Default kleman exhaust setup ???

Bill, when I was going to the super sprint total exhaust system minus the resonator [xpipes] I called Renntech and talked to Bob Bradly and asked why R/t didn't have a simulare setup as s/s because I had purchased there headers earlier on. Knowing I was going with there super charger. He basicly spoke about emissions and how the levels are measured differently from state to state and that why they only offer a cat back system. Well after the s/c was installed,brought the car to a whole nother level [98 more horses] I got the car back and that day you could feel the exhaust system's air flow felt restricted especially when I took her out on the highway and opened her up.[don't get me wrong that car kicked some serious *SS!! I just knew that it could perform better with a different exhaust system.] I wanted to make a change so I talked to my mechanic about some other options and it just so happened that s/s had just competed a totally R/D [research and development] on a full blown exhaust sytem for the SLK55 amg. [long story, just wanted to share.] Bottom line on the sytem being illegal and thanks for the explaination. My guy has a liscence from the state of Jersey to do car inspections too along with his own body shop [one stop shopping LoL]so ther should be no issues when it comes time to inspect the car in '09 of May
