BMW F30 320D muffler delete? (N47)

Has anyone done a muffler delete on a N47? How's the sound? Also are there any downsides like droning? (just removing the muffler)

TIA

I removed mine when I wanted to swap to dual tips. Really no reason or purpose for doing so, the sound is marginally different but almost not noticeable.
You can look at my journal thread to see pics

Thanks for the reply.
Did you notice any droning at low RPMs? Is there any difference when inside the car?

I installed a exhaust cutout like 4 years ago. I Thought it would open up some noise when I bypassed the exhaust. It was a complete waste of time and money.

I removed mine few days ago, The back box does nothing.
If you remove it, you won't notice any difference.
In mine, I also decatted it, It smels bad, but pulls better. There is also a noticeable sound difference, without cat you can clearly hear the turbo whistle and the motor itself, but as I mentioned before, it smels bad.
