The resonators are still there. Look at the photos of the setup. The MBH headers cancel out the primary cats, while the caragraphics pipes cancel out the secondary cats. Therefore, I am now runing with a catless system and keeping the resonators and mufflers at stock form. I will try to get the dowbshifts and flyby's today. It sounds really great

Thanks, for some reason i always thought of the resonators you pointed out were additional mufflers, ie mufflers in addition to the 2 at the absolute rear of the car.
Looking forward to more vids!!

PS: Just out of interest why is there a kink of sorts in the lefthand cargrahic midpipe in the picture above??

The bents maverick are exactley the same design as that of the stock pipes with the secondary cats. The caragraphics pipes are completely bolt on pipes designed for the SL63. If you look at the stock pipe, it will have the same kink

Damn, WTF that thing sounds beautiful! Nice setup, I am digging the H-pipe instead of the X-pipe. I always thought the H-Pipe gives a much deeper less raspy tone.
