Rear cat removal....
I did a search and couldn't find any info. I was wondering if the rear cats had any sensors along with them or can they safely be removed without any problems?
Thanks in advance, Rick |

If your looking for a little more sound. I would recommend removing the rear resonators. We removed the secondary cats and rear resonators on our E92 M3 and the sound was extremely aggressive and might be too loud for some.

1. If I understand correctly the secondary cats are for emissions control during warm-up.
2. Why do you want to remove the secondary cats? 3. A member on this forum had his resonators removed, and he said that it didn't make a big difference in terms of sound (at least with stock mufflers). |

1. Does removing BOTH the resonators and the secondary cats require any cutting or can that entire section be bolted off? Can't tell from the pic Nate posted.
2. Why is there a bend in between the secondary cats and the resonators? It doesn't seem like an interference issue since there are supporting brackets bracing the pipes. Are the pipes connected at that point--meaning exhaust flow merges? Is that the reason, to merge flow coming out the two initial cats? 3. If flow is indeed merged in between the secondary cats and resonators at that section of the pipe, what is the effect of running straight pipes down that section as that keeps flow seperate until the muffler(s) (assuming you don't have two disconnected aftermarket mufflers)?

My plan is to remove the secondary cats (gain a couple lost horses), keep the resonator (keep noise levels and rasp low) + Remus Sport mufflers (gain some more power + great sound which will slightly be louder [no secondary cats] but will still be quieter than race mufflers.
