I just got my magnaflow muffler installed. It was at OK Muffler shop and they did a good job.
It is droning (per wife) and I probably need to put a resonator on it. Anyone know what type of resonator to use?

NICE! If you deleted your resonators then you do have drone, but if you only changed the muffler's out you should have little to no drone.

whats next for the e39?
After mechanicals are done will be putting on M5 bumper and maybe painting or re-spray. Car is Cosmos Black. I love driving the car. I actually drive it more than my e60. Oh, suspension and lowered and new wheels. I tired to fit the take offs from my e60 on but they didn't fit. Hole patter was correct but there was a lip or something on the e39 wheel. Is my daily so am testing out DIY stuff on her too.
