Well YOU dont know but I certainly do. I had MANY cars pass without cats years ago before visual inspections came into play. Even my mechanic said cats dont do that much on clean running cars. All of my cars were not even close to the failing levels.

I'm looking to get more grunt out of mine but hesitant to chop the mufflers. I've heard many youtube videos of C63 and E63 with straight pipes and they sound great but I'm worried about drone being an SUV.

Still not straight pipe like you stated. Straight pipes have no cats either.

In WA State they only plug their computer into your OBDII port. So if you've got a tune to go with a cat delete no one is the wiser.

Hey newguy2008 I'd REALLY appreciate a video of how your rig sounds. I'm planning to do this Monday. Thanks so much!

With both Mufflers deleted and replaced with 3 inch 409 Stainless Steel Piping and both Resonators deleted with the same piping, it sounds pretty good, yes a little loud, but not at idle or 1500 RPM or below. Use Comfort to start in 2nd gear for less noise.

For those of you who like it a bit quieter and probably what I would have done if I did it over, is to just delete the two mufflers but leave the two stock resonators in place.

If you like it loud like the new 707 HP Dodge Challenger Hellcat, then do what I did.

Does anyone have a diagram of the exhaust system on a ML55 ? I just ordered kleeman headers and down pipe for my ml55 and after researching I think I am going to delete secondary cat and resonator and leave stock muffler and amg tips. This a good idea or bad? I want it to be louder when I am getting on it but around town driving not so much. I also would like to gain a little power off the upgrade.
