[W126 Coupe] Help on Exhaust modification

[Markus Meyer]

 I doubt it did much for power, but who knows.  I've done a few other simple mods like first gear start, so my car has always felt more "peppy" than other 560's I've driven.  No idea if the rear muffler is straight through.  I don't have factory exhaust though, I have the stainless Timevalve system:  http://www.timevalve.com/ MarkusMarkus Meyer484-919-9762 (cell)http://www.meyerprobateproperties.com/--- On Mon 04/02, Divov < divov at tiscali.co.za > wrote:From: Divov [mailto: divov at tiscali.co.za]To: mfmeyer at iwon.com, mbcoupes at mbcoupes.comDate: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 23:30:59 +0200Subject: Re: [W126 Coupe] Help on Exhaust modification

Thanks for that input Markus. Did it do anything for power?  Do you know if the rear silencer is a straight through box?

If you are talking about the two resonators in the middle of the system, yes, I've done that. Mine goes from the cat to the rear muffler now with two straight pipes inbetween. It has a nice low throaty sort of growl on acceleration and sounds "normal" the rest of the time.MarkusMarkus Meyer484-919-9762 (cell)http://www.meyerprobateproperties.com/--- On Mon 04/02, Divov < divov at tiscali.co.za > wrote:

As the first step looking for more power I plan to modify the standard exhaust system for racing.I don't care about noise levels so I thought of simply cutting out the 2 front transversely mounted silencers on my 500SEC and just leave only the rear silencer. Has anyone got some experience on this? Remember we already don't have all the emission control crapola on our cars.If I don't plan to change the exhaust manifolds is there any point in going bigger diameter pipes?Alec Divov84 500SEC Euro
