My Ride: 2008 535xi
Default Got my Muffler Delete done!!

Whatsup everyone.

Decided to try out a muffler delete on my 2008 535xi. Turned out pretty awesome and only set me back $130 labor/piping + $60 for the tip (<$200 in total). Got it done at Meineke in South Plainfield, NJ

The tip was a 3" inlet with dual 3" tips.

How do you guys think it looks fitment wise?

**I WILL BE POSTING A SOUND CLIP VERY SOON!**

Still learning the ropes, so I'm just wondering what's the purpose of the muffler delete? Wouldn't you hear or feel a vibration after you get off the gas pedal or when slowing down?

I also have a muffler delete and quad pipes. There's a slight reduction in back pressure that you really only feel at higher speeds. There isn't really a "vibration" but more of an exhaust rumble when you let off the gas. It's the sound of the last bit of pressure coming out.

I like it and I'm considering scrapping my secondary cats too...MAYBE.
When it comes to exhaust sounds its really all about personal preference. Some people may hate mine LoL

By leaving the resonators on, muffler delete won't cause any drone. It will just make the exhaust louder.
