04 545i exhaust confusion.. Cherry Bombs??
 
Like others on this forum, I watched DKNewYork's videos about his 545i with Cherry Bomb Glass Pack mufflers, and i cant help but want that sound on my own 545. So, I went through the threads and read about this exhaust setup, but still have questions..If I simply buy two of those Cherry Bomb Glass Pack Mufflers and put them in place of the two stock ones, will I get the same sound, more or less? I think what DK did was get the resonators removed, and just have two of those cherry bombs mufflers go to a quad outlet. However I want to keep my stock bumper, and just replace the current mufflers with the Cherry Bombs..

I assume his dual setup is just 2 of those, one per side so yes if you replaced yours it should sound similar. I'm not a fan of it. It sounds mean but it sounds too american muscle to me. Not at all refined, just loud and raw.

EuropeanArtz 02-05-2015 01:23 PM

Yeah i'm hoping it will sound similar, that car he's got in the video sounds like an absolute monster..
Anyway i'm probably gonna get the 2 stock mufflers removed, and get the cherry bombs installed. If I do ill go ahead and post my results, not sure when that will be though..

Personally? It will sound like a car that wants to be a V8 but the pitch is to high and sounds like a straight 6 with a bad exhaust... Which is exactly what it is.

What? A 545i is a V8, not straight 6...

Yeah how do you figure? My car is a 545i not a 525 or 530.. 4.4 V8 not a straight 6.
I'm going for the same sound in the video above, more or less.

Unless you o exactly what DK did, you will not get the same sound! I am not sure that asking for advice on this forum for something as 'one-off' as this is of any use.

All you will get is opinions and, as you have seen, some very uniformed opinions.

Ask DK what he/she did exactly. However, if you don't want the quad setup, then you will not get the same sound.

I do know what dk did, I read it in his original thread about this, but I don't want to replicate it. Just trying to see how I can possibly get a similar sound from a simplified setup.

a muffler delete out to tips will get you almost the same result. if it's too loud or annoying, then you can weld on a resonator.

Although I want to, sadly I cannot do a muffler delete.. so I'm just trying to find a good, and preferably cheap mufler to replace the stock ones, and get a similar sound as in DK'S video.
I'm going for that v8 rumble, something mean but not ridiculously loud.
