E55 custom exhaust????

Hi everyone new to this forum just bought a 2003 E55 on new years day. it has a Renntech pulley and ECU and some of those green air filters not sure of the brand but any ways , the car is amazingly fast with endless power but no sound at all. I took the car to a friends shop and put it on a lift and was looking at the full exhaust system. I was wondering if I took it to a shop and had the resonators cut out and a straight pipe welded in and the secondary cats cut and a X-pipe put it what would happen? would it void the warranty? would any lights come on? there are not any O2 senors for the secondary cats right? how would it sounds and would there be a power difference? thanks for the help

Before this get's stupid like the long tube header thread...

Yes you would void the warranty in the eyes of MBUSA.
Removing the secondary cats will most likely cause the CEL to come on.
Sound will go up
you will probably see an increase of 4 or 5 hp

Look for the X-pipe thread and the long tube header thread (Only read the first two pages of the header thread it get's stupid after that)

Removing the secondary cats won't hit a CEL. So, do i dive on you and act mighty or just say it because it happens to be something i know? Not hating on you but you sure are quick to jump on anyone just to look an inch taller....

Seriously dude, hang back and just read a thread or two, you don't need to weigh in on every thread. Especially when your knowledge is questionable at best...

Weigh in? I was correcting your info. It was technical and relevent. You don't even consider that a post? Next time consider the question is for an E55 and not your plane...

Anyway, I heard that doing a "sneaky ECU Reset" will throw a CEL and status 8 my car. E55pilot told me.

No, I have better things to do, like check weather and file flight plans for tomorrow.

I will say it does and will set a code (P0136/P0156 and P0140/P0160)

I don't care how much you love E55's it doesn't mean you know how they work

I suggest you figure out what happenned to JFK Jr, but hey you know everything. The codes say to steer clear of those that claim to know everything but can't explain the simplest of them.

Codes are codes, nothing to research about them. What I wanna know if how you found out these codes would come up if the 2ndary cats are removed.

I don't need to explain the codes they are common codes. they are OBD-II codes. You know On Board DIAGNOSTICS.... That's right you think OBD is on board display......
