One more question:

What's all this Primary cat / Secondary cat all about ?

I've read on the E55, it's best to change the Primary...

is it the same with our AMG NA engine?


And if I change my 2nd cat, is there an O2 sensor or
something in there

Your car has 4 cats, two primaries / two secondaries (one per side each).

The primaries have O2 sensors before & after. The secondaries are much further back in the exhaust system (look at picture provided above).

No, its not "best" to change primaries. Changing primaries is a huge headache b/c you have to worry about check engine lights and etc. also the primary cats are actually less restrictive than the secondary cats. Hope that helps. Get the 300-cell secondary cats, they won't disappoint
