Second Cat and Res Delete (What should I do)?
I have a 2009 Mini Cooper S. It is bone stock (except for a Flowmaster super 10). I plan to upgrade the air induction system because of my plans to delete the second cat and res. I have a super 10 on it and it is still decently quiet. I want it to be loud, but not ear-wrenching. I think this will get the sound I desire, but I was wondering if I should delete the super 10 and just have the first cat. I like the deep throaty sound the super 10 creates though.

Then keep it and delete the cat and res. When I did my catless downpipe it still was pretty subdued, but deleting the 2nd cat and resonator really upped the volume by quite a bit.
You can do it with a chunk of pipe and a pair of band clamps. Or what I did (which took a LOT of searching) was found a guy at an exhaust shop who replaced whole shebang from the flex to the R60 suitcase muffler with one piece of straight pipe. $100 cash on the downlow, lol.
