Inquiring in a general sense, would the installation of cl63 exhaust back boxes provide a substantial change in terms of noise compared to the usual configuration?

The impact of E55Ks is very significant. Based on the available information on the CLS55K and C63 back boxes, it is reasonable to infer that such compatibility exists.

It is highly recommended to actively observe the auditory experience of a CL63 vehicle during takeoff, preferably in person, and thereafter juxtapose it with the sound produced by a CL500 model. This comparative analysis will enable one to discern and determine personal preferences regarding the auditory characteristics of these two vehicles.

One potential drawback associated with the use of back boxes is the possibility of inducing drone, which necessitates caution and attentiveness during the installation process.

I made alterations to the exhaust system of my E55K vehicle, specifically focusing on the modifications made to the exhaust components. However, I retained the original rear boxes without any modifications.

If I had retained ownership of the vehicle for a longer duration, it is plausible that I would have considered installing CLS or C63 exhaust systems, since they are known to provide a little more pronounced sound.
