What happens when you unbolt the exhaust on a W220 S430?! Straight Pipe?! *LOUD*

Inspired by one of my favorite automotive youtubers, Parker Nirenstein of Vehicle Virgins I decided to “straight pipe” my Mercedes S Class. It was insane.... I obviously immediately returned it back to stock.

Car looks very bad you should definitely sell it
I’ll get right on that 😂
Hey A.A. do you still have your E500? I wanna know if its reliable & worth the maintenance because i found one for $1,500 with 147k and i just wanna make sure its a good buy.
Bulletproof engine, just horrible on gas.... E350 not sure about the 320.
I get 16 city 23 highway mpg.
You mean business
Amazing car. Could you give us the code number for the paint? i love it
The car looks great man! It’s funny that we have so many of the same problems lol mine has the coil over conversion as well! It rides phenomenally. I’m getting the conductor plate on the trans replaced on Tuesday then hopefully she’ll be mint for years to come!
I’m yet to have a transmission issue, I’m sure it’s coming.
@@automotiveapprentice I’m excited to get her all fixed. It’s been years since I had a car that I actually enjoy driving
@@automotiveapprentice I hope not brother
The best petrol engine Mercedes have ever made.
I love reading that about the car I just got
About to go get an 03 e500 clean body one owner starts and runs but doesn’t move. Needs a transmission, probably a radiator. Also have to fix the suspension but for the price I feel it’s hard to pass it up especially for the asking price.
06 e500 amg 138k miles for 4,000$ and I thought I stole mine until I saw this comment section haha
Love a blue interior!
Bro the fact that you’re from Jersey and I just got an e500 in a trade 🤣 you still got it?
Yes, I do still own the car. It’s in South Carolina with me now. I plan to make a video of the car at some point. It’s much different now.
@@automotiveapprentice how many miles she got now?
@@automotiveapprentice may I ask how reliable it is? I just got one in a trade and it has 136k on the clock. How many miles does yours have. Any major issues since you’ve had it?
@@KeepItC1assicit’s at 198k. Never left me stranded. I posted an update on the car last night.
W211s are excellent cars. I have an E55 and just picked up an E500 lowered on coilovers with AMG wheels, E55 front and rear bumpers, and C63 quad tips out back. They’re fun and good looking cars.
I have the 03 . Love it
Hey, Thomas! Give us that update. What's going on with the car? Looking at an E500 wagon and have this nagging feeling I'd be getting into more than I'd want problem-wise.
that blue interior is beautiful, and super rare! love the car man… these are awesome! i have an 05 E320 and it’s got some stuff that needs fixing but nothing too bad.
Yep mine looks exactly like this but with a 4 cylinder
It was really fun. There is a video of it doing a burnout on here too.
i have one with panoramic roof
... ONE OF THE BEST ENGINES EVER MADE E500 W211 ....... 5,000 cc and about +300 hp
Phenomenal color combination. This has to be an insanely rarely optioned combo!
I have a 2003 Mercedes benz E500 with 144000 miles suspension bad changing over to BC struts to give it a good stance I enjoy the car,your's look Amazing!!! 😊
I picked up my 2005 e500 for $6900 with 47k miles salvage title works like brand new
Did this particular model have the balance shaft issue?
Not on these. The M113 is a good engine. Still going strong at 198k.
Thinking of buying a 2005 CLK 500 cabriolet with some drivers rear quarter panel damage. Tree fell on it. Still drivable. Top works. 117,000 miles for $1,500
I plan on buying the same exact year for 2200 with 131k Miles I hope I get it saving now for it 🤞🏾
I just inherited a 2005 C240 with 149k miles from my mom. Immaculate condition .She bought it new and had it serviced and ALL work done at the Anaheim Hills Mercedes dealership. I am one lucky guy, but I'm thinking of selling it to Carvana since I have my Mazda 3 hatch....
Привет, друг, я пишу из росии , у меня с 230 амг пакет, просто класс ,ка с тобой связатса?
How much of the car was covered by the rain? I’m looking into buying a flooded c200
Hi, Tom. I'm in the process of buying one these. What sort of things do you look to upkeep on this car mainly?
