what about drone, I already have catless dp & when i got the AA axle- back found it's catless too so after installing experienced drone for quit a while, it decreased by time but now i want to do resonator delete so will there be any drone again or even worse this time ?

There is only a single cat and this is in the downpipe. Resonators are designed to reduce the amount of resonance. Resonance is caused when sound waves hit certain frequencies. Removing the resonator will most likely cause the sound to resonate (cause drone)

I thought people have claimed that the AA exhaust doesn't cause drone?

With my setup (catless dp, no resonator and stock muffler with no fiberglass inside) I have ZERO drone. The sound is amazing, and burble at every downshift, and burp at every upshift like a shotgun!

I have some sound files, but I only know how to send by email... If you want, pm me eith your email.
But if you want to know how it sounds its like the link bellow shows:



And here I'm posting some pictures of how the fiberglass was took off.
You have to do it in both sides of the muffler.

I'm also from Brazil SP, I've just ordered JB4 for my N20 320i.
Could you tell me where you bought your downpipe?

Hi Tom, I bought it from ER (Evolution RaceWerk). They sent me by DHL and I received it in 4 days.
But if you want, GIBA at São Bernardo had mine as a prototype to make a mold and now they are selling!
I sold my 328i, if you want I have some bolt on's to sell, such as AFE Intake, P3 cars digital gauge, two set of wheels (18" and 19"), and rear aero. My DP is with a friend, but I don't know if he will really use it, so if you want I can call him and ask for it.

Cheers!
