Thanks guys for all your input! I think Im going to try first just removing the 25 lb resonator and have a Y flange made for it and run straight pipe to the rear muffler. I read a few like the sound, especially Mercedes SLK 32 owners and say it makes it sound like a true AMG sound! Not like a muscle car or rice burner sound, but sutle deep rumble sound. quiet rumble when idling and nice smooth power sound when opened up. Just enough to let people know I aint got no rubber band under the hood! Again thanks guys! Great forum!!
