Resonator delete

Anyone do this with factory muffler? Did it maybe get a tad louder? Not ready to buy catback?

I did a resonator delete but before that I changed my stock muffler to dual aFe's. After the resonator delete it was louder but not so loud it bothers the neighbors, I got pops and burbles too, I love it. There is some drone but I grew up in the 70's in the American muscle car era so it doesn't bother me at all, I like it.

Got a resonator delete with the MPE. Big difference in sound. The mid-range opens up more and there's no drone. The beauty of a valved system!!!!!

I don’t have the mpe but regular muffler hoping it will let out a little more sound.

I know, I was just telling you what happened with my MPE, but the same will happen with any system! (stock or aftermarket).

Go for it! Most you'll spend is $100 for the delete at a muffler shop

I am considering this as well with my 2015 335i X-drive M Sport. Is this something a regular Muffler shop can do or should I bring it my local BMW guy and spend a bit more?

Local muffler shop can easily do it.

What should I expect to pay? This won't throw any codes nor do anything to my CPO warranty or maintenance protection, right?

Def no codes. Not sure about the warranty, but it shouldn't have any effect.

Can anyone confirm the pipe size for the res delete? Is it 3"? Ideally stainless?

Wondering if https://www.amazon.com/Nickson-17657...dp/B0049EIAA0/ would work (aluminized though)

Any chance you have an exhaust video? I also have an MPE muffler and want to do a resonator delete. Want it a little bit louder, but not loud enough to wake the neighbors - not that their well being is my top priority anyways..

Deleting the resonator will only introduce drone in the cabin. It doesn't make the exhaust louder on the outside because you still have a muffler. Your best option is to go catless, but then you must deal with inspection if your state does that.

Else your only other option is to install a different muffler/exhaust system.

This is what I've figured. Catless + OEM resonator/muffler sounds damn good from the outside. But the cabin is insulated so well you can barely hear it from the inside, so people end up deleting the resonators to hear it more while they're driving. I think the drone would make me regret it, though.
