Default Kleemann Sports Cell Catalytic Converters arrived today

Hey guys, Just wanted to inform you that the Kleemann sport catalytic converters arrived, shipping was quiet cheap through the Aramex Shop&Ship service to Kuwait, about 45 dollars by having the Products sent to my Po Box in NewYork and then shipped to Kuwait and paid for by hand when I come to recieve the products; I have yet to recieve my Ipod Nano and the SuperSprint X pipe which is estimated to come in 1 1/2 - 2 weeks and at that time I will install the Kleemann Catalytics with the X Pipe at the SuperSprint dealer; For now I will cut that talk and let you enjoy the pictures I took today while unpacking the box.

Are you interested in power or sound?

If you're more interested in power, I'd go for some straight pipes/test pipes over the kleeman high flow cats. It would probably be cheaper as well.

Thats going to be hard to do over here, Custom work isnt great and I just dont want that Drone & raspy noise once you go with Straightpipes.

the Setup I am going for hopefully will be Slightly Muscular at Idle and Louder at Full Throttle, The only thing that is slowing me down are the Super Sprint X Pipes, they will be here in 2 weeks time and Ive had them on order around 2-3 weeks ago.

im sure they will make a great difference. I was thinking just how restrictive cats are! my mates all say just get rid of them and de-cat it, but i also hate that raspy tinny noise when they are removed.
On another exhaust note, does the slk55 have a join in the exhaust about 3-4feet back from the mufflers? I noticed mine does, where the centre pipes merge and then split again, for absolutely no apparant reason. must be very restrictive, and loosing a few bhp there.

Yet it does, looks just like a Muffler, acttually is the Resonator/Centre muffler I am removing that with the X pipe; N4PWJ, since you have the Peicha Mufflers installed why not option for the SuperSprint X pipe to remove the restrictive box which increases Exhaust flow.
