Secondary Cat removal
#16
I had the secondary cats removed yesterday and 3 inch " test " pipes welded in. It sounds great ( same type/style sound as with the cats but slightly louder ) and the increase in power is VERY noticeable. The seat of the pants feel is that David's claim is correct. All it needs now is a tune.
Daddy, I think the difference in Bentleys power rating you referred to has to do with the different factory tune and or different size of the turbos between the GT and a Speed.

did you x it?
When did the x first I got power, but it got more silent.

No. My car ( 2013 Speed ) has a factory installed crossover/H pipe just downstream from the secondary cats. A quick removal of the secondary cats and a quick weld in of 3 inch test pipe was all it took. Sounds and runs great.

Did the 08 Speeds get different/larger Turbos over the original GT?
Without changing out turbos what is the realistic power gains that can be achieved with a tune and IC's on the 08 speed. Any one?
thanks

Lol !
No i'm not going to change the rear mufflers. It sounds great and for me its loud enough. Also, depending on the engine speed it has great and distinct " bellowing " sound often times during deceleration. Do you or anybody know what that bellowing sound is ? Turbos ? Waste gates ?

I doubt you will have to much noise after a straight pipe job. I purchased the Fabspeed H pipe, tune and resonator tail section and the cars sounds like it should have from the factory. These cars are difficult to get sound out of. If there is a negative to the job it might be a little droning round 1300rpm. With the stock system this was the only time the car even sounded decent.
Do you have a video? Did you do the rear mufflers too?
