Can I offer a bit of advice? I've removed my 2nd cats in the past, removed resonators and straight piped them, and installed an X-Pipe (albeit up near the primary cats).
On wide open throttle it was fantastically loud and menacing but lost all the AMG character. I nearly sold the car and went to a R8 V10 but kept hearing other C63s driving around and wanted that sound back.
I removed the X-pipe and installed an H-pipe where the resonators were located and it sounds GLORIOUS. Like a big baritone AMG, epic overruns and nice backfires. No power loss either.
Follow the instructions here, you need to get the placement exact, and use a 1.5" pipe for the H:
