A more aggressive sound is noted when at full throttle.

That things a monster.
I agree the supercharger whine is louder. Is that because the pulley in the K2 kit makes it spin faster?

I guess it is true bout people you are racing in the E55.

"When you start to hear the whine, yo a$$ bout to be mine!!"

I like the 55 sound from the front better than the back. Not many cars in the world have the twin screw super fast lysholm blower from stock.....just LOVE that sound. It must freak people out when they hear that coming.

I could listen to that blower whine all day.

Nice vid!!!!

I took off some of the black plastic underneath the hood, about a 4-5 inch strip to allow heat to pour out of the hood vents near the windshield.

Noticeable difference in sound. You can really hear the SC whine even at low RPMS.

You know what I meant, your factory exhaust sounds better than my factory exhaust and even my exhaust when I had the resonators out. It sounds alot like mine when I had the resonators and the post cats out. Very nice grumble....

Are you sure about that? If you remove the primary cats dont you get a "check engine light" Can you confirm Rock? As he mentioned in his post his exhaust is stock and if you have your primary cats removed- your exhaust is not stock.

Rock---Thanks! I have been trying to hear my car for 7 months now. People are too shy to drive it for me so I could get an ear full of heaven. But my dreams have come true, thank you for the pleasure.

Hey Vic,

The kleemann headers and dowpipes do away with the primary cats. You have to cut off the primary cats and weld in the downpipe in order for the headers to bolt up.

Remember, the kleemann headers have a 3" collector. The downpipe serves as the reducer to mate to the 2.75" stock exhaust.

Hi...

Can I try confirm for Rock. ???

Yes... You get "Check Engine" light if you dont use Kleemann ECU programming which eluminates that...and Primary CATs are worth another 10 HP (Cory told me)...

He has more flow in the exhaust system and thats is why its louder the yours was...

Cant imagine how E.Race exahust will sound with Kleemann Header, Primary Cats removed, resonators cut out...

3 choices for the CEL problem:

1) Have the ECU programmed to ignore the secondary O2 sensors. (that's what I did)

2) Plug in O2 simulators on the secondary O2 sensors so the ECU always thinks they are working.

3) Dont do anything and just live with the yellow light on your dashboard..
