Well, Kleemann and Renntech still offer theirs. And there's the highly over priced Carlsson kit. Then there's the Vaeth and MKB kits that would be out of this world expensive.

So, it's not that they aren't out there. It's just that this one never came to fruition, unfortunately.

What cat did you remove the primary (most likely not) or secondary, the one under the driver seat. How are the gains. How is the torque?

drexappeal

Most likely secondary, otherwise the CEL would be on all the time.

Yep it is the secondary, I like how it sounds, and my butt told me the car is moving quicker, esp with the stock silencer, i had the eisenmann race with both cats and a resonator on b4 and this combo of cat delete and stock silencer seems better to me but I have no real numbers to back that up but the pull from 3k-5k RPM esp in 3rd gear makes me smile.

So proir to this set up you added a resonator to the exhaust with the Eisemann siliencer/muffler. Which section of exhuast did you add the resonator to. Was it just before the Eisemann muffler. Did it quite up the sound? Did it change the sound? Any rasping sounds. What brand resonator...ones with alot of tiny holes in the center or one with the rough edges in the center?
Yes I would think you would get more pull at those rpms ranges since there is nothing holding you back anymore.
My setup just goes and goes escpecially past 3k rpms all the way up to 6k rpms. I dont get that jammed up feeling anymore that I used to with the stock set up.

count me put me on the list for more power

You guys are asking to be added to a list for a product that doesn't exist and may never exist. If you read through to the original post, it was started in 2005.

Yes the resonator was between the muffler and the secondary cat because a straight pipe to the eisenmann alone was way too loud, and by way too loud I mean the only place I wouldnt get pulled over is on a runway if my car had wings. I dont know the brand I had the shop put it in but it had holes not rough edges, it deepened up the sound a bit and made it quieter but less raspy. The no secondary cat sound is great, its like stock but a little bit louder and slighty raspier unrestricted sound. I would do headers but Im no longer modding the C, Im getting rid of it and getting a Subaru and a bike

When I think of "straight pipe" I think of straight piping from the headers all the way through to the muffler.

Anytime there is still a catalytic converter on the car (even if it is high flow), I look at a car having a cat-back exhaust, not a straight pipe.

So, just for clarification purposes, you have a cat-back setup (w/ stock piping) and secondary cat delete, correct?

pugguy2001

Oh ok thats where I am going to have the same of type resonator installed and hopefully it gets ride of the raspy noise at take off that i am also getting.
So you are deciding to part with the Benz? Why? Let me guess you want something faster and quicker. Hmm will it be the Subarua WRX and well just about any bike kicks ***.
You should try selling your car on this forum. Ive seen some good deals over here and good business transactions.
Well good luck.

was there every any word on this dyno?

Is there any type of pulley kit for the m271?
