Sec. Cat removal...Question,
One shop says they can remove the sec. cat but would need to see the car first before giving a quote ( these guys did my res delete + cls63 muffler install )
Another shop says he will only install high flow cats. 150 CDN for the high flow cats + installation.
An extra 150 is a none issue, but Im looking for more grunt. Will I get that with the high flow cats versus the complete removal to straight pipe?
What am I better off doing?
Thanks guys.

1st I had...Resonator Delete (with Straight Pipes) & C63 mufflers and I loved it.
I decided to delete my secondary cats and add an H-Pipe. It got louder for sure...too loud, I'm not sure yet, but certainly noticeable. The one thing I will say is mine got a bit raspy...I'm not sure if it's the h-pipe, but I'm 50/50 on if I should have deleted the secondary's myself.
Here is a clip if it helps:

I had Kleemann long tubes and primaries deleted at first . I took of the secondaries and it wasn't much of a change . I then deleted the resonator and added a x pipe . The level of sound is just right but it's a bit too raspy for my taste . I am looking for a pair of C63or E63 mufflers for a deeper less raspy sound.

Your car has a deeper note than mine bc of the C63 mufflers . The headers will make it louder for sure. That's why I'm thinking C63 mufflers may be too loud with my set up . A buddy told me that E63 mufflers will give the same tone as the c's which is probably where I want to land but I have not heard that set up as of yet.
