Not sure how relevant it is, but I just had it removed on my 335i. I didn't notice much difference below 3k, but if I get on it, it's slightly louder. Can't complain for a $40.00 mod.

i did mine as well as a muffler delete using a fabricated y-pipe.

i removed the 2ndary resonator.

it sounds like a fighter jet when you WOT, inside the cabin.

at first i didnt like it so much. sounds very "unrefined" for a lack of a better word... but it grew on me instantly and i like it a lot.

as far as drone.. it is definitely promenant coming from stock. but this was what i was after and it may not be what others are looking for.

cold starts and WOT are intoxicating and loud AF

Do you also have MPE?

I am thinking of just deleting the mid resonator and leaving the MPE in place.

Step 1: Take to exhaust shop
Step 2: tell them to remove and weld in a pipe in place.
Step 3: pay and leave.
Step 4: enjoy

I can't understand paying $1500 for an exhaust system for these cars that MAY add 10hp. I didn't even spend that on my DP, CP, intake, and all the JB4 mods and that added like 150hp.

Remove both of your cats and resonator. Car will sound great.

I totally agree with this. Most of the expensive catbacks dont sound good imo. I do like how mpe sounds with a catless dp but thats still $800+ for a axleback.

Somebody help!!

Has anybody done JUST a resonator delete? Not a muffler delete or cat delete or downpipe or any of that extra stuff. Has anybody done JUST a res delete? I want my 340i to crackle and pop louder than it does so i was thinking doing res delete. A muffler delete is way too loud. Will doing just a res delete get me where i want?

Will it make the crackling and popping more intense?

I don?t have the money for a thousand dollar+ exhaust system as of right now but that definitely is an option in the future.

I have an MPE on my 2014 335i. I’m thinking of doing the resonator/muffler delete, but I don’t want drone. I really just want to be able to hear my turbos lol.

My thinking: upgrading to an MPE then removing the muffler basically makes the MPE upgrade useless no?


Any thoughts?

Yes, at one point my set up was JUST resonator delete with the MPE. The turbo sounded great and overall it was a good sound but it was not crisp. A little raspy.

My current set up is cat delete with the stock MPE setup. Sounds great, clean crisp 335i sound, aggressive, decently loud with a lot of pops and crackles even before the tune!
