Just finished Resonators Delete
I went to a local shop yesterday and had my resonators removed and replaced with straight pipes. The car's voice is now very- deep and MUCH louder, to the point doesn't really sound like the old AMG roar. I also notice it's using more gas than before.
Another very helpful member advice I remove the 2ndary cats also and replace them with an X-pipe to tone down the deepness to get back the original AMG roar.
So if I do that, will my car be ALOT louder than it is now? because i think the current resonator delete is already loud enough but way too deep and not smooth. Will removing the cats also worsen my gas mileage than it already has?
Thanks guys

i think ur getting lower gas mileage because your staying at a lower gear stepping on the throttle more to hear your exhaust. thats what happened to me after i got resonator delete and secondary cat delete. i wanted to hear the exhaust more

hahah you're probably right about the gas mileage part, it is very tempting to step on it more often now. I try to drive in Comfort Auto to save gas, but the car sounds too deep and weird. Starting to sound like american muscle when I rip it in comfort auto.

Here's a short clip I made today, not enough time to do a proper shoot.
Not cold start in the beginning, and just driving in comfort auto
