Removed center resonator and X pipe (clip)

So I went to my friend at exhaust depot and had him remove my center resonator and just put pipes in its place.


I hated it, very raspy. So I went back and had him put an x pipe in...MUCH better. I love it now. You can barely tell there was a change from inside the car over stock, and from the outside, well check out the video. I'll do a drive by clip tomorrow, as I'm sure it will sound a little different under load. Opinions welcome. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I like it.

It honestly doesn't sound like a Mercedes anymore. To me it sounded like a Pontiac.

I kinda like that sound. I'm not surprised that it sounds okay, since the stock exhaust has a bit of subtle snarl that you can only hear outside of the car.
