To make it sound aggressive? just delete secondary cats and resonators.

Actually, leave the resonators and delete the secondary cats and the mufflers. Also, if you can find a way to have an x-pipe made (not an H-pipe), it will also sound meaner.

Yes... grab the 55 or C63 mufflers off eBay... and delete the resonators while you're at it... you'll get what you're looking for when you step on it, without racking up tickets from the CaliNazi Noise Police.

Keep in mind however, that the 55 mufflers are for supercharged cars which are throwing more pressure out the back than your naturally aspirated M113... so C43 or C63 mufflers are probably better... most muffler shops can make them fit... people do the C63s all the time, because the M156 motor is also naturally aspirated.
