Cat removal isn't good for USA cars b/c of emissions testing but honestly I don't want to crazy mod this car, im selling it in May anyways, I just want to have alittle fun with it before I sell it in May.

Either way both X-pipes do the same thing, one just does it more smoothly thats all. The key thing to note is that AMG stock exhaust does NOT have any crossover at all (which still shocks me).

.... and like you said.... "Do I feel a difference? Does a bear sh*t in the woods? "

I picked the X-pipe with the crossover due to needing some back pressure because of the post cat removal.

Correction on the emissions. I passed a week ago. No problems. No problems with the ECU either....the post cats are not monitored. If I didn't remove my cats, I would of picked a less restrictive X-pipe like yours.
