the rear muffler has been removed and replaced with pipes then I put 3" tips on its pretty easily done. If your considering it make sure to keep the stock muffler in-case you want to revert to stock

Oh alright, yea right after i commented I watched your video again and saw tips so I wasn't sure. wow yea that is a cheap upgrade so did you buy piping and took it somewhere for the bends? how many feet did you buy? Im deff thinking about this upgrade once spring comes I like the loudness from outside the car but the driving while inside didn't sound much different then stock, as far as I'm concerned thats best of both worlds. lucky for us power wise I can't see gaining much but I also can't see loosing any, and if all your looking for is sound then this looks to be the best option on a tight budget due to the fact 90% of exhausts I've looked at are close to the 1,000 dollar range
no gain and no loss noted or felt on the butt dyno I had a local shop do it. total cost was about 100. I wasnt worried about loosing power because stock cats and both stock resonators are in place allowing for adequate back pressure. basically its just a noise maker which sets the car out just a little more than it was
youtube is blocked at work...damn i had been thinking about a muffler delete for a while, was just worried about a drone on the highway...
Just listened to those videos on my phone, and boy am I impressed. Sounds darn good. May have to start looking into finding a reputable muffler shop.
Midland can you snap a photo of the delete for me? I did it on my 328 e90 but it was just a single pipe then a Y tip attached. I want to see how it was done having 2 pipes this time. Also what tips did you use/where did you get them?
maybe we can get a discount at a shop if we bring in two cars...
Why would you delete a muffler when you can just delete resonators? You can always tell when theres a car with no muffler around, plus it doesn't look right.
well i guess the issue we've discussed above is that deleting the resonator's will increase the "drone" of the exhaust at cruise. and if you listen to those videos, just deleting the muffler increases the sound just enough to make it sound better IMO
That's why you add an x-pipe, no?
IDK, I would never be able to part with my ZHP muffler. I love the way it sounds when cruising with that nice low note it gives. If I was getting rid of that, it'd only be for another full exhaust
