My X-Pipe and removed front Cats
I thought I would share this with you. I have had it on a while now and can say it is one of the best mods I have done.
It is a custom made X-Pipe and works a treat.
It is made from high grade stainless but is very dirty now. I have a slight leak from the joints as you can see from the black soot but I will sort that.
Anyway, for those of you that have rattling front CAT's I have removed mine and had an emissions test done on the car. I have posted the results so you can see that it seemed to pass the UK laws with flying colours.
I only have the central CAT's on the car.
Anyway comments please!

No CEL light whatsoever, only an increase in power and a nice but not too loud increase in sound. She now sounds how an AMG should!!

E55.....AMG
sounds good !!!
Ive been thinking about removing the first 2 cats but was worried that it may throw up a cell with the lambda probe being there.
have you still no problems or cell lights as the cell light can take a few hundred miles to appear when cats have been removed. If all is still good then i may just go ahead and cut my cats out
