X-Pipe + Secondary Cat delete Powerband Shift?
Hi Guys,
I just did the secondary cat delete and added a X-Pipe. The cars powerband seems to be a lot different than before. It does feel like it lost power in the lower rpms. Did anyone else experience this same thing?
Thanks.

removing back pressure will usually sacrifice low end torque for power later in the powerband. A tune would likely make the exhaust mod worthwhile.

It shouldn't if done properly. E best way to increase low end to mid range torque is upgrade your stock exhaust manifolds, nthey are highly restrictive. You can get headers now for only $499 on eBay now for your application:

Usually you make 25hp & TQ with headers on NA 55 AMG
