So no H-pipe connector? Straight tube out to mufflers?

No interior clips yet. I haven't been able to export from torque's track recorder yet.

There is an H pipe just before the rear resonators. Its a bad camera angle and its partially blocked by the cross brace.

Two more questions before I seriously consider surgery on The Beast:

No error codes have come up?

What about smoging the beast?

Has anyone removed just the front or just the rear resonators? Is there a performance difference? Is there difference in sound?

Thanks for that, I was considering removing either the front or middle boxes, seems like not many have done this mod so info is thin on the ground.

No error codes and no smog issues.

The resonators were added to make the car quieter, now if you remove or gut the cats thats another story. I would imagine it would be a bit louder. A guy I know that has an S8 said he planned to remove the cats but hasn't had the time to do it yet. I doubt i would go that far.

As for performance gains There are no gains from removing the resonators, just a sound increase. I have found however when i had the flaps pinned open you really hear the exhaust as soon as you touch the gas but a noticeable loss in torque.

Thanks Jehu8,

I'm going to have to take the plunge very soon....will report back with pics and vids.
