Look Ma, No Cats!

So if you guys seen my previous thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/engine-pe...cats-asap.html
I was in need of some cats, to pass smog out here in Cali. Shardul (Thank You!) hooked it up big time with a pair off an e55, much bigger, and IMO it made my car quieter =(. But you guys be the judge.
Anyways i made a quick video the day & night before i installed the cats to show the before & after. I realize going full throttle and revving while parked is a move that "That Guy" would do, but it was for experimental purposes

My setup is basically Stock Headers, Bad Primaries, X-Pipe, then Bmw Resonators

(Before) Up and Down the Street:


(Before) Cold Start-Up & Douche Revving:


So Heres the before pics:



After Pics:



Heres the Rest of the SetUp:
X-Pipe


BMW Resonators





The Only After Video i got was when they started it to take it off the lift, i havent gotten a chance yet to do a thorough after video. but will post as soon as i get one.

I think the best setup is; All cats and last resonator delete. But mid-resonator must stay for beautiful sound . And I think your setup is very well except BMW resonators why BMW? I think stock E 55 resonators is grate as mid-resonator.

PS: Your X-pipe looks very well

the previous owner (my uncle) was experimenting and got the resonators for free. He ended up liking the tune it gave the exhaust and kept it. Im keeping it cause i really like it aswell, and its unique. gives my car exclusivity. how many e500s, let alone benz' have bmw resonators.
but Im sure the stock e55 ones are great too!
Oh and thank you! Do u have a sound clip of your setup? i can only imagine it makes mine sound like kitten compared to your lion. lol
