Cat & Resonators Delet
Well I took my S to local mffler shop, and got my secondary cats removed, and instaled a flowmaster X pipe, and got the resonators also deleted, and subbed with straight pipes. I love it, the tech at the shop I should expect any where from 25-35 hp gain, and the car just sounds awsome, it's hard to discribe, but when ideling it's calm, little deep, but not noticably diffrent, but when I punch it, man it sounds crazy, It's a lot louder deeper, and also its got that scream to it, it sounds bad A$$. My SL, had resonators removed but I'm deffinetly gonna do the cats, and X pipe this weekend.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
No issues with Smog when removing secondary cats??? I got one opinion with the answer "no problems" except if there is a visual inspection.

I don't think there is a problem, and I won't need smog untill 2012, I don't even know if I'll still own the car. Pluse it's easy, keep your cats, when it's time for smog, go put'em back on. As for the Vid I'll try to do it today.

Out Of Control!!
Vid please. I dropped my resonator and muffler just to hear the sound and it was rediculously loud. I have a vid of it but I'm waiting for my friend to email it to me. Dont know how good the quality is though.

I did my S65 along with Ballzy yesterday. I only had my mufflers removed and a straight pipe put in instead along with new tips. I must say, the sound is awesome. It is very loud at WOT, and a little louder at idle, but very noticable compared to before. I definitely love it. Ballzy's car sounds insane.

Sound Video
Thanks Ms, here is the vid of the S55, but the sound quality isn't all that, but it's something.

No problem, I'm not just saying that but really that vid does the sound no justice, but I wanted to share with everyone, and I just grabbed my digital camera and had my buddy tape it, to post it on here.

I didn't loose my mufflers, as the tech said it'll be nasty loud, since I have a SC, and that's not what I was looking for, I'm really satisfied with the sound, feels like the car is more responsive, and I don't know if he was but he said 25-35 hp gain at the least.

The clip sounds good! I don't think it is too loud as it really only barks at you under hard acceleration and there is so much sound deadening in the E55 that it is stll pretty quiet inside the car even with a full throttle run.

I put my kids in that car,it sounds a little deep, not loud at all, really quite inside the car, with the hint of muscle, but when I punch it, it sreams, I love it.

Hey Ballzy where did your thread go about your new shop? Not that I'm interested (I live far...) but I wished you luck and was searching for it to no avail.........
