on the safe side)
i have an 06 c350, looks basically the same as yours stock. What kinda mods could i do to it ya think? This is the first video i could find thats remotely close to my car. So far i took the 2 rear cats off, res delete, and muffler replacement. I wanna do something to the engine but with my knowledge im pretty sure i can only do an intake lol
You can do a ECU tune and possibly a TCU tune as well! gain about 20HP gain and torque. Should wake up the car.
It's funny i've tried almost everything conceivable with my benz exhaust setup and i'm getting ready to try one more setup. But the muffler swap you did is probably the fault of that aftermarket muffler... I remember I put two small magnaflows on the back of my setup and it was actually louder and more droney than straight piping the car. It looks like you used vibrant ultra quiets... which typically don't quiet too much as mufflers they are more of a resonator. Have you tried using larger mufflers to swap? Like a magnaflow or flowfx oval size? Now that you have cut out the resonator and 2nd cats (they actually restrict flow a lot). It will be much louder.
I didn't try using any other mufflers. I didn't want to keep spending money for the sound I was going for on the car. Since it's just the daily! Those two were not cats. They were mini resonators. I mentioned it in the video. It was a straight-through. And cutting those three out didn't change the sound. Only gave it a nice revving sound and a little acceleration tone
@@HeyboysGarage I feel you you don’t want to keep trying new stuff and not know the outcome. Those things in the back even though they look like bottle resonators assist with heating the primary cats so benz and some other companies call them secondary cats. When I took them out on my 550 boy did it open stuff up even more than cutting off the resonator did, I actually put a couple bottle resonators back on there because it was flowing too fast.
i’ve always thought about doing a muffler delete on my c32 amg, thanks for the advice!
For the c32 that would sounds good!
I have a 05 C230 1.8l supercharger, I personally removed the stock muffler and had the shop install a Carven muffler with a new stock looking matte black tip and yes there is a good amount of drone but for being a 1.8l to me it was worth it and sounds amazing.
I bet it does! Mine sounded good also but what I was going for wasn’t it. Louder than i wanted
So the main resonator is still intact you just took off the “ mini resonators” which you thought were secondary cats ?
yeah! I took off the main resonator and the two mini resonators. Only parts left is the muffler and primary cats
I appreciate it! I just got my c230 a few months ago and looking too upgrade it 🔥
Nice! How are you liking it? And have any plans for it yet?
@@HeyboysGarage I love it! Such a beautiful car with a great personality. This is my first car. I'm currently the 3rd owner so for now I'm just looking to work on anything needing work. Currently looking and learning from others and finding what works for me. 😁👍
If you want a good sound without being too loud you should put a short ram intake that may give you the sound you’re looking for
Thats a good point. There is little R&D for these cars on whats in the market for air intakes. You almost have to create your custom intake
@@HeyboysGarage I just threw a Lynn filter on that puppy and called it a day. Who needs intake piping?
I appreciate the info, good to know cutting off the original muffler is a no go
Yeah on these for a daily I wouldn’t really. But something for a track car or a fun car sure might not be too bad because it’s not driven all the time
i took my stock muffler off, replaced it with an aftermarket muffler. Car works great for me as a daily.
@@kadenwright9014what aftermarket exaust do u have?
Salut! Je suis français et je n'ai pas tout compris...
Peux-tu m'expliquer quelle est la meilleure configuration pour avoir un beau bruit mais pas trop bruyant?
Merci 😁
The only way to get sound out of it is to change the muffler to a nice chambered muffler. Just getting rid of all the resonators will give you a nice sound when you rev it but when driving you would have to step on it in order for you to hear it. not much difference.
Still sounds angry when you give it the beans. 🤩😆👍🏾
Just got my C230 back from the shop fully sorted. Next on the agenda: Lowering.😁
It does when you rev it! You can hear it a little under load when driving. Which how are you going to lower yours?
@@HeyboysGarage Coo'. For lowering, I'm lookin' at the Megan Racing Green Euro Series Coilover kit.
@@HotMike how much is that kit?? I know a good kit made in Germany for our cars. Good price as well. here is the link let me know what you think www.ebay.com/itm/363038586372
I've gone for the Koni Str.r shocks with H&R sport springs
@@HeyboysGarage The Megan Racing Kit is $750 USD. The eBay kit is really nice and cost is easy on the wallet!
Try a mini magnaflow for the rear muffler, gives it a really raspy deepness
That would be a lot of spending since I have already gone a head and put the AMG muffler back.
