I didn't do the conversion but the car was riding great. In the end though I'm just not the biggest fan of air suspension. But greatly noted if I ever buy a car with bad air suspension, I'll attempt to fix it myself.
Always do the mufflers first, don't chop off more than you are comfortable with at the start because then you can't ever turn back to factory welds etc. Do a little bit at a time, you'll be surprised what a muffle delete alone will sound like. Good luck.
So far, I don’t drive the CLS everyday it’s just an extra car. I love everything about this setup. The more raw exhaust sound I can get out of my vehicles, the happier I am! This one came out amazing, everyone loves this car. 😅😎
Damn bro! Thanks for the in depth look at the whole undercarriage!! Planning on doing this with my 06 cls500. Well just deleting the mufflers, sounds absolutely deadly wide open. Much love from canada :) 🤟🏼
I did not know they had CLS Wagons what the heck I'm gonna look that up right now! This is a must for the FIRST MOD ON YOUR CAR, well worth it, the difference in the exhaust note is night and day.
I'm definitely going to own a newer bi-turbo CLS in the future, I'm also after a G Class Wagon, hopefully an S Class as well. I'm not much of a rover fan, I'm to into FJ Cruisers and G wagons lol, never been into Audis as well, always loved the Mercedes chassis design. They have some of the best looking vehicles, though there is some nice Audi vehicles as well.
Dude, u should look into the 06 E55 AMG, my absolute dream car. Looks like every other sedan on the road, absolutely kicks the shit out of everything that tries to race it 😻
i just purchased a 2010 cls 500 it has a 5.5L engine just getting the x pipe instaled not sure if i should have secondary cats removed aswel, i have heard it doesnt make a difference.
If it didn't make a difference then why did Mercedes spend the time to have these on their vehicles, they do make a difference, I've straight piped so many of my vehicles, I can tell the difference, RAW DAWG it.
@@StreetInfluenced @Street Influenced after having the work completed it has made no difference to performance. Maybe Abit more snappy of the line Definitely sounds nicer but nope. If anything it's lost top end power after work was done, next to no back pressure isn't always a good thing there is a balance hence why Mercedes worked that balance out and we go chopping there calculated engineering out, do your research guys before u go hacking pipe
I’ve had one of this love it I did the same but with glass pack yours sounds better mine was a bit more quiet, now I own a clk500 which I love even more 😂,already did muffler and resonator delete next I’m doing cats delete ☝️🔥🔥
How long ago was this? I don't own this car anymore, but the fuel tank did seem a bit dangerous to me. I wonder if there is any issues with the newer CLS models, because they are very similar body styles as this year. I never felt confident about the car after I even fixed the issue.
Did u smell gas?? I have the same car And when my music guy was putting music in the back he smelled gas on the back passenger seat when he moves to see around maybe mine is doing the same thing
if the Ecu is finicky enough to pick up the flow change it will, but it will adapt after enough drives, check to make sure the 02 sensor wasn’t damaged during modification
I'm gonna agree with you, I think this car is greatly designed, solid vehicle. Aside from the problematic airbags and problem prone sending unit, the motor and transmission in this vehicle is solid. The chassis is very durable. I loved the driving experience, one of my favorite cars. Hope to purchase a newer one in the near future.
Thanks for the visit, I appreciate you checking out my video and my channel helping this grow organically, people who promote positivity in the world like you keep the world going round!
Pretty much what I recorded in my video, we cut off the mufflers, and cut off the middle section resonator , gave it such a nice sound. These motors deserve to be piped who cares what people say! I loved it and 100% recommend other CLS owners doing this mod. if you got a twin turbo later model or supercharged then it'll sound even better.
Yes and no. Make sure the factory air bag struts have been serviced or deleted and replaced with traditional quick strut assemblies. That's the most expensive issue with these cars. Next I would be cautious and check the fuel sending unit cap (usually they crack easily and should be replaced). Finally I'd just check valve cover gaskets as it's a V8, valve cover gaskets are expected to leak over time and age. Other than that, great vehicle! Very smooth power.
Mine was a 2006 I believe, I don't have it anymore, but man I loved this car so much! It was badass, one of the best cars you can find V8 and reliable under 10k. Super fun car to drive, the wind noise level is lowwww because of the aerodynamics.
You're right, car went to a new owner already. I just wanted to use this car to film some videos, always wanted to own a CLS500, will probably end up buying a later (newer) year in the near future. It was one of the best riding cars I've ever driven. Could compare to Lexus ride quality.
Don't be scared lol. I loved mine, hope to get a newer model CLS in the future, but I think I'm gonna go for a G wagon next, that's the only thing I haven't owned besides a S Class.
Air suspension components are no longer expensive to replace. They are quite easy to do since there are many DIY RUclips videos showing how to fix.
I didn't do the conversion but the car was riding great. In the end though I'm just not the biggest fan of air suspension. But greatly noted if I ever buy a car with bad air suspension, I'll attempt to fix it myself.
Where can I get the air ride suspension conversion kit?
@@andrebennett6999eBay
I swapped to coils.
love it! Cls 500 is my dream to be completed in 2-3 years
This was one of the smoother cars I've owned, I really enjoyed owning it. hoping to get a newer model in the near future hopefully!
4:35 for the sound of vehicle
Nice, thanks for checking out my video.
Holy that sounds amazing!
Came out better than I expected I would say. It did sound amazing, I agree with you!
It sounds good!!!! I have 08 ClS550, think I may delete the mufflers first and see how I like it

