WANT AN X-PIPE? CLICK THE LINK BELOW! amzn.to/30CMjvN A 2014 Mercedes E-550 coupe with an X Pipe and Straight Pipes!! POWERFUL!! Comment below with your thoughts & questions! Subscribe for more awesome car content!
Referring to the E550 w the Natural 5.5 V8, I have heard some keep the rear mufflers intact to maintain back pressure, delete the center resonators/secondary cats, and just x pipe there. Wondering if just doing the center X pipe will be enough to get a good sound?
Yea it would be smart to keep some back pressure for low end torque since it's naturally aspirated. The x pipe and an aftermarket resonator or mufflers should be good
Looking at doing this to my 2012 E550. I've done the resonator but was curious about whether doing straight pipes vs an aftermarket performance muffler would lose some power from back pressure or lose fuel economy. Could you enlighten me?
