To the OP, save your money and just remove the rear cats and resonator. You won't be disappointed. Put the money saved under the hood.

Here is a link to mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROtgZfeDZNs The video is crap and my camera at the time only recorded 15 seconds at a shot, but you will get the jist of it. I had this done almost right after I purchased the car and couldn't be happier with the sound.

100% agreed I dont even understand why mercedes even put one on the C32, Its not any louder really inside, and outside sounds amazing, especially when you start AMG up in the morning on a cold start........ plus by losing it you save a few pounds. (not that it makes a difference with little weight lost but it adds up)

But it gets a cool burble sound at idle and is much better sounding at full throttle.

I can tell you this, there is just a touch of rasp for a couple of moments during hard acceleration. If you were to free up the the flow by adding a low cell cat like the Magnaflow, more sound will come. I and have a hunch that it will be more rasp. I believe Jerry had all 4 cats removed? I think he mentioned that it too was raspy? Those primary cats are no fun to get to, therefor, will cost good $ just to chop and swap. If you don't like it, it just cost you double.

jturkel, are you in or around Scottsdale this week? if you want, we can meet so you can get a better feel for the exhaust before you do your swap.

i will not be in scottsdale this week but might be in two or three weeks. i won't have time to bring my car in to the shop until at least then though...so those cats wont be going on yet. if i go up, i will let you know.
out of curiosity, any idea how much a shop will charge for the installation of these primary cats (magnaflow race)?

PLAID
How bad (or loud) is the sound if you just lose the resonators??? Annoying at 60 MPH or nice rumble that you can hear just below the radio??
