exhaust mod? will it work?

I am planning on replacing both the resonators on my clk 550 with an x-pipe as well as cutting out the cat and replacing that with a pipe. My only concern is that the ecu will show problems with the 02 sensors etc. in some places i have read that the ecu on the car is adaptive and with 32miles or so of driving it will recognize the mods and turn off the check engine light etc. is this true?.....also has anybody else done this, is it worth it to do?

90% of us have done that and no you wont have any problem with O2 sensor as long as you still leave the primary cat in place. Most of us here replaced the 2nd cats and the resonators. If u want more info. lets search
