Just an update for everyone. Picked up my car from the muffler shop today,and the power and gas milage are very much improved[],but i'm not to sure about the exaust note. I know yesterday i said it was sweeeet and it was,on the hoist. But today when i picked it up and drove home the inside of the car sounded like a chevy 350, not a bad thing! but not very satisfing in a benz [V]. A small part of me likes to step on it and hear that rumble[}] But on the other side the car sounds like a chevy truck . I would like hear thoughts or suggestions on the matter[8D]. P.S. in the near future i plan on window tint and amg aero monoblocks so the sound may be more appropriate.
Since you asked, I prefer not to hear my exhaust system. I want my cars quiet, but then I'm an older guy and I don't like to call attention to myself. Except I drive Benz's and they tend to turn heads on their own. []

I’m an older guy as well who likes quiet cars; the note is not loud, it’s just slightly above the audible threshold. I hear it when my windows are down or if the windows are up with the blower and radio off. It’s a very soft, quite little note that says: “I love being a Mercedes V8!� []

Have you talked to the muffler shop? They need to get it the way you want it, IMHO; or explain why it sounds that way. [?]
