    Another C36 Exhaust Thread! but this one will be awesome

    There comes a time in every car enthusiasts life when his car is just too damn.....quiet. I have my Intake from the old C280 on the C36 now, sligtly louder, but not nearly enough.
    I NEED SOME BURBLE IN MY LIFE!!!! On the 94' C280 I had cats to a 14" round magnaflow resonator and universal magnaflow muffler, which i liked alot, a nice deep tone but not too loud. The AMG is a performance car, though, and needs some mean noises to back it up.

    So. Heres the deal. Ive been thinking of some possible exhaust options for the C36 and Ive come down to this as my personal favorite.

    The stock exhaust has too many "Y" pipes into and out of the cats/resonators. (this affects tone ect) I want to simplify it with just one Y off the 2 header downpipes to a 3" SS pipe to the new stuff which I'll detail below. BTW stock AMG pipe is 2.75" which will work well with 3"

    --Catalytic Converter delete...cuz I like the smell of unburnt gas and flames out the exhaust It will add some burble back as well
    --Resonator upgrade. 3" Vibrant SS bottle resonator 12" length.

    --2 1/2" or 3" QTP Electric Cutout I have laying around right after the Vibrant Resonator. AMG res is 24" long, the Vibrant/QTP combo is the same....perfect

    --Oh a 3" SS dump on the cutout

    --Factory AMG muffler for the time being, I like the way it looks, if this combo doesn't sound good ill get a Vibrant rear muffler or something

    Now the idea being that with the cats gone (still debating) and a much smaller resonator to the AMG muffler will provide a much nicer tone with some more volume. And when im feeling crazy I can open up the cutout after the Vibrant resonator for an even louder time (I haven't decided if i want to put the cutout before or after the res. No cats means full straight pipe if I go the "before res" route hahaha!)

    What do you guys think..too quiet, too loud.. just right? suggestions comments concerns? all are welcome and you best believe there will be a video when Im done!
