You may need to look into your exhaust options.Sumthing a lil more deeper, then stock...

It's never going to sound like a V8 (Thank God). It's not supposed too. Big heads, big cam, built motor, and a big-ass turbo, and they still have a sound of their own. A wonderfully unique sound that tells people we are different.
Based on your previous posts, you should consider taking things a bit slower and reaching out to some Buick people in your area. Do some searches on this site and read-up a little. There's lots to know long before choosing a cam.
Just trying to help.
Run an open down pipe. Then it will have a wonderful turbo whistle. I frigging love that sound! Boy, do I miss it. Especial when I hear some of the near stocker type guys running open dumps at the track or on the street. Reminds me of the old days.Ive done.most of the rest of the things like chip, injectors, bigger turbo, kenny bell headers, 3 inch down pipe straight out no cat or muffler...
Dont want a v8 sound have a drag car with big block, and a show car with beefy small block for all that...
Love the GN sound just wanted a lil more...
Thanks for advice...
I have said this in other threads. I'm going to say it again in this one.If you go on you tube and search "slp" and "grand national" you will find 2 videos from TheMongoose87 where he used the SLP Loudmouth resonators instead of mufflers. Sounded very strong and almost V8 like.

My dd is a 2012 cls550 4matic V8 twin turbo. Bought it 3 years off lease so i got a killer deal. It has cats, resonators, another big center muffler box that both pipes go thru and then two large boat anchor mufflers. It's as quiet as a Mercedes and I hated it. I removed the mufflers and had some straight pipes fabbed up and now it sounds exactly like it should, like it has a V8 in it, nothing obnoxious and no drone. Just a nice touch until you get into it and then it sounds amazing.I have said this in other threads. I'm going to say it again in this one.
Some day soon, I am going to have Brian Cotton fab up a full aluminum exhaust for my ride. I wanted to do it from day one. But I was talked out of it. Now I don't care.
No mufflers! Just 2 aluminum extensions of my downpipes right to the tail. My downpipes extent nearly all the way to the end of my transmission pan in stainless. Then from there, I'll go all aluminum.
Don't want to do it for sound reasons. Rather for weight savings, performance (no mufflers), and the "bad-ass" factor. But I'm sure it will sound different.
Maybe this summer. The budget is tight.
Oh yea love that clip!!If you go on you tube and search "slp" and "grand national" you will find 2 videos from TheMongoose87 where he used the SLP Loudmouth resonators instead of mufflers. Sounded very strong and almost V8 like.
