I have a 2003 CLK55 that I would like to get a bit more noise from.
I can see that the standard first step that most people take is to delete the secondary cats.
Two potential issues:
- MOTs: I understand emissions will be fine but at some point in the future, testers may become more strict on the visual test. I think the answer here is to gut the cats with a weld on the hidden side.
- Track Days: I have a concern that the extra volume will be an issue with noise meters. I do one or two each year but it would be a real shame if the car were too loud. This is the biggest issue for me.
I like the thought of something that is reversible, so keen to hear if there are any options that are.
Thoughts? Experience with 55 non Kompressor motors or 63 motors in particular. Not looking for power and would prefer not to need to worry about re-coding for EMLs etc.
Thanks in advance
