Who knows maybe it affects the quality of the sound too? It's gonna cost me $300 all in I think which isn't too bad with stainless steel pipes.

Can you post a quick video? I am only thinking of secondary cat delete and not the resonator. Interested in hearing what both deleted sound like.

Not a bad deal, but quality of the sound shouldn't be affected regardless. Are you in Calgary recently? The video don't do justice.

Did the 2nd cat delete replace w/ straight pipe Monday for $80. Just perfect, not obnoxious loud and just more AMG growl, not meow.

That's super cheap, let's hear it.


Snowmuch, I am in Calgary this weekend. Maybe we can meet up and do up a side-by-side video of your exhaust and my stock exhaust.

Hey man, I'm in the same boat as you and I'm thinking about going for a secondary cat delete. I'm not a huge guy about mods but this is something that I think would definitely make the car sound better without making it obnoxiously loud. Where are you thinking of getting the exhaust done?

I have a guy here in town his name is James. Runs a nice little shop on the North side. Good guy and very reasonable, does all my other mods too. Give me a PM if you need his exact details to contact him and you can name drop me. He's brining in the stainless steel pipes for me.

nice! I'd love to hear a comparison between yours and mine. I had mine done as well a while ago now, seems to almost be getting louder over time.

There's no rasp or done is there? After deleting the secondary cat and replacing with straight pipes?

none. Its perfect, cant really tell much of a difference when inside the car. I've had drone before in the ISF after the Borla Exhaust and a little w/ the BMW downpipe, and there is ZERO drone in the c63 w/ the 2nd cat delete. I also had another c63 w/ the resonator delete and Mike's H pipe and another w/ Straight pipe: Zero drone as well.
Just do it and enjoy...

I think this thread is going to call for a DFW rev-off competition!

I know JRS would win with his setup though!

I think K&N's with a charcoal delete and a second delete should be required for any cool AMG owner.


However then I did a few more mods including a tune and then I also cut the resonator off and put an x-pipe put in. The car sounds so amazing! It sounds like a mean, nasty, deep and loud rumbling V8

i can't speak for the weld, but i just gave b&b a call and they quoted me the ballpark of ~$50 for a 2.5" straight pipe secondary cat delete using aluminized steel.

i know it goes against this forum's mantra, but hundreds of dollars versus ~$50 for something that'll virtually achieve the same desirable result is not too difficult of a choice. yes, there's going to be a difference in quality of mandrel bent stainless steel pipes versus what b&b may have, but i would gamble that the likelyhood of something going awry utilizing the latter would be very slim. the best thing is that i've read so far is that this shop is honest and will true up to any mistakes, so i might just be pulling the trigger this weekend on that notion.