Everyone has different taste I love mine hella loud and is my daily but I hear it sounds really good how u did it just the muffler and some headers
Thats for sure! I've got the CLK for that sound! This I would like to have something more stock sounding so I have both worlds
Good sharing my friend..
No problem, 🤘🏾
B boy - why you mean to amg? Tint your windshield like a boss
B boy! soon! And I wish this was an AMG lol
Hello, do you notice drone at any speed or RPM after resonator delete?
Just on high way. a small frequency. when playing music you don't hear it
I have an cls 350bensin 2005 can i cut the mufflerrs or only to cut the resonator thank you 👍
For exhaust stuff it really depends. If you want to hear a difference then the muffler. The resonator wouldn't really do much on the smaller engines
Now sounds good 👍
Thanks! I think so also!
is the exhaust pipe size on a clk550 2.5 or 3.0?
Good question, I’m not sure! Check in the forum or from 550 owners that have done exhaust modifications
yooo, what are those wheels? they look amazing
They are amazing! Thanks, They are from Circuit Performance CP30!
what are those wheels called? they literally look perfect on a w203 c-class
They are perfect! I miss them! They are circuit Performance CP30
At least you understood that removing the exhaust wasn't the best idea ;-)
😏 yeah we all learn at some point
can you say something about w209, bc i want to buy it as first car with 3.0 petrol or diesel
The m112 v6 engine will be a very good w209
@@HeyboysGarage okey, thank you
@@HeyboysGarage how you rate install LPG to it? it is good idea?
I Have a E klass 3.5 09 AMG what worked for Me was ECU Tune. Hood forced induction intake from rear intake of Hood. delete Resonator its very as well. Secondary Cats deleted Straight pipe replaced. Left Both AMG Muffers but Placed Two Custom Stainless Steel Bi Pass pipes 1 3/4 inch curved pointing downward. Really only go into effect Under heavier Load Givingvand impressive Tone. currently producing 340 HP only run High Octang.
That’s pretty impressive for that motor. Who tuned yours?
I just got a c230 sport last Monday bro you should do a window tint video I have same color and wheels it’s just the previous owner had his a lil dropped like an inch or 2 I am second owner
yeah I plan on tinting the back passenger windows! Before I do the windshield I think it will be best to replace it first before tinting it!
Could I just cut off the muffler and leave it like that?
@@TheSilverBenz Yeah you can do that!!
Thanks bro
Welcome
Sounds perfect! I’ve heard after secondary cat delete there’s a stronger smell of fuel in the car have you noticed this?
My car didn’t have a secondary cat just primary resonators . It has only primary cats, resonators and a muffler. I explain it in the videos on the exhaust modifications
@@HeyboysGarage your’s car don’have secondary cat
@@narapetmese5080 no it doesn’t just resonators
@@HeyboysGaragethose are the secondary cats bud
@@ZJSpellman Not on this car, they are mini resonators. I know weird!
Man, that Rod Knocks sounds Bitchin......
lol
mini resonators lol Those are secondary cats... Previous owner probably gutted them or the innards yeeted it's self out
I heard from other c230 owners that they are mini resonators. It didn’t have secondary cat materials in it. It has a carbon fiber material in it like what a resonator would have. It’s probably different on the c32 AMG is my guess
Que llantas son y que medida?
After doing that, what happen to the fuel economy
Didn’t really pay attention!
Yeah the problem with a V6 when you start going too loud with the exhaust is that they start sounding like a trombone. What you've done there is spot on 👌
Exactly! And yeah what I ended up with was perfect 👍🏾
Hello, do you feel drone at any speed or RPM with resonator delete?
You wanted a low profile exhaust that sounds good when you open her up....I totally understand
Pretty much!
What wheels you got ?
Circuit Performance CP30
Truthfull mine sucks I like the look but to many issues to much money just to get it running smooth I’ve changed my entire front end and it still shakes might be the bushings that’s the only thing I haven’t changed
Probably… check that’s. Are you on the stock wheels also?
Ooohhh yeeeaaaa sounds nice 👍
They do sound good!
which exhaust for c230 u have? amg?
AMG
@@HeyboysGarage and more specifically?
😭 where are the rear motor mounts ? Might sound crazy but just asking
The engine mounts for the engine?
@@HeyboysGarage yea my bad had mine expected at the Benz dealership they told me that. but didn’t send a video of them explaining so I’m thinking they were just trying to get some money out of me
@@marcusm9206 there are two engine mounts and a transmission mount. Usually after sometime they go bad from the high torque from the car. But the non AMG or 500 cars aren’t that quick so it take longer before they go out. But when they go bad that’s when you would have to change it. Maybe that’s what they were trying to do on yours.
@@HeyboysGarage looking at the paper now it says rear engine/ transmission mount replacement
@@marcusm9206 so it needs a new transmission mount
Why would you take off the amg exhaust
Well it’s back on it
Sounds good not to loud
Go with reference from the manufacture never do kind of own formula and think it might be exclusive 😁
So keep stock if that’s what you are saying?
Mine sounds great with resonator and secondary cat delete and vrp headers.
I beat headers are game chargers on Exhaust sounds
what are those wheels?
Circuit performance CP30
Hell nah, no Mercedes should ever sound like a ricer😂
Facts!
Might want to try, delete the muffler and add a 19inch glass pack
Might sound good
Hmm I might do this. I use mine as a daily. My expedition, when it was a daily at the time had a mishap with the exhaust (easy fix in a minute) and kept it loud. Drone was real. Fun at first but as a daily... Maybe not.
Thought about straight piping the C230 but I also read online some saying to not do it as power could be lost with the supercharger and instead suggested to do a resonator delete as it's not as drastic as a straight pipe. Got the C230 Kompressor.
Also it still sounds nice. Might do this and thinking of doing so stuff to make the supercharger louder, which I might do eventually. I want loud but not drone loud. Gotta find the balance lol
Great Video!
Thanks man! A resonator is a straight through so sound wise you might get something when revving the engine. But yes i get what you mean with these kinds of modifications
“It still sounds stock”
Well with such misplaced expectational dumbassery,? It’s that way because it’s STILL stock….😂 smh
You want something that sounds good and not too loud get a brabus muffler.
Now that would be bad ass! Taxing tho
Just cut the stook muffler straight pip and you get that sounds those Mercedes already made for racing luxury that's why it doesn't make the sound that much when you delete the pipes
I did get rid of the muffler in the beginning. It wasn’t what I was going for. Check out more of the exhaust videos it will all make sense
Dude is just a crybaby. I'm used to my daily being a rat rod with a small block and 12 inch straight pipes off the headers. Just did a muffler delete on my wife's c230 yesterday while I was swapping the starter. Car sounds BEAUTIFUL! Wife and I both love it, so it's staying how it is. This guy is just a pussy
That’s what I have amg pipes
nice! AMG package
0:36 they are the secondary cats, car won't pass emissions without them
Not on this car. They were straight through resonator. Also quick tip if you take off secondary cats from your car/any car it will pass emission. Now If you take off primary cats that’s when you won’t pass
Rice rice baby
Thanks! 🤘🏾
Mine sounds exactly like the hellcat. Dull stainless exhaust
That’s crazy, what’s your setup?
The stock muffler also looks better more classy and OEM, I’d never trade and AMG tip for aftermarket. Still the best C class in my opinion #w203
Yep you are right lots of people said to keep the AMG muffler! Anyways it’s one of the best c class chases
Just so you know your resonators are designed to take away drone sound
That’s correct very tiny drone frequencies , but compared to a muffler there is a big difference.
😢 I can't imagine your expectations if the AMG muffler didn't sound good to you...
Can’t go wrong with the AMG muffler’s! I was experimenting
I recommend VW pea shooters. They are the best.
Car is sold now
Is c class not clk
My bad C class*
@@HeyboysGarage sorry bro I misread the description, I read clk but then I saw the video of the clk, nice class c
I hear a knock like mine why do these cars do that?
I have no clue. When mine started I was nervous. I looked at all the forums and everyone has it also and they have driving 30k+ miles and the car still runs good. So I’m not exactly sure. I stopped worrying about it
My 07 w211 350 has a light Knock
Why won’t these cars redline?
Probably have to get a tune to redline. Mine touches the redline and then shifts when I use the kick down button
dude if its not a 5.5 v8
what and why are u even bothering doin this...
u wont see any power gains
and it will sound like a lawn mower...
irs a 6 bruh.....
not a v8..
me myself i have the s550
and a c63 amg common fam.
If you watched videos leading up to this it will make sense to why I did it. Not for power.. or gains... and I know its a v6
Why are you telling a grown man what to do to his car?
I have the same car 2007 black put turbo on it i put one for 3000$ the car now has 420hp realy fast now
Wow! And yours is the m272 engine??
