Ditto, curious as well. Many stories of high flow cats blowing out, curious how these hold up over time, thanks for posting.

2006 E55 AMG --old cars -- E39 M5, 2.7tt Audi S4, E36 M3 **Ducati 996, 748
Not trying to make you paranoid but now you know -- Do a search -- I think your idea is great and I would like to follow -- just dont want to waste $$$ on cats that may break apart --- parts and labor to replace them again -- no fun !!!

Good info, might look into those myself. Plan on a 185mm upgrade, these, fuel rail, and final tune and call it a day.

E55 AMG
I would do the bigger injectors as well if you haven't already. Just my two pennies.

All I can say is that these cats are what won me the race against the 476whp cobra. It really made that big of a difference. Car is so much faster and louder now.
