My Ride: Alpine White 530i Mtech
Whats up guys?? I curently have magnaflow muffler and will be adding another muffler with in the next month. I was thinking about removing one of my resonators. 
Now I have one muffler it sounds good but I want to bring the noise. lol Has anyone heard a 530 with exhaust and a resonator removed or have a video. Thanks for the insight
BTW- I just dropped off my Asantis to get repainted for the summer

for inline 6 you need to change the headers and remove the cat converter to get the noise... without changing the headers...straight pipe without muffler will not sound very loud...

Anthony,
Here's what I think you should try, delete your muffler but keep your resonators, all three of them. See how that sounds. Best of all, it's cheap.

Unfortunately, you were not a part of the text messaging that went on tonight. I was shopping with my wife (at Victoria's Secret no less...MEOW), when I got the text from a few individuals as to the joke that was about to be played on you. Hahahaha!
