Question C32 AMG Secondary cats & Resonater delete?

Anyone here ever done this on the board? Whats ball bark cost for the service performed, and anything to be cautious about or any thoughts in general.
I seen a video on youtube that sounded pretty nice and now im considering getting it done on mine as well , but just checking with board to hear some suggestions/opinions.

It's a no brainer. These engines sound extremely good with basically any exhaust setup. Deleting the secondary cats only seemed to let a couple more dB through, but resonators always seem to control throatiness well. Deleting the resonator will result in a more gargly sound. I would recommend swapping the rear muffler too with a Magnaflow. A shop would probably charge $100 or less to delete the secondary cats and resonator.
