Exclamation How to mod your exhaust, add sound at little cost

I modified my stock OEM exhaust to give it a closer, authentic BMW engine sound without breaking any regulations with the state. I did this with minimal cost and time.

All I did was cut-out the muffler (suitcase) and kept the CAT's and resonator. I lost 20-30lbs and added more sound.

Here is the video for reference, let me know your thoughts!

Best to enjoy this with headphones.

Well, not really, most threads are for straight pipe, I still kept my CATS and Resonator. I just took out the box and it sounds amazing. Sorry for the link, I edited it.

Eh even so, these types of threads are a dime a dozen. Glad you're enjoying your mod though!

Something to note is your regulations bit is misleading because this isn't necessarily still legal. Since you're in CA, it needs to be less than 95dBs at a certain spec according to vehicle code. So while you're still retaining your cars for emissions, you may still get a ticket for not having a muffler.

Here's what I did on my F22. Similar to the OEM mod for the E9x M3 guys.

That's hilarious. I'm straight pipe from the turbo back but I had to but a small vibrant muffler in there otherwise the drone gave me a migraine