If you did buy it, make sure to do your basic maintenance. Check the engine mounts and make sure they’re good. If the car has airmatic suspension keep that in mind, it’s not if it breaks, it’s when.
I found your video very motivated keep on doing what you doing man🇯🇲
Good job I just brought a 2007cand I’m going to fix mine up more
'promo sm' 😥
sweet ride! wished got an e-class especially an e500 for 2 grand!
Hi, where is this junkyard located. I’m from Queens New York. I’m looking for suspension parts for my 1985 w123 benz wagon particularly the levelling suspension parts, do you know someone or somewhere I could find these parts, used good condition parts are fine with me, also looking for mechanical/interior parts of my wagon. Thanks, hope you could help me with this one😊
very good!!
Dude no way this is the pick n pull I always go to. it’s a pretty tiny lot compared to the other pick n pulls . I actually grabbed the badge off of that stanza u looked at
I frequent the yard. I have an old Mercedes so I always need something 🤣 Figured I could make some content out of it. I see others doing it.
I have the exact same one! I’ve replaced all air bags and air bag motor twice, instrument cluster all rotors and three of the four arms! Just to show you how much I love the car 🚙
Note there was no Silverado either lol
My bad.
Note they did not challenge the dodge
They knew they’d lose.
Don't worry about the car. Most important you are in good health and alive, you will buy another one, soon.
I am currently driving a 2003 E500. I love the older Mercedes much more than the newer.
Turn your fkn background music down
At least I am not the only one guy who likes to save old wrecks from the scrapyard. I own a W211 2004 and had a lot of work for it and had to do a engine swap and many more. Nice car and keep up the work man, the W211 if treated properly will repay you în full.
It is still going with 182k miles on it now, not without some issues. Airmatic has been killing me. I have to make an update video on it.
I always wanted one this color combination or the white with the blue interior, you have a beautiful car for sure !
I am yet to see a white over blue w211. I plan to actually build one some day.
One year only blue interior color, for the W211 very rare.
I believe it was available for 2003 and 2004
@@automotiveapprentice I have the 2003-2009 Mercedes w211 E class brochures and it was available only in 2003.
@@DieselPurge I actually keep track of blue interiors I find and I have an 04 on my list, silver over blue. Here’s the vin, feel free to search it. WDBUF82J04X162405
@@automotiveapprentice I looked up the VIN and looked at the 2004 brochure and you're right, blue was available for 2003/04 I stand corrected 👍 I have a 05 e320 cdi
Cool 👍
I have a 2005 Mercedes c240 with 265k miles on it and drives like the day I bought it!
If I had realized it was just the conductor plate I would have fixed it and kept driving it. They’re good cars that if taken care of can go far!
Yo I’m buying a e500 and I want to upgrade it as well. I’m picking it up in jersey to bring it to NY. Wanna help me upgrade it? Or suggest any parts I could do to upgrade it.
Did you end up getting the car? I have actually relocated to South Carolina. I will be updating the channel with an update on my E500. A lot has happened to the car. Some good, some not so good.
thinking about getting a E500 Lorinser Edition 5.0L V.8 going for $6,900 looks super nice and clean but has high miles 189,591 do you guys thing it’s worth it ? will the engine at least last me 2 more years ? just tryna buy something rn for a daily
clean title too btw and i think this edition is rare had like 4 previous owners
The one in North Carolina? If you get it let me come check it out and collab. I live in South Carolina now. It looks like a solid car.
So I'm trying to but my first car and I'm low on funds. But I have the same car near me for 2,200 in similar condition. I just wanted to ask how much did you end up spending on the car?
Quite a bit. I don’t have the actual numbers but a lot of stuff I did wasn’t 100% necessary at the time but I wanted to fix it all. I know I am late responding to this comment but if you have purchased the car just gradually fix it up. It’s also better to try and do some of the work yourself.
do you still own it? if so how’s it going?
I still own it. Update video coming soon.
I recently purchased a 2005 e500 with the amg sport package for 1300!. 155k. She was slammed on the ground, air pump not working. Replaced the airpump relay and it came to life!
