OKAY GUYS, HELP ME OUT.... i HATE raspy, juvenile-sounding exhausts.
i want to improve the exhaust flow on the SRT, but i don't want that atrocious sound.
ALSO.... I love the exhaust tips from the rear, very 'clean.' i have not looked under the car yet, would it be difficult to keep the same tips?

magnaflow, borla, resonator-delete??????

thanks.

 

Look around for the Allen (I think) aluminum delete installation. It will retain your factory sound, only enhance it.

 

cool. sounds like a good idea, not to mention an 'affordable' idea.

i wonder if anyone has any DYNO numbers for the delete....?

 

I have tired to serch the Allen exhaust idea and it came up with this tread only.

 

Brian Brave did a Y-pip from Burn's Stainless that sounds pretty ballsy.

It's on youtube... look for the blue SRT on the dyno. That's him.

 

I tried to delete the muffler guts and put it back together, finally did a delete and added stainless wye, really opened the breathing a bunch see dyno. Dyno is muffler off and clean-up of the heads gasket matching. I have to do another dyno run with my new pulley - code 3

Enjoy, Woody

 

thanks so much for the info! you guys are great!

 

so waldig im very confused i looked over your gallery and saw that you had the muffler cut out when you say i finally deleted it. does that mean you completely removed the muffler??? i dont want to sound like a amg freak but dont you think the car was designed to run with a muffler? is there something bad that could happen without a muffler?

 

I had my rear cats removed and it improved the sound for the better! My next mod will be the resonator removal this way it'll sound really nice without being too loud and maintaining the stock muffler and tips! So this with a CAI is the sound I'm loving!

 

how much different did it sound after the rear cats were removed and did you throw a code?

 

I thought somebody was designing an exhaust for us that removed the resonator and secondery cats??? Like needswings or BDJ racing(sp)

 

yeah it was a cat back but idk what happened to it ive tried to get an update and i get nothing back

 

Voy,
yea me too, there was alot of talk about it for a while then it disappeared.

 

Needswings started to develope one, but they are a small company and their focus seems to be on their new intake manifolds. Maybe once they are done with that they will focus on the exhaust.

 

Here's a site about the C32 and SLK32 AMG Cars. I may have posted it before but it might be some good reading for new members.

It provides some interesting information about the engine features, supercharger, engine management etc..

What I did find interesting is they claim that the AMG cars come eqquiped with Thin-Walled Ho-Flow Cermaic Catalytic converters.

whats that?

 

Technological refinement also marks the exhaust system. With the exception of the two exhaust manifolds, the complete exhaust system of the C32 AMG and SLK32 AMG have both been redesigned. All four catalytic converters are of ceramic material and feature thin-wall technology. The larger surface areas in the catalytic converters ensure a reduced exhaust backpressure and more rapid heating on a cold start. This benefits both performance and exhaust emissions. The sound escaping from the characteristic, twin-oval AMG tailpipe is also exciting, for the supercharged engine produces a sound with a very special resonance that manages to avoid being irritating.


Hi-Flow CAT standard equipment??

 

im probably wrong here but isnt more back pressure better for a cold start?

 

Voyager; I tried to gut the muffler and did not like the lack of change, it did not go far enough so I deleted it. No there is no issue without the muffler, it is in line with the 2 pairs of cats and the resonator. Just less restriction, which is why I photoed the interior and ALL the stuff in there making it SO heavy. You just dont want to remove the muffler (shell), there has to be some type of pipe to prevent a really odd exhaust note, so I used a stainless wye. There is also a terrific amount of heat energy at that pipe, thus the aluminum heat shield. I had been experimenting for a long time before I even heard of this forum.

Enjoy, Woody

 

Just a little more louder and no code because there aren't any 02 sensors in the rear cats.
