I wouldn't be chopping into that Akrapovic exhaust, a resonator delete does not give you enough benefit to warrant destroying an expensive exhaust.

I deleted my resonators on my stock exhaust and it honestly didn't do much. It made it a little louder and higher rpm's mainly. But like Dwaynos said, I wouldn't recommend chopping up that really nice built exhaust.



If you want more loud, I'd recommend removing both mufflers & resonators (stock exhaust before).

I wouldnt chop up your exhaust

Get rpi gtm for loud! Anything else you need to accept thats how it will sound (which isnt that great)
Its these s63 motors they just dont sound that awesome

I wanted to remove my resonator mainly to hear the turbo's whistle more loudly and clearly from the exhaust 😍😍, but looks like no one is recommending me to do that. So is there any other options for that..!!?

catless downpipes. it's the only way.

absolutely do not modify that exhaust system.

As you already have catless downpipes you have no other option but to sell the akrapovic and get a straight through system. RPI has been mentioned. You will get no more turbo sound from a resonator delete. I noticed a slightly grittier sound at higher RPMs when I removed mine. I now have straight pipes from catsback. Still not sure if it sounds nice enough.

If you want to here the turbo whistle then I highly recommend installing front mount intakes such as RK Autowerks, Project Gamma, MSR all three of those sound the same you absolutely hear the turbos sucking in air and it sounds amazing and a good little boost in power too like 20whp.
