what tbal said is exactly right. My old setup was removal of resonator and secondary cats with an x pipe where the cats use to be. Noticeably louder and refined sound with no check engine lights either.

Haters crazy
I suggest putting it where you took the resonator out from. (out back) Seems like that resonator also crosses over (xpipe)... Must be a reason why the amg techs decided to put it there...

I definitely lost major torque down low when I removed the resonator with straight pipes. I should get it back though when I do the long tube header system and a tune.

To the op, I would put an x-pipe in place of the secondaries if you chose to remove those too..

You wont.. "Take off is not as violent" is BS.. No chance you will ever notice it from a resonator delete.. There is so much wheel spin from a dig that its not even close to noticeable..
My advice is to go with a resonator and secondary cat delete with an x-pipe in place of the secondaries and you will have a nice sounding beast..
