How to Make Your Mercedes Sound Like an F1 Car

Didn't play sound, but don't 180-degree headers accomplish the task? Or, is this some Japanese craziness where they have a sound system under the car?

I'd like to do this - I have an '01 CL600. 

I have a rotary draw bender that I've build cages with, and can get a mandrel attachment to bend thin-wall tubing.  I did install motorized exhaust dumps under the front seats to start.  https://youtu.be/wHnkCmhecwA

I must've linked this a hundred times already. https://www.bosozokustyle.com/2009/10/13/how-to-create-your-own-zokusha-muffler/

They've been doing this for years. Click link, watch the video, enjoy learning what a few helmholtz chambers do. 

Associate Editor? Bravo, Colin. 

Be easier to just throw a two stroke in it...

There is a u tube video out there of a 600 screaming up and down a street with an "f1" exhaust on it. Sounds cool but I am sure it would get old rather fast. 
 

My cls has a very nice sound. Cut outs would be fun but with the twin turbos even with out mufflers it is not all that much louder than with the mufflers. I think the mufflers are tuned to take a lot of the high pitched sound out but does not kill a lot of the volume. 

A lot of the "my v12 Merc sounds like an f1 car" videos are clearly overdubs.

I'm not saying this one is but beware.

In reply to Robbie :

Thank you for the heads up. Sometimes I have to remind myself that this is the internet, after all.

At any rate, I'll use that as an excuse to get a V12 Mercedes of my own. 

Great engine in a boring car. A friend of mine is well on the way to swap in a m120 6.0 v12 in a well built de Tomaso pantera replica coupled to a boxster S manual gearbox. That will be an epic ride when its finished :) 

That video guy talks way too much. Anyway, $12,000 vanity upgrade, okay, and no faster to boot, perfect. Different strokes.
