Car **** XXX The right way to mod..

Guys I took out the 2nd cats and the resonator I did have them make Flanges so I can just simply bolt the resonator back on if need be.

I also had my guy do the pipes in stianless steel Enjoy

All I can say is OMFG it sounds great but just in case it gets to me after a while I have the ability to bolt the resonator right back in...I love that..20mins with a wrench and a cra jack..I'm done. A true tunable bolt on. Now I will wait for Hooley's long tube's.

Btw this guy welds so damn nice..My factory welds look like crap to his.

My guy charged me 270 but he also modded to resonator and added a flare and flange to it. He too his sweet time but well worth it. I noticed that the car picks up alot faster.

So do you think it's too loud now? or does it drone?

Why are you thinking of putting resonators back in?

TIA!

Add'n resonator will cause more drone imo...

If you want more of Mustang / american V8 sound, go ahead and remove ur oem cats..If not, just do the resonator mod..

Recently my friend with SL63 removed his 2nd cat and it sounded like shat.

Removing all the cats will make it louder but, By having a total of 3
resonators (2 permanet) and the third removable. I can tune in the sound to my needs It will sound meaner but the resonators will take out most of the rasp. So you will end up with a nice tone.

So here is the set up

Where both cats go (the primary) there will be resonators.
Second cats are gone.
and a 3rd resonator that can be installed and removed so I can tune it down if it gets too too loud. As of right now its ok but I´d like the ability to just bolt in a 3rd if I want to tone it down a bit.

So there you have it. As for the Cats you can bypass the primaries by getting a set of O2 spacers and putting them in. You might want to double stack each one (4 total) to really reduce the amount if (signal) you get. Therefore you will (trick) the secon O2´s into thinking that your cats are still there. And the sweetest part is that they will cost you a total of 15 buck at the auto parts. They are called anti foulers and simply bolts right in then you stack the O2 right on them.
