Removing restrictions in the exhaust system on a supercharged motor does NOT lose power ANYWHERE.

my vote is you dont lose torque unless you eliminate all the cats --- and to make it clear -- I only think you would lose low end torque if you deleted everything.

Actually I think he's right. I know removing just the primary cats with a new tune is a considerable increase on horsepower, back in the day before $1,500 headers guys would cut the primaries out and zoom

I am betting most of that power comes from the tune not from removing your cats -- A stock E55 will get some decent gains from these Tuners.

Before removing anything from the exhaust system, check with your local laws concerning emission testing. Removing the cats and/or the resonator may not allow your car to pass inspection/emission testing.

Save the popcorn guys, Im not going to argue with this worthless dud..
Keep thinking your "takeoffs are not as violent" now because of a resonator delete..
And please if your going to try and insult me come up with something more original than im still in puberty..

Look he insulted me first. I don't care what he thinks or theoretics. My car was one thing before the resonators and another after. Just like dyno's don't mean anything either does somebody telling me about my car. Now, is there anyway you can contribute like I have?

Well before I was side tracked I was giving my first hand experience to add to the discussion, whiter someone agrees or disagrees is fine, but don't say I'm wrong for distinctly noticing a change. This is my last post as I want the OP to get his answers.

I could careless what your butt dyno results are post before and after dyno results or track times that proves your claims or zip it. Removing restriction from the exhaust on a supercharged car does not lose power the owner is irrelevant.

Now back on topic..Resonator delete wont cause a notice difference in loss of power, enough said..
