Wish I had known about these as they are OEM. Looks like I might be swapping out the paddles soon, just too lazy to remove the steering wheel to install them right now.

I have a set of the g-paddles and like them over the OEMs. They're the perfect compromise between OEM with extensions and without. Absolutely love them. Plus no steering wheel removal needed.

No steering wheel removal, a tiny flat-head screwdriver and 3-5 minutes per side is all it takes.

Stereo system is in including the back up camera. Tomorrow the secondary and resonator gets deleted for an x pipe and a dual exhaust. The sprint booster went in this evening and oh my I like the response now. The V3 version has numerous settings unlike the original. Once I get the alarm and wheels I am probably done. Humm ecu/tcu.

Any check engine lights popping up after that? Is this job simple enough for the average exhaust shop?

No Cel's and yes, but I would go to a place that does custom work. I've also had headers put on since then and no Cel's after that either. Its one of the reason's I wanted to keep the primaries and O2 sensors.

Thanks for the reply! Called a trusted exhaust shop down here in SoCal and they said they ll do the resonator for $50, but it's illegal to remove any cats lol. Anyway, since all I want is a little more AMG roar; not hunting for Mustangs or anything like that, I guess I ll deal with the cats for now until I decide to get headers...

I recently deleted just the resonator without any issues and decided to leave it the way it is as it is loud enough for me. Based in the resonator delete alone you can now tell it is a V8 under the hood as it was pretty quiet stock.

Nice upgrade. Love your steering wheel paddles too.

Ended up removing all 3 resonators ($160) and now finally happy with the sound.

LoL yeah. We took one step at a time too. First, he removed the last one, turned on the car and literally no difference. So he proceeded with the other 2 in the front.

Vinyl wrap or a kit? I just found a kit online but it's $325-ish to $450-ish depending on finish chosen.

What was the name of your trusted exhaust shop in SoCal? I'm currently looking for someone to delete the resonator on my C32 and would love a recommendation.
