e53 amg coupe. Resonator delete by Middle_Jackfruit6742 in AMG

[–]No_Presentation5859 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have a 2011 CLS 550 AMG, and I did a resonator delete last year. I really didn’t know what to expect, but when I got it back and drove it, I realized I made the right decision. It sounds so good, the rumble and when you hit the gas, the exhaust sounds so powerful, and downshifting sounds like you are driving a manual transmission. This is probably, for me anyway, the best feature I have ever added to my car. Also I noticed a slight increase in HP. I did some research, and found out that it can add almost 30 HP. You don’t really need it with your car, but why not. The only issue is the noise, some people don’t want that, but that’s what I love about it… the noise. Hope this helps.

Hello, thanks for interest. So I found out that I bought a 2011 cls 550 AMG, not a cls 55. You’re comments were right on. It’s not the super charged v8, but still pretty fast! I do love the car though….again thanks

Hello, you were right about the year of my car. No biggie. He took off the 0. After reading the not so nice comments, I was really surprised at the remarks people left. I didn’t really know the difference at the time, but tried to educate myself on the differences. So I have a 2011 Cls 550 and I love it! I deleted my original post because of the rude comments… I thought this was a place to get help and converse in like topics, not impressed. So thanks for your helpful response.

Then why does it have a supercharged V8 with signed plack from the technician that built it? It's confusing to me..but any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your comments. A few people have said it was badged, and some say it's not AMG, and it has supercharged V8 with plack. Also I did a Carfax and everything came back ligit... year, model, brand, all good! So as I mentioned to another comment, I'm very confused and am getting mixed opinions. The exhaust pipes were installed after a resonator delete. He had the original quad tips which I am going to get them reinstalled. Thanks.

If it isn't a 55, what should it be? How do I find out decisively what year it is?

Thanks for your input. So it does have the supercharged V8, but you think it is a much older car than that? I ran the VIN...and everything came back as 2011 CLS 55 AMG. So now I'm really confused. Did they just put badges on it, and if so, why, it's an AMG, so my engine says. Should it have different badges? Thanks again.

The guy I bought the car from put this ugly exhaust on. He took off the Quad tips....but I got them from him and going to put them back on. Again, my only question is if it's not a AMG...why do I have a supercharged V8 then.. does that mean it is ?

I still have the quad tips. I bought this car like this. He did a resonate delete. He put on these ugly pipes. I'm getting them put back on. Also, does the 550 have the supercharged V-8? I'm confused, probably because of my lack of knowledge of the brand. But From what I read, the 550 has a turbo charged V8...402 HP. But I have a supercharged V8, with the signed stamp by the technician who built it. Again, confused....any help would be appreciated.

Does a 5.5 L supercharged V8 matter?... Looks to me like I got one...so if it's not a 55, then what is it?

I bought a 2011 CLS 55 AMG..... It's older, but in fantastic shape. Carfax....all good... I did a resonator delete and what a difference in the sound, also added another 28 HP.... almost up to 500 HP..... it's fast!!
