Just picked it up. At initial start up it sounded a little louder, not too much tho. I just drove it up and down the road a few times (im still actually working) But when i was going past my dealership they all apparently jumped to look what it was. It sounds more throaty and louder obviously. I LOVE IT! but i gotta take it to the highway at some cruising speeds to see if ill be annoyed. But so far, it doesnt seem so much louder.

Hi tiangco! Long time don't see you. I didn't know that you removed the magnaflow. just straight pipes instead? how do you feel? any gains? I would like to know which muffler shop did the job? I am thinking for a custom exhaust for my M5. Please pm me.

So my current setup is the pancake resonator delete and my magnaflow muffler placed there, and from the 2 out i have each pipe going to each side of the car. Now the question is, Should i just delete the muffler? I know it will be louder and probably drone, but i really dont mind that. And worst case scenario i can always put it back in. What do you guys think? Delete the magnaflow and just have pipes?
PLEASE CHIME IN ANYONE! OH AND ALSO, i was talking to Eloy from RPI and I believe if i can remember our conversation correctly, he was telling me to go with smaller pipes, i think he said 2.25.
Thanks and any words would be awesome

I'd definitely not do a muffler delete. You will lose a lot of nice tone and it will become obnoxious. Keep the Magnaflow and split it out to the two sides.
