Nope. Many here claim it is the single best mod you can do to our cars though. Quafe makes the best LSD for our rides but, after installation, you will be about $3000 to $3500 lighter.

Fun stuff
Koru, please don't think that I am stalking you. I just can't help but notice your car when I pass by it.

Nice new Kumho's. I hope you went to Tucker Tire, on Forbes Rd, for the new shoes. Those guys are the best deal in town and always take great care of me.

What do you think of the tires? I ran Kumho's for a while, before moving to the Hankook evo V12's.


Any update on those tags yet?

Yep...such a shame for how much torque our motors are putting out. Since I don't have LSD I can only give it about 70% throttle in first otherwise I just spin out until second

I just got my 2nd cat delete today, and man does it sound so much better. rpm over 2500 the sounds just keeps on building up. I have the EC headers so the sound has a bit more rumble than normal. res delete just didn't cut it imo. I'm glad i did it! I'll post a video when i get a chance.

cheers!

They've been doing ok. As for the tags, I already paid for them a while ago. I haven't gotten them in the mail. I'm probably going to have to the DMV to get them personally.

Any suggestions on suspension?

Anyone else care to chime in?

To the OP... The car sound good on the road and inside. Not so good just revving it in the drive way. How loud is it? i.e. Can you carry on a conversation under light/heavy accelleration? What about listening to talk radio? I luv the sound but don't want to turn my car into something that is uncomfortable to drive long distance.

What is the message with the "M112k" badge? It did not compute for me. Maybe, I am slow.

As for the Megan muffler, that sounds better to me. Is it something that is welded on or clamped on? I assume that the old one must be cut off, right?

Open diff on our cars. And the exhaust isn't loud in the cabin. It's very civilizied even when you're on it. It just sounded loud because of the camera mount being on the back window.

Exclamation Question on removing secondary cars and resonator

Hey guys I have a 2002 c32 AMG and currently I took the stock muffler off and replaced it with a flowmaster. It sounds good on the outside but too much drone inside around 2500 RPM. I was doing some Research And was thinking about doing a secondary cat and resonator delete with the stock muffler. I have heard the video clips on YouTube and I love the sound with those two things deleted and putting the stock muffler back on. My only concern is how loud is the drone going to be inside the vehicle when crushing on streets or highway with the secondary cats and the resonator deleted?. When I bought the car, it came with the resonator deleted and the drone was not bad,you could barely hear it. Also when the secondary cats are deleted, should I replace them with straight pipes or a x-pipe going to a straight pipe where the resonator would have been. Any suggestions? Thanks

I feel that deleting anything more than the resonator will give you the drone. I am happy with my res delete.

I deleted the secondaries on my SL55. I'm sure the exhaust system is a bit different, but I get a slight drone at low idle. Once the revs come up to 850 or 900, the drone goes away. At that point, the exhaust sounds pretty much stock under normal load even with my headers. When I go WOT, the mods become very noticeable, just how I like it.

I don't know the answer to your question about "X" vs straight. I think a general rule is you need one crossover being "X" or what have you in the system, but that is all. So if you already have a crossover somewhere in the system, then the secondaries should be replaced with straight pipes if you choose to do it. Don't take my word for this though, as I am not certain.

I have deleted secondaries and resonator and honestly the drone is nearly non existent. I do not notice it at all. Recently my primaries also became gutted and the drone isnt very noticeable unless you are driving up a hill at low rpms

heres a vid of secondary cat and res delete cold start
