Yes, that's right, in this video I compare 20 different C63 exhaust setups thanks to my awesome friends on Instagram! (@sam.amg). Seriously, thanks for the sound clip submissions to make this video possible! Hope this helps you guys out when deciding how to modify your C63 exhaust, it's a great sounding car and there are so many ways to enhance that sound. Some are simple and relatively cheap, others are... not!

Great video very comprehensive. What is it about the end mufflers in the c63 that make them so popular? I have these mufflers on my e550 coupe and they do as you say produce just the right amount of sound with absolutely no drone... I am tempted to remove them however because I want more volume they do muffle a lot of sound. I was looking for a similar design but more volume.
The FI mufflers sound the best next to stock.
This video is gold! I have an edition 507 on h pipe + resonator delete and it sounds crazy enough for me. Any chance you can do an exhaust video for the other AMG v8s? Say like M113k, M157, and M177

@@SamAbraham That would be amazing if we can build an archive of the sounds of AMG v8s before they go extinct.
Interestingly on the S63 there's only 1 set of cats (no secondary cats) stock, but they might be more restrictive, since at the end of the day it sounds like a C63 with a resonator delete only. Mind you I'm basing this on what I'm hearing in these videos. Also those who say they don't have drone without the resonator should try to keep a steady 2000 rpm under load with a hot exhaust. In that scenario there's some drone, which might get annoying (but you won't get that in normal every day driving). Also great video comparing the exhaust setups!
@SamAbraham

Its quite interesting how much M156 exhaust setups differ between chassis, my ML63 also doesn't have any secondaries. Even if you delete secondaries on the ML, however, its STILL quieter than a stock C63. Glad you enjoyed the vid!
I went the straight pipe route by deleting the secondary cats. Everything else is stock. Great sound under acceleration but sounds stock at idle.

i own a c63 black series special edition number 7 of 60 world wide was made for a exclusive invite order offer in 2015 i was the last of he naturally aspirated models my car has no super charger but a few other tricks and mods internally to get these numbers without turbo or supercharger ,i had both cats removed only and a special custom titanium downpipe and mid pipe kept stock res and the mufflers and i can tell you that i've yet to hear a louder car than mine it has such a beautiful sound and after i tuned it i got the car to 440kw at the wheel that hits close to 700 hp now thats not supercharged it is a 10 second car now on quarter mile 10.7 0-100 3.0 sec , i also did the same to my friends car but he got the army rix downpipes with same both cats and kept res and it sounded allot better then any other exhaust and without the add on of headers, the c63 black series and 507 stock headers are very good as is and swapping them to get maybe 10 hp more and not much a diff in sound and loudness is a waste you don't need it you can make it even more louder by taking res but tbh don't do it its not pleasant to drive if its ur daily any questions happy to ask ,, i don't have a KZread or page for my cars but i can dm some sound clips and vids o show

@SamAbraham

That's a good idea, I'll just have to think about how to present the tunes. Might be hard to properly depict the differences u know? Hard enough to get exhaust sounds to come across accurately through video haha
I got c63 performance package , it got turned. Afew years ago I removed 2nd cat and put straight pipe, it sounds like stock but alot louder when press down,so happy . After a while I wanted to replace resonator with straight pipe too . The muffler man said don't touch it but I wanted to try .the result after 5 minutes test drive with straight pipe 2nd cat and resonator . No no no,it's less noise , it's less amg rumble sound , and I asked him to put the resonator back right after that _ I paid him double for nothing🤣. In my opinion, straight pipe the 2nd cat is cheap and simple but get the big big change. I got a few advices that if I want it louder with the same tone , also remove the primary cat . And It will cost to tune the car again. Too loud is easy to get in trouble with the police. Still thinking 😀

I currently have ARH with sport cars stock resonator and mufflers. I been thinking full ARH set up but I really want to keep the stock mufflers. I was thinking maybe have a local shop replace my resonator with X and H pipe to see what it sounds like and also dyno both to see what gives more gains. Once I decide one or the other I want to replace the 2.75 stock pipes immediately after the ARH set up with 3 inch piping connected to the stock mufflers and why not 3inch tips. How that sounds and dyno it as well 🤔🔊

Do you have any evidence there is an X pipe within the secondary cat setup? I am under the impression they are two separate spun cats, simply contained together with one heat shield, so no direct cross over of the two banks (There is a small H pipe in the resonator)
MBH headers with stock 2nd cat, res and muffler. Does it sound nice?
