300E 1992 Exhaust Sound

[handyjay]

Just replaced the resonator and muffler on my 1992 300E. Resonator is Starla and muffler is Walker. Not happy with the new sound. Instead of a quiet exhaust
like before replacement, the exhaust is now very throaty. Not sure which part or both are the problem. Hate to start replacing parts without knowing where I'm going. My understanding is regardless of brand name on the parts they all come from the same manufacturer. I just want it back to the way it was. It is a great 124 with only 65K miles that I purchased 5 years ago with 35K miles. Thank you for any and all thoughts and advise.
