Default E60 no sec cats + resonator delete + remus e60 axle back exhaust review

SO I FINALLY DID IT

GOT A REMUS AXLE BACK MUFFLER FOR MY E60 530I 2006

WHEN I FIRST INSTALLED IT , I NOTICED THAT I NEVER NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN EXHAUST ON THE CAR LOL

I contacted remus usa and they told me its normal since remus is known for being quiet.

So, i decided to remove the secondary cats which i did and BAMM ... Nothing

THE REMUS JUST WOULDNT WANT TO GET ANY LOUDER...

So i was like .. thats it... Resonator you are coming out today which is what i did...

NB: While the mechanic removed the resonator , he was busy making the pipes and my engine had only primary cats and piping till the cut of area . so i was curious to find out the real engine sound.. so i turned on the engine and wooowwww it was loud...and sounded like a small v8 at idle...

anyways he welded the pipes and all i have now is engine and primary cats and then piping till remus...

RESULTS:
1- LOUDER AND THROATIER
2- NO RASP WHATSOEVER
3- NO DRONE (REMUS IS A CHAMBERED MUFFLER)

I suggest everyone who has remus to do this

REMUS CARBON FIBER TIP STREET FOR E60 5 series : 631$ (clearance of Bravarian auto)

CAT AND RESONATOR REMOVAL : 80$ and 10$ tip for mechanic assistant

thats it... i wish i recorded it when it was the engine by itself before he welded the piping
it really sounded like a small v8 ,..
anyways i have a video on youtube with cats removed only

RESONATOR MADE IT LOUDER THAN THE VIDEO but much sweeter to the ear

nopes the sensors are on the primary cats which is directly below the engines , you will remove the secondary cats located in the back and the resonator located also in the back directly behind the sec cats... no error codes whatsoever since nothing is connected to them and they are independent from the computer of your car...
