Resonator deleted problems?
I had the resonator deleted on my n20 328i and I feel that the car is less responsive, as in I have to step on the accelerator more for the car to go. This is felt especially in eco pro mode. Is this normal with a resonator delete? Or do I have a leak somewhere from the welding done by the shop?

Only thing i have done to my car performance wise. I thought the resonator delete would increase acceleration slightly, not the opposite lol.
I have ordered the active autowerke exhaust to go with the resonator delete, hopefully that solves the problem. I will have the shop check for leaks while they install the exhaust |

Lol cats are restrictive, mufflers are restrictive, resonators are not a restriction . You basically just cut out a section of straight through pipe and replaced it with a section of straight through pipe...
Now if you replaced a 3" resonator with a section or 2" piping, you will suffer a performance loss... My vote is placebo. |

did you end up getting the AA axleback? Got any sound clips? I have an AA axleback rn thinking about getting the resonator deleted as well but I'm not sure how drastic the change will be
