Any videos of 2nd cat and resonator delete?
Already search, found one or two, but no many... can you please post your videos of resonator and 2nd cat delete on your sl55! Does it the exhaust sound good as the cls55?
Thanks in advance!

Headers (EvoSport shorty) and no secondaries, but still have the resonator. The little flip doesn't pick up the sound that well either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd3Tfq2JlG0&NR=1

I know the cls55 sound REALLY good with this done. Is the SL compareable?

Thanks man. I do think the res delete would make it just a bit louder. i like the sound level of my car. It is just slightly louder at light throttle and not really noticeable at freeway cruising speeds. It is noticeably louder and more throaty under WOT.
Not sure about the CLS55, but assume it would be similar.

Deleting the resonator would defiantly make it louder as thats what the cls55/63/c63 guys do, and it sounds perfect. Some add h pipe or x pipe... but it all depends on what your looking for.
I say do it! Than post videos asap lol

I have LTH, no primary cats, and no resonators.... I may remove my secondary cats.
Here is what it sounds like on the dyno

That sounds BAD ***! Exactly sound I want lol, looks like I need some headers now... Do you have any clips before the headers?
Reason why Im asking all this is, I just aquired some sl55 mufflers, going to install them on my e55
I wanted to do the more simpler route of finding cls55 or cls63 mufflers, but so darn hard to come by... On the plus side I hear the sl55 mufflers are pretty light compared to the cls55.

You can get anything to sound great on the outside, but if the drone is crushing your skull on the inside. It makes it hard to live with.

Thanks! I have my 2nd cats and resonator removed, once I have the mufflers on Ill make a video... I bet it will drone a little bit...
Is it a good idea to add an H or X pipe in the system for balance, rather than straight pipes? There are tons n tons of topics about this, but no one seems to have a proper answer, and no one seems to know about position of the x or h pipe...

I just removed my resonators only today. Didn't notice much difference at idle, but everything above that sounds much better, about perfect for what I wanted. Well worth the $75 cost. No video yet, maybe later.

Just joking. My perspective is that of an old Puget Sound (Bremerton) guy. I think the weather is generally similar in Vancouver. You should start seeing some nice days come May. Late summer is truly beautiful (August, September). People in the Northwest seem to embrace sunny days like nowhere else I have ever been. A sunny day is like a holiday.
Must be tough having come for the sunny Gold Coast.

I think the sun has been known to shine three or four days in September just before winter starts again. Just joking.
