My 2014 CLS63 S AMG has the resonator removed and an X pipe welded in place of it. The thing is, the car is so insulated I can't enjoy the sound. Those behind me can hear it just fine, but again, the car is so insulated and quiet inside I kind of wish it was even louder so I can hear it. Anyway, lots of fun regardless. Nice videos.
Hello KillerHertz! I have 2012 CLS63 and really enjoying your content, very informative and pleasure to watch👍. I do have little channel too with some entertaining CLS63 videos. You are welcome to watch and comment. Let me know what you think 🙂
Yep it does, as per the video after speaking to multiple (3) exhuast specialists there is no need for it. Its just Mercedes covering their backs encase of issues at anytime between the 2 banks of the V8.
Im wondering. My 63 S sounds like that. Aggressive barks on upshifts and ridiculous backfires/pops on downshifts (almost like a shot gun shot lol). Do you know if the S was fitted with a different exhaust system?
does this mod affect the interior noise level? ie with all windows closed whilst cruising. I have an e63 with the 5.5ltr Biturbo, and an SL500 with the 4.7 ltr Biturbo.both just a little too quiet for my liking.
@@killerhertzmercedes Well said ...''slightly louder however there is no droning'' ...some people seem to think that is impossible. Well ,, one person ..
@@tippy35075 yes you're correct, the reason for an H or X pipe is to smooth out the V8 pulses, as a side benefit you get slightly improved scavenging. I don't have a crossover on my V8 either & there is a bit of a chuffing sound at idle, but I can live with that as it gives the true traditional V8 sound everywhere else in the rev range.
Gotta disagree about droning. Had a few Merc V8s and only one AMG. The non AMGs are pretty much silent at motorway speeds. The AMG is not, I like the sound but to say it doesn't drone is not true.
KillerHERTZ Mercedes Modifications The 5.5V8. You must be able to hear a huge difference in engine noise alone at 2k on the tach between a 63 and an S500?
KillerHERTZ Mercedes Modifications Cool. Where are your based? Would like your thoughts on head unit replacement and quotes for an install amongst other things. I’m in MK.
How many people who tune in to a video about a CLS 63 give a toss about your hair? Why should this be one of the first things we hear about?…. Blip the throttle a few times, that’s one of the first things we want to hear about…
This video was created during Lockdown, a time when we were unable to visit barbershops. it's called engagement with your audience. I'm glad you must have enjoyed the video as you felt the need to comment, and you enjoyed the engine noise later on during the video.
Another great vid, thanks for the effort you put into these!
Hey Killerhertz
Any chance on sharing where you got the front lip for your cls?

Thanks for the creds;)
Gotta get this done
next videos : change the puddle light on side mirror and reverse light to LED :)
Very informative! Morgan

superb video
so you kept the silencers closet to the tips intact?
Yes, only removed the centre resonator.
I'm going to do this mode for sure)
I’ve heard people tell me taking the center resonator off takes the original sound of the car away, I have a cls 63 Amg S have you noticed that?
Is there any loss of torque ??
No change at all. if anything you would gain as its less restricted.
@6m00s roughly: The stock box appears to have a cross-over pipe built-in (?). So you've perhaps deleted the cross-over.
Yep it does, as per the video after speaking to multiple (3) exhuast specialists there is no need for it. Its just Mercedes covering their backs encase of issues at anytime between the 2 banks of the V8.
Did your garage weld the new pipes or use clamps.? Cheers.
Welded.
Im wondering. My 63 S sounds like that. Aggressive barks on upshifts and ridiculous backfires/pops on downshifts (almost like a shot gun shot lol). Do you know if the S was fitted with a different exhaust system?
Different software in the ECU which adds the pops & bangs
Yes you have the performance exhaust option from the factory
0:28 I forgive you

Hi, yes it sounds slightly louder however there is no droning.

Braaaappppp
Does this violate the warranty? I want to buy one used cls63 and get extended warranty.
I would have thought so, yes.
Did i just find Mario at 5:11?
is there no engine lights coming on if you do this?
No CEL appears.
Where did you buy your rear diffuser ?
Just off eBay.co.uk - from a Chinese seller.
Does sound better but like all the CLS V8 resonator deletes I've listened to it makes a strange flappy noise on the overrun.
The overrun sound is what most people aim for :)
@@killerhertzmercedes yeah I understand the popping bit which I like but it also makes a strange flapping noise which I'm not keen on.
@@phil955i My only thought is It could be because there isn't a h pipe joining both side of the exhaust together like with the resonator

@@phil955i I should have done a h pipe on the last V8 Mercedes I owned, I was lazy and left it stock
Hey, I have the same model, how easy is it to do that?
Should take any decent garage less than an hour.
KillerHERTZ Mercedes Modifications ok great, thanks
any drone?
Check what I say in the video :)
if you will have a 50k subscription will you do an episode wearing Mario Bros costume?
Haha, Yes if you come along as Luigi mate

We will have to agree to disagree. I've owned 2 and neither have droned. Which AMG did you have?

@@gottliebdee263 never been in a 500, I am referring to AMGs as per video
@@killerhertzmercedes No worries. Well, to my ears the AMG cars as nice as they are, drone. Maybe I'm used to quiet cars too much.
I have a CLK55 AMG with the resonator deleted...there is no droning ,,,but you can just hear the exhaust when cruising whereas before it was silent.
Sounds great! Can anything be done for my SL350 V6 to improve the sound?
Hi, Yes have this done to your car.
