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..

DK's Video: Cherry Bomb Product i'm talking about:

 

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.

 

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...

 

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.

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.

 

are you going to keep the one sided muffer, or do a quad set up? the video you posted is a quad set up

 

Well if that is all you want to do, then it will not sound like DK's setup (removing the resonators is the real reason for the sound) and you will suffer some engine performance loss.

If you just want the sound....keep the cat, resonators and y-pipe muffler up front. This will help keep the sound down. Then do the muffler delete in the rear.

in short, just chop off your muffler in the rear and get some nice dual tips. If the sound is too loud for you, weld on a resonator from vibrant or any other quality company.

 

Would it be possible to put a cherry bomb in place of the muffler? I'm talking about the glass pack cherry bomb. I'm planning on doing that. Trying to avoid the whole welding part. I'd like to cut off the muffler and possibly find a clamp that would hold the cherry bomb in. That way if I decide I don't like the cherry bomb I can always put the muffler back in.