Man that is gonna drone. You wanna know how I know? Because I have exactly the same car & did exactly the same thing lol.
So far, I don’t drive the CLS everyday it’s just an extra car. I love everything about this setup. The more raw exhaust sound I can get out of my vehicles, the happier I am! This one came out amazing, everyone loves this car. 😅😎
What did you do to fix the drone?
omg it sounds better than a hellcat lmfao, im bout to get this car and cant wait to do this to it..
Sounds soooo bad, I made a POV raw exhaust video driving this car, I just need to get to editing that video and uploading it.
Damn bro! Thanks for the in depth look at the whole undercarriage!! Planning on doing this with my 06 cls500. Well just deleting the mufflers, sounds absolutely deadly wide open. Much love from canada :) 🤟🏼
Yeah that's more like it bro..its a V8 so its gotta sound like a V8.
Getting myself a 2013 CLS500 wagon and this is the first mod I'm gonna do! 🤪
I did not know they had CLS Wagons what the heck I'm gonna look that up right now! This is a must for the FIRST MOD ON YOUR CAR, well worth it, the difference in the exhaust note is night and day.
Just off topic what kinda wheels were on the miata 😅 looked really nice sitting
Not sure, I never really paid attention to that Miata and it's been there for a while. If I see it again I'll check the wheels for you lol
Can u pass smog with deleted mufflers ?
It would be nice to install a cut off valve instead. That way the stock exhaust stays and and at the push of a button you can make it loud.
Hmmmm, I don't care to turn down my exhaust I like the sound 100%. HAHA
I thought only the cls 55s have the push to start on the Shifter . And how is it a 500 and you have amg pipe tips ?
No you can get it on these models as well. AMG package gives you the AMG exhaust.
Yep all 500s with sport/Amg package (In my opinion the best deal for a daily)
The CLS53 & Range Rover Supercharged & Audi A7 on my list to get fingers crossed
I'm definitely going to own a newer bi-turbo CLS in the future, I'm also after a G Class Wagon, hopefully an S Class as well.

You mean cls63 with the big V8😎
Dude, u should look into the 06 E55 AMG, my absolute dream car. Looks like every other sedan on the road, absolutely kicks the shit out of everything that tries to race it 😻
Does anybody know if the muffler delete will sound good without taking out the resonator I don’t wanna be too loud but I want some tone
What wheels & tires are you running bro i love them
i just purchased a 2010 cls 500 it has a 5.5L engine just getting the x pipe instaled not sure if i should have secondary cats removed aswel, i have heard it doesnt make a difference.

I got one the same color. Need them straight pipes done
I’ve had one of this love it I did the same but with glass pack yours sounds better mine was a bit more quiet, now I own a clk500 which I love even more 😂,already did muffler and resonator delete next I’m doing cats delete ☝️🔥🔥
Sounds great! That thing is gonna be crazy without cats, it's gonna sound like a NASCAR ahahahah
There is a recall on the fuel tank, I have the same car and I took it to Mercedes and they repaired it
How long ago was this? I don't own this car anymore, but the fuel tank did seem a bit dangerous to me. I wonder if there is any issues with the newer CLS models, because they are very similar body styles as this year. I never felt confident about the car after I even fixed the issue.

Did your check engine light turned on?
Where you get the coils?
What did you do exactly to it ?
Sounds fkin tough
One of the best sounding exhaust setups, sounded crazy in person also lol.
does chopping off the mufflers turn the engine light on? Thank you in advance
if the Ecu is finicky enough to pick up the flow change it will, but it will adapt after enough drives, check to make sure the 02 sensor wasn’t damaged during modification
No it won't trigger the Engine Light if you are just deleting the mufflers.
Should be fine as long as you maintain some distance from the O2 sensors.
Next best thing to Heckler&Koch German engineering is the best

Any power loss or gain bro? I have the same car
I didn't witness any power loss at all, it sounded great loved doing this to my car! Absolutely felt different driving this thing around 😂
You had to replace parts from straight piping yo CLS??
No, I didn't have to replace anything, we just did custom exhaust and never had any issues. It just sounded badass lol
Nice bro !!
Thanks for the visit, I appreciate you checking out my video and my channel helping this grow organically, people who promote positivity in the world like you keep the world going round!
I can’t decide either Mercedes or BMW as my first car man 😢
What was done to this exhaust ? I’m looking to do this to my own cls
Pretty much what I recorded in my video, we cut off the mufflers, and cut off the middle section resonator , gave it such a nice sound. These motors deserve to be piped who cares what people say! I loved it and 100% recommend other CLS owners doing this mod. if you got a twin turbo later model or supercharged then it'll sound even better.
@@StreetInfluenced Im doing the same to mine, removing the big resonator and put electric exhaust valves before the mufflers.
sounded exactly like mine. miss it
Not to loud?? Right ?? Or too loud In a good way?
@@dezillfluid3496 it was too loud in an awesome way. roared like a beast
Are these expensive to maintain?

@@StreetInfluenced thanks I’m thinking of getting one with 60k miles
What’s your build so far and do you happen to know where I can tune my Cls 500
Suspension, Maintenance, custom setup on my exhaust as you can see.
M113 family 🤌🏾
GANG
What year is your 500
Mine was a 2006 I believe, I don't have it anymore, but man I loved this car so much! It was badass, one of the best cars you can find V8 and reliable under 10k. Super fun car to drive, the wind noise level is lowwww because of the aerodynamics.
pretty sure i saw this car on marketplace

Holy hell🤘🤘
Thanks for checking out my video, I appreciate it.
4700 miles bruh!??? Just getting mine tomorrow but really skeptical
Don't be scared lol. I loved mine, hope to get a newer model CLS in the future, but I think I'm gonna go for a G wagon next, that's the only thing I haven't owned besides a S Class.
@@StreetInfluenced no I ended up buying it! Very happy with my bens 💯❤️
Is this a 2009
Nooo, I think my model was a 2006. I'm looking for a newer year model though, taking my time looking for one. Do you own one of these?
Is that a 5.5 or 5 litre
5
How much was the job???$$
That shit sounds meaaaaaaaaaaan
Sounds like a Bugatti Veyron SS triple deuce XT limited RST-SR
Why are your back wheels so skinny😭 they should be 275 or wider
They aren't that skinny lmao, I never lost traction with these tires. Always distributing power smoothly on the pavement!
At least 295 on the back, 305/30/20 is my size
you need a better camera
My camera is working great thank you.
@@StreetInfluenced lol
Definitely get rid of the AMG on start up. It's not a AMG.
LOL FUNNY>
In Deutschland ist es leider verboten
YOYOYO greetings!
Jesus 🤣 take of the old system and then modify. Looks like some rat services
Um, what?
