1) replaced stock air filters with Green high performance
2) replaced rear muffler assembly to new sport type muffler with twin stainless tips

How about you giving us the feedback. Notice any more power now?

I dont have a throaty roar on idle speed but after about 3k rpm I get a sound not v deep but more high pitched, any idea on how to get a deeper sound on idle?

Don't know much about the green filters.. tell me more. brand etc...

As far a muffler. I have experienced the same with my 400E. I installed a stainless twin tipped magna flow. very quiet at idle. slight rumble under normal accel. hard accel and high rpms and the car sounds great... refined grawl. I like it...

I was told that a sure way to give the V8 more Beast Like sound is to bypass/remove the center muffler. Those giving me that input said, "brace yourself, getting rid of the center muffler will prodce a drastic change in sound". I wasn't game for that but something to consider if you are looking more a more pronounced exhaust sound.

I had a custom cat-back stainless system installed on my c280. I was told that the center muffler (resonator) was the key to producing the sound I wanted without making the car excessively loud at highway speed. They used a universal Remus muffler and the center resonator is about 2.5ft long. The sound at idle has a bit more of a bass rumble than stock. Around town there is noticably more noise, but it is a very pleasant note. When you really open it up, it howls. Very nice. I think it comes off the line slightly quicker, but that is strictly a subjective thing.

Sorry could not post a pic of filter, no digital cam!
