Toronto/GTA owners - secondary cat delete from where?
Hello,
Went to a couple of exhaust shops already and none of them were willing to touch anything emissions related. Where did you guys get the job done from? Thanks.

I got mine done at Eurocharged while I waited. Took about 2.5-hours IIRC.
It's better to go on a really cold day in the winter so you don't have to wait as long.
If you go in the summer, they have to wait for your exhaust to cool, which takes forever on this car. If you go in the winter, they can start working on your car right away and get you in and out faster.

How does your car drive in the winter? Im torn between buying winter tires and rims or a winter beater instead

It definitely gets the job done with Michelin Pilot Alpin 4 on 19" wheels.
Front: 245/35-19 (same as stock)
Rear: 255/35-19 (10mm skinnier than stock)
In deep snow, it can be a handful, but I actually find it fun to drift around in the snow. In dry/wet conditions, those tires are actually pretty amazing. I can still lay down the power and the handling is surprisingly good.
Wife's car has 4matic + Michelin X-Ice 3, and her car is far better in the snow. On the days were there is substantial snowfall, we just take her car. I don't want to be plowing the snow with the front bumper on my car anyway.
Personally, I'm not a "winter beater" guy. To me, it doesn't make sense to pay for a second car, second insurance and then spend 1/3 of the year driving a car that isn't as nice as your normal one. Plus, I enjoy driving in the snow anyway and kicking the tail out with the throttle. It definitely adds to the fun factor for me!

Narrower tires are typically better in the snow/rain than wider tires.
Check out this review to compare and contrast the advantages/disadvantages of different sized winter tires.
I would go with 255/285 front and rear for my summer tires though!
No precautions against salt damage. I'm not going to own the car long enough for it to become an issue anyway. That being said, I've owned some cars for a while and I've never had rust issues anyway and I've driven all my previous cars year-round.

No cruises that I know of. Sometimes MB True North on Facebook has events, but it's not AMG specific!
