Love that model mercedes. I know the feeling of getting your dream car, there is no better feeling of accomplishment. The muffler delete gave it just enough rumble without being obnoxiously loud or raspy.
@@zeke7515 I know of two Americans that would complain but every other one wants loud. Even if it's supposed to be civilised and not loud, they'll find a way to make the car scream. Why? No idea.
@@TheInja Yeah my old boss gave me an earful when I told him I was going to replace my entire exhaust on my stage 3 tdi golf. "You're going to defile that brilliant piece of German engineering to straight pipe it?!" "No, it's gonna have a resonator and high flow cat... But it's going to sound straight piped" Hahaha
I just did the muffler delete on my 2008 burgandy SL550 but instead of rewelding the stock tips I went with a single brushed stainless tips because I had the shop use 3” diameter stainless mandrel piping because with the stock tips it reduced the diameter considerably and didn’t want to choke the exhaust flow. It sounds so mean especially when going wide open throttle but still reasonably quiet when off the throttle. Now I want to change the cat back piping to a full 3” mandrel bends.
Hey brother I’m new to the channel I have a 2007 Mercedes SL 550 I absolutely love my car and I hope you love yours too it’s beautiful can’t wait to cut the mufflers on mine
i'm really shocked how well it sounds without mufflers!!! VERY NICE! .. I LIKE! *BORAT* 👌 Not overbearing at all! BTW did i hear a dash cam in the car.... next weeks episode ... Inja's crazy car videos!!!!!
O completely agree! I loved the project, but hated the ending. What's the point of removing the external amplifier to keep it stock, and then modify the exhaust?
At least you live in CA and CA is a Desert and they never use Salt on the roads in CA so your cars don't turn to dust infront of your eyes like here in Ohio.. I pay 20/month X 2 so that I and my wife can get unlimited car washes and undercarriage wash to keep all the GD Salt off my cars.
"Removing this one part makes your Mercedes sound like an American Muscle car!" _(Vaguely placed red circle with a yellow arrow pointing at it.)_ I'm surprised it's so calm sounding naturally, until you give it the juice. Any boosted performance plans in the near future?
Yeah, once you get used to it you'll be wanting more but it's very quick now so might take a while. I'm thinking about what I can do cheap to my 06 Charger RT to give it more power without destroying the reliability. I did all kinds of things to my Dart cheap back in the day to make it faster and handle better with mostly factory parts from newer and older versions of the platform it was built on. Of course now I want a 5.7 hemi for it😉
personally i think you would be happier with resonators replaced with a couple magnaflow mufflers. Resonators tend to give a weird "flappy" noise in my opionion
Soooo glad you said this!!! I really want this sound but without the "flappy" noise when you lift your foot. Thought I was the only one bothered by it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Welcome to SL550 club, your car looks amazing. I too am a recent proud owner of this fantastic looking & fun vehicle . I have a cosmetic issue that I was hoping with all of your experiences you might be able to suggest a solution. It’s the 2 pieces of black plastic trim on either side of the rear window. They are badly weathered , any thoughts? I have pictures but cannot arachnid.
@@TheInja I tried to obtain replacement parts and to my surprise both Mercedes US & Canada are out of stock with no idea of when they will get some. We are left with DIY solution. I believe given the out of stock issue that many more SL550 owners are having similar issues. Please give some thought to doing a video on the subject showing both the wrap and paint solutions. Long time fan, Tony in Canada
@@TheInja Wow I was having problems with my UA-cam. My notifications I didn't know that you are the same person. Building the McLaren. You got definitely talent, man. I love your videos.
Does the resonator delete allow you to hear more pops when letting go of the gas after hitting let's say 3000 rpm? I have an SL500 with muffler delete, sound is great, just want more pops, so was wondering if resonator delete will do the trick. Thanks!
Not really. I’ve had a r129 that had the muffler and resonator removed. I would only here pops when shifting gears in a high rpm, and it was normally one or top pops. Nothing crazy. Now removing the cats would be a different story, but I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
Hmm.. As an engineer I say noise is energy wasted, as a speed/acceleration freak I don't care, how does it go, but as me.. Sorry, I personally prefer a less agricultural sound! Mind you, that particular Merc has caught my eye, even though I'm more of a 'pocket rocket' lover, small and fast is where it's at for me.. A Lotus Elise or a PGO buggy with a 600/750cc motorbike engine is more my thing for a 'go out for a quick blast'. Top end is nothing, acceleration is where it's at!
I noticed the California plate. Have you smogged it after the muffler delete? I’m wondering if it will pass…. Also have you noticed any performance difference?
Muffler has no effect on emissions. Just noise. As long as you have catalytic converters still and no check engine light for O2 sensors failing or misfires it will pass.

Sounds like a v8 now gorgeous. I love how he kept the factory exhaust tips on it, looks factory that's awesome.
Are you implying it doesn’t have a v8 cuz it does, or are you saying stock stock doesn’t sound like v8

@@zeke7515 I kept the mufflers in the event I want it back to stock. I enjoy the quiet ride, but equally as much sounding like a race car.
At least you didn't go to "Mexico" for the before and after test and it was an actual private road too, props to you 👍

Amazing Sound.. i Love the SL550 AMG

Thanks!

Sounds like my SL55 with the stock AMG mufflers after after you removed your mufflers
Do you hear a drone on the freeway at cruising speeds?. This is my only concern and it's stopping me from doing this.
YOU LUCKY DUCK! Fantastic Mercedes! Sounds epic! Wish mine sounded like yours! Effort=Reward! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
that's what i do with all my cars. Cheap and sounds great. Currently driving a 2010 STS V8 with Muffler delete and Resonator delete sounds amazing.
Just got a 2003 this week.
Surprisingly mild for just cats and resonators. Sounds good. Your lucky there was no droning as that can be a real annoyance on the freeway. Nice job!
I was planning to add mufflers for that reason, but actually sounds really nice without them!
It's roar is no longer muffled.
i'm really shocked how well it sounds without mufflers!!! VERY NICE! .. I LIKE! *BORAT* 👌 Not overbearing at all! BTW did i hear a dash cam in the car.... next weeks episode ... Inja's crazy car videos!!!!!
Yep! Roll a dashcam in every car!
Love the new Exhaust notes, i think you should do a "badge delete" on that fake Renn tech badge lol.
Hahaha
Can’t wait for the new video btw love that exhaust node sounds wicked
Thanks for the heart man appreciate it ❤️
Dawn of the BEAST... that sounds great...
Not bad. I like the front lights.
I guess I never understand the logic of buying a luxury car that is supposed to run smooth and quiet and then making it the opposite. You do you!
It's still not too bad. No drone and can barely hear it at cruising. Still has the stock cats and stock resonators.
@@TheInja Like I said, you do you! Just be aware it is law to have them . . . Love watching your projects!

Does sound good. Not as good as my Thunderbird with TOR pipes, mind. But it will do :p

Is it only loud when u step on it .. how is the cabin noise .. I don't want it to be to loud
It doesn't bother me at all, and I don't like drone at any level.

Can you explain the noise is energy wasted theory because I thought with less exhaust resistance it would slightly increase torque and hp
@@mwlagana The energy has already been wasted, less exhaust resistance is good, you are correct

Muffler has no effect on emissions. Just noise. As long as you have catalytic converters still and no check engine light for O2 sensors failing or misfires it will pass.

Not to pass inspection with no mufflers
