is your car louder than jbizzy's?

Almost, not quite. He's running a full exhaust from the headers all the way back to the cans.

No, I have a Magna flow exhaust system, but i wouldnt have thought it would of been that loud.

I was actually going for a more quiet sound for my exhaust system, Im trying not to catch the attention of the the cops around here.

(Trying to make my car not as noticeable.)

GQuk545i, I think we may have the same setup and the same issues. I have magnaflow x-pipe, and 4" round mufflers. My car is waaay too loud at low rpm (especially cabin droning), but perfect at 3k+ rpm. I'm not sure how to fix it yet, but I'll take any suggestion at this point.

After a while you will get sick of it and it will start to drive you crazy. Ask me how I know.

I'm with you on this. I removed the resonator from the E63 and it now sounds like pure American muscle. I liked it at first but now getting tired of it. Getting Renntech exhaust and x-pipe put on to make the sound more European and pleasing to my ears.

its definitely not for everyone. i've had this setup for almost 4 months now, still not tired of it yet

i'm glad that as we approach winter the lower temp is making the exhaust bark even more ferocious.
maybe i should add headers too...

VT, how many resonators are on the e63? When you removed them/it, did you get any droning at any rpm? I'm discovering that x-pipe don't necessarily reduce sound (though some may claim so) but act to equalize the pressure from the 2 pipes. Some resonators (as I learned) are tuned to remove certain frequencies (usually low 90 hz ballpark).

Rich, more power to you.

But as for me, the droning is making my ride less enjoyable; I can't hear my music, and everybody is (those that aren't into loud sport exhaust notes) are looking at me weird on the streets. But the people that in tuners and sports are grinning and nodding their heads.
