My car is modded with Catless down pipes and tune...and wasn't sure if there was a noticeable (butt dyno) benefit.

So you have the catless downpipe + Brabus catback exhaust setup?
And for the air filters, honestly I dont notice any signifiant difference. I am running stock downpipes, weistec tune and air filters.

Yes sir! So no sound difference either? Just trying to figure out if for "everyday driving" there is a noticeable drive-ability or sound quality increase.

actually there is a quite noticeable sound difference. You can hear the popping/fire-cracker whatever its called, becomes more clear.
What catless DP and tune are you running, if I may ask?

Thanks!

Pert: Placebo at best... you have so much hp already the gain is negligible.

Love the Kleeman tune and the down pipes. I am by no means someone who pushes my car to its outer limits, but I can say that the car is a beast in sport mode and sport + mode....but is also not tame in comfort. The downshifting sounds (especially with the Brabus exhaust) are fantastic! The guys at ACG did a great job turning my car into a hulking angry force.
