Dang, I'm really thinking of removing my secondary cats. But then I was thinking of getting a pair of high flows.. (200cel) but now I'm thinking.. Hmm save $200 and go straight flush without any cats.....
I could always try it and see how I like it. 2.5 ? how long of piping do I need?
Links anyone?

I made this today as I was on my way to the shop for my exhaust work. Its the interior sound pre-modification.
There is a slight clicking noise and a minor muffling of sound due to the camera case, but I've listened to the clip with headphones, and you definitely get a good idea of what the stock exhaust sounds like from inside the vehicle. The post modification video will be much clearer in sound and uploaded soon.
And... excuse my blurred face. I did't want to over expose myself in public

Looking forward to the after mods video.
I'm trying to avoid exhaust drone as I like to take my E55 on road trips.
I made an expensive exhaust mistake on my Mini once.
Don't want to do that again
Thanx M3RC3D3SE55AMG.

buy used cats
Guys,
Just a fyi....
I offset some of my mod expenses by selling my cats back on eBay. Some guy in Jersey pay me $150 for them. I found this website on the net that buys used cats but I think you can get more thru eBay.... http://www.sellyourcatsdirect.com/

To avoid drone, the x-pipe is a must when stripping the resonator and secondary cats out. If you really need pleasant highway tones though, I would consider the x-pipe and an aftermarket resonator? Saves weight, alters sound but keeps you "droneless"?
Maybe I'm wrong?
Lol

As promised... Here is a video where you can hear the interior sound of the x-pipe/resonator delete/secondary-cat removal modification on my E55. Video was shot the day after the mod was completed. Video is quite long, but I always find the videos showing the sound of W210's to be teasingly short. I hope this satisfies peoples need to hear the W210's N/A V8...
To hear the fullest possible sound, use headphones. Laptop speakers do not do the audio justice. External PC speakers with low end response will have a realistic playback too...
Enjoy!

Great video.
I already did the resonator delete.
Sounds like the x-pipe/cat delete doesn't make too much more difference in sound from the inside.
Thank you M3RC3D3SE55AMG

I don’t think there is some hp gain with resonator or secondary cat delete,, it just help with more flow,
but i think, in some cases of O2 sensors, it needs a back pressure from the resonator....
ZAYED,,

I don't know for sure, but I swear I can feel the car adjusting itself to the changes. The gear shifts relative to rpm's while not on WOT are altering constantly. There feels like there is more torque from 2000rpm and up, but this could just be a "placebo effect" of the new noise and wishful thinking for more power. What do you think desired_speeds?

Nice exhaust work and nice video! She sounds sweet!
Did the exhaust shop make you wear any PPE during the filming? Most shops in the US won't allow you in for safety/insurance reasons.

You're kidding? That should be good for the neighbours!
