The Truth Behind Quad Setups. Seperating Fact and Fiction.
Quick question guys. I just did a muffler delete on my single side oem bumper. I am going with the M5 bumper soon and I want to keep the straight pipe The resonator has a large 3" diameter pipe on it. What should I do? I am thinking a 3" Y pipe that splits into 2 2.25" pipes so I can run to my tips at the rear for my quad setup.
Has anyone else done a quad muffler delete setup?

I think removing the existing Y and installing a 2in/2out Magnaflow will be a better option. You may still have some drone but remember that current Y section has no sound deadening function at all. That Y section is NOT a resonator. If you dont care about the drone, then get rid of the Y pipe and put in a standard 2.25" X pipe, readily availiable from many sources.
Good luck
I have no drone with my current muffler delete and it sounds amazing and is inaudible at crusising speed, so adding a Y pipe split and new tip would have no difference in the sound or drone. I was told the factory system has a x pipe in it already. I have run around for a month with no muffler and its amazing, so I am just looking for the best way to turn my single exit muffler delete into a dual/quad muffler delete.

I'm pretty sure the piping is 2.25" as the quad tips in the back are a 2.25 inlet.
