Thats nearly similar to my setup

OEM Headers, Kleemann 200 cell cats, SS Xpipe and AMG Exhaust

Green Filters, Digi-Tec ecu update and the removal of the spare tyre

Are the VRUS cat's custom as I know he makes various stuff for the E55's?

Default vrus cats

nope ... they are just standard 100 cell cats ... but they are of high quality just no brand on them.

A good example would be buying direct from Supersprint vs buying from Carlsson.

Yeah, Carlsson just increases the price on their products by a margin.

All I can say is that it's going to be loud for sure. If you want to see my video's just do a Search for "MeanMachineQ8" and you will see vid's of the SS Xpipe and Kleemann cats.

Whoaw Mohammed, That is a "sick" sound

Gotta stop playing these soundvideos so loud . Vibes from the speakers makes stuff fall out of my shelves....

What's that beeping going off all the time? Sounds like a truck going backwards.....

Thanks I was the first with this setup, usually the norm is full muffler, cats or headers.
