I'm not too familiar with Kleemann or any other aftermarket providers for that matter, but I don't think it was a very good idea to remove components of a system that they installed on your car. Given the precision with which these parts are manufactured, they each are built to work perfectly with each other. When you mess with one, all the others get messed up as well. I would assume removing your secondary cats would affect your backpressure and thus throw off your ECU mapping. If I were you I'd PM someone a little more versed in these areas. Hope this helped.

i actually asked a kleemann engineer, he said these cats are there only for sound ristriction in european countries. i asked him clearly would i loose power or my warranty he said not at all. i just wanted to double check with u guys here. but its really worth it removing these cats, the sound is amazing.
