Sorry ocifer I will try to get it fixed but it is a German car and you know 
how mechanics are round here.

Seriously though,  when I put on my modified 16V cat back system I had the 
muffler shop install a supertrap resonator in place of the stock 16V one. 
 I have tri-y headers and a hollowed cat so I was concerned about loudness. 
 (I have to drive clients around sometimes).  I would have you local 
muffler dude just weld in a resonator.  You probable took out the stock one 
right???

Even with a high flow muffler my system is a quiet, sounds a little like a 
modified g60.

You wouldn't happen to want to sell the old cat would you???
