In this short video Kent shares the sound of his 6.9 after installing a custom exhaust system. He actually bolted in a couple different types of flow through mufflers before settling on the sound he wanted - Throaty but Quiet. This is a rare 1978 450SEL 6.9 European version with the first ever production Bosch ABS brakes. For other videos in Kent's 6.9 series follow the link to the playlist below.
